Summary

The purpose of the study is to evaluate differences in the time and costs between Sherlock 3CG® TCS and Chest X-ray to confirm the location of a Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC).

Conditions

  • Indication for PICC Placement

Interventions

DEVICE

Chest X-ray

A Chest X-ray will be taken after healthcare providers have inserted the PICC to make sure it is in the correct location. The X-ray can tell your healthcare providers where the PICC is and whether is has been inserted correctly.

DEVICE

Sherlock 3CG® TCS

The Sherlock 3CG® TCS is a device that is placed on the subject during the PICC insertion procedure, which helps your healthcare providers know where the PICC is as the healthcare providers are inserting it. It uses magnets and measures electrical activity of the heart to determine the location of the catheter in your body.

PROCEDURE

Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC)

A peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) is a form of intravenous access that can be used for a prolonged period of time (e.g., for chemotherapy, antibiotics, total parenteral nutrition)
