ECG Catheter Tip Location – For more accurate central line and PICC line placement
Discover the Pilot TLS from Vygon UK, a specialist ECG catheter tip location system to enable more accurate central line and PICC (Peripherally inserted Central Catheters) line placement.
Pilot TLS is suitable for use in the placement of PICC’s, short and long-term CVC’s (central venous catheters) and implantable ports. Certified for use on all patients from neonatal to adults, and with a dedicated mode for patients living with atrial fibrillation.
The importance if interpreting the P wave with ECG
Studies consistently show that the interpretation of P wave changes is the most accurate and reliable way of determining catheter tip location and accurate navigation of the line during the insertion procedure.
The alternative method of PICC/CVC placement relies on x-ray after the procedure taking place to confirm placement. With those that are misplaced needing to repeat the procedure at a cost to the patient and trust.
The Pilot TLS incorporates several real-time features designed to improve P wave interpretations, therefore enabling clinicians to achieve accurate navigation and tip location.
Why use Pilot TLS ECG Catheter Tip Location?
- Minimising exposure to X-ray radiation
- Immediate feedback with accurate real-time data on tip placement
- Easily portable and suitable for acute and non-acute settings
