The PM2+ System and SmartPICC Stylet is indicated for guidance and positioning of commercially available central venous catheters. The Stylet provides stiffness for use in placement of the catheter, intravascular capability for ECG detection and recording for catheter guiding and positioning, and intravascular ionic dilution for supplemental catheter navigation. The SmartPICC Stylet, when used with the PM2+ System, provides real-time catheter tip location information by using the patient's physiological (cardiac electrical activity and blood flow) information. When relying on the patient's ECG signal, the PM2+ System and SmartPICC Stylet is indicated for use as an alternative method to fluoroscopy or chest x-ray for central venous catheter tip placement confirmation in adult patients. The SmartPICC Stylet is indicated for use with PICC lines having a minimum lumen diameter of 0.021". Limiting but not contraindicated situations for this technique are in patients where alterations of cardiac rhythm change the presentation of the P-wave as in atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, severe tachycardia and pacemaker driven rhythm. In such patients, who are easily identifiable prior to central venous catheter insertion the use of an additional method is required to confirm catheter tip location.

The PM2+ System and SmartPICC Stylet is a device used by clinicians for bedside navigation and tip location confirmation of central venous catheters including PICCs. The PM2+ System and SmartPICC Stylet provide real-time catheter tip location information by using intravascular ECG (ivECG). The SmartPICC Stylet provides intravascular ECG for catheter tip location confirmation as well as an optional, ionic dilution navigation feature. The SmartPICC Stylet is used only during PICC installation, and removed once the PICC tip position is confirmed to be at the target location. The SmartPICC Stylet is electrically connected to the PM2+ system which processes, displays, and stores the ECG waveforms as well as the ionic dilution data. The PM2+ System is also compatible with the commercially available ECGuide Connector.

The Piccolo Medical PM2™ System with ECGuide™ Connector is indicated for the positioning of central venous catheters including PICCs. It provides catheter tip location information by using the patient's cardiac electrical activity. The PM2™ System with ECGuide™ Connector is indicated for use as an alternative method to chest x-ray or fluoroscopy for confirmation of central venous catheter 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 central catheter insertion. In these specific cases, use of an additional confirmation method is necessary to confirm catheter tip location.

The PM2™ System and ECGuide™ Connector is a device used by clinicians for bedside tip location confirmation of central venous catheters. The PM2™ System and ECGuide™ Connector provide real-time catherer tip location information by using intravascular ECG (ivECG). The ECGuide™ Connected to the distal lumen hub of a CVC and primed with saline to create an ivECG electrode at the distal tip of the catheter and allow for ECG catheter tip confirmation. The EGuide™ Connector is used only during CVC installation, and removed once the CVC tip position is confirmed to be at the target location. The ECGuide™ Connected to the PM2 system which processes, displays, and stores the ECG waveforms.
