The Celerity System is indicated for the positioning of Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters (PICC) in adult patients. It provides real-time catheter tip location information by using the patient’s cardiac electrical activity. The Celerity System is indicated for use as an alternative method to chest x-ray or fluoroscopy confirmation of PICC tip placement in adult patients.
Note: In general, devices that utilize ECG technique to observe P-wave are limited, but not contraindicated for patients where cardiac rhythms may change presentation of the P-wave; including:
• Atrial fibrillation
• Atrial flutter
• Severe tachycardia
• Pacemaker-driven rhythm
• Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
Such patients are easily identified prior to PICC insertion. Use of an additional confirmation method is necessary to confirm catheter tip location.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
