Arrow® VPS Rhythm® Device with Optional TipTracker™ Technology
Take the guesswork out of PICC navigation and tip placement with the Arrow® VPS Rhythm® Device with optional TipTracker™ Technology. This easy-to-use system provides real-time visual navigation, tracing the catheter pathway on a color screen. Plus, it helps you confirm final tip placement using familiar ECG technology, helping to expedite patient therapy and eliminate the need for a confirmatory chest x-ray.1,2
- See and adjust the location of the PICC path in real time, with the greatest range of visual
tip tracking on the market
- Designed to work with a broad range of PICC brands and sizes
- TipTracker™ Stylet is also available preloaded in all lumen configurations of Arrow® PICCs
- Confirm final tip placement using familiar ECG technology
- With no calibration required, save time and frustration
- Eliminate the need for confirmatory chest X-ray or fluoroscopy1,2
- Clinical user captures external baseline ECG rhythm snapshot and the Device automatically switches to intravascular mode
- T-piece and TipTracker™ Stylet use electromagnetic tracking to visualize the catheter pathway on the screen in real-time, enabling immediate catheter adjustments during navigation
- As the tip of the catheter approaches the superior vena cava (SVC), ECG waveform changes
- Clinical user captures intravascular ECG snapshots of negative P-wave deflection and maximum P-wave to ensure correct catheter placement
- Tip Confirmation Checklist helps verify tip placement in lower 1/3 of SVC, near the CAJ, without requiring a chest X-ray or fluoroscopy1,2
Choose the catheter type that is right for your patient and clinical scenario. The Arrow® VPS Rhythm® Device, with optional TipTracker™ Technology, is compatible with a broad range of PICC brands and sizes (3 Fr. - 6 Fr. or inner lumen diameter of ≥ 0.018 in.).
For convenience and patient protection, Arrow® PICCs and Arrowg+ard Blue Advance™ PICCs are available preloaded with the TipTracker™ Stylet and are ready to use with the VPS Rhythm® Device to create a fully integrated and powerful solution that helps you quickly achieve catheter placement.
