Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Is indicated for a PICC based on institutional practices
  • Is ≥ 18 years of age
  • Is expected to require use of a PICC for a minimum of 10 days
  • Has normal findings on initial ultrasonography (complete Ultrasound Checklist)
  • Vein used for PICC placement must be a minimum of 5mm in diameter
  • Is able to comprehend and have signed the Informed Consent Form (ICF) to participate in the study (or has the ICF signed by the patient's legal representative)

Exclusion

  • Anticipates or has presence of dialysis grafts or other ipsilateral intraluminal devices, including pacemakers (with the exception of peripheral IV catheters)
  • Has current or anticipated hematologic derangements, including:
  • thrombocytopenia
  • history of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia
  • coagulopathy (International Normalized Ratio 2.5 or greater)
  • established diagnosis of hypercoagulable syndrome (e.g., protein C and S deficiency, anti-phospholipid antibody or polycythemia) or requires systemic therapeutic anticoagulation (Note: The following prophylactic treatments are allowed: subcutaneous heparin or enoxaparin sodium injection, and concomitant use of platelet aggregation inhibitors, e.g., Plavix/Ticlid/aspirin)
  • Has central veno-occlusive disease
  • Has history of previous catheter-related thrombosis
  • Has arm identified for catheterization that exhibits any of the following (and the contralateral arm is also unsuitable for PICC placement based on the same criteria):
  • Current (or prior history of) venous thrombosis in all or any portion of the vein where the catheter is expected to reside
  • Conditions that impede venous return from the extremity (such as paralysis or lymphedema after mastectomy)
  • Pre-existing skin surface or subsurface infection at or near the proposed catheter insertion site
  • Anatomical distortions from surgery, injury or trauma (e.g., orthopedic conditions such as compound fractures requiring reconstructive procedures)
  • Anatomical irregularities (structural, vascular, neurological) which may compromise catheter insertion or catheter care procedures in the involved extremity (e.g., reflex sympathetic dystrophy)
  • Is pregnant or lactating
  • Has been previously enrolled in this clinical study, or is participating in another clinical study that is contraindicative to the treatment or outcomes of this investigation
