## Indications for use
The Pilot TLS is indicated for use in positioning of PICCs. The Pilot TLS provides real-time catheter tip location information by displaying changes in the patient's cardiac electrical activity. Pilot TLS is indicated for use as an alternative method to chest X-ray or fluoroscopy confirmation of PICC tip placement in adult patients. Note: Limited, but not contraindicated, situations for this technique are patients where cardiac rhythms may change presentation of the P-wave: - 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 additional method is necessary to confirm catheter tip location.
