TM

Central venous catheter tip positioning vygocardTM is an intracavitary ECG adapter lead connecting the catheter to the ECG lead. When connected to a column of saline, vygocardTM conducts the P wave signal measured at the distal tip of the catheter to PILOT TM, dedicated ECG system for CVC distal tip positioning or to any ECG monitor.

Easy connection Safe connection Luer-lock connection for the catheter hub Accurate signal Contact electrode for ECG signal via a liquid column

20 / box

Clipped or clamped to the yellow lead of pilotTM TLS system

Connection for the syringe of saline

If you use a standard ECG monitor please connect vygocardTM to the red lead.

Why use the ECG technique for tip positioning?

This technique is based on the amplitude variations of the P wave when the catheter, acting as an intracavitary electrode, comes closer to the right atrium.

Advantages

• Allows to check and correct the position of the catheter tip in real time very accurately • Eliminates the use of fluoroscopy during placement (ESPEN guidelines 2009) • Avoids repositioning central venous catheters • Ability to check the catheter tip position at any time after insertion
