Intended purpose

The PowerPICC® catheter is indicated for short or long term peripheral access to the central venous system for intravenous therapy, blood sampling, power injection of contrast media, and allows for central venous pressure monitoring. When used with the Sherlock 3CG* Tip Confirmation System (TCS), the Sherlock 3CG* TPS stylet also provides the placer real-time feedback on catheter tip location and orientation through the use of passive magnets and cardiac electrical signal detection.

The Sherlock 3CG* TPS stylet is made of specially-formulated materials designed to aid in the placement of peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs).
