2.0 Indications for Use The N autilus D elta™ Tip Confirmation System (TCS) is indicated for navigation and positioning of central venous access devices (CVADs) of at least 3 Fr in size. The N autilus D elta™ TCS provides real-time catheter tip location information by using the patient’s cardiac electrical activity and is indicated for use as an alternative method to chest X-ray and fluoroscopy for CVAD tip placement confirmation. In adult patients and in adolescents (greater than 12 through 21 years of age), the N autilus D elta™ TCS can be used with CVADs such as peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs), central venous catheters (CVCs), implantable ports, and hemodialysis catheters; in children (greater than 2 to 12 years of age), the N autilus D elta™ TCS can be used with PICCs and with centrally inserted central catheters (CICCs); in infants (greater than 1 month to 2 years of age) and in neonates (from birth to 1 month of age), the N autilus D elta™ TCS can be used with CICCs. In each specific age group, the CVAD type and size must be chosen and the CVAD must be used according to the CVAD’s indications and instructions for use. Limiting but not contraindicated situations for this method 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.
3.0 Contraindications There are no contraindications specific to the N autilus D elta™ TCS.
