This device may be used by appropriate caregivers in hospitals, long-term care facilities or home-care settings. The Sherlock™ Tip Location System (TLS) Detector provides rapid feedback to the caregiver, but was not designed to replace conventional methods of placement verification. Users are urged to confirm correct placement according to their established institutional protocol and clinical judgment. ## Device Story Handheld, battery or line-powered detector; uses passive field sensors to detect magnetic fields from magnet-tipped catheter stylets; does not emit energy. Used by caregivers during initial PICC/CVC placement to provide real-time feedback on catheter tip location and orientation. Output displayed to caregiver; intended to supplement, not replace, conventional placement verification methods (e.g., institutional protocols). Benefits include rapid feedback during procedure, potentially aiding accurate placement. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Accuracy and user interface performance met requirements. ## Technological Characteristics Handheld, battery or line-powered device. Passive magnetic field sensing technology. No energy emission into patient. Compatible with magnet-tipped PICC/CVC stylets. ## Regulatory Identification A percutaneous, implanted, long-term intravascular catheter is a device that consists of a slender tube and any necessary connecting fittings, such as luer hubs, and accessories that facilitate the placement of the device. The device allows for repeated access to the vascular system for long-term use of 30 days or more, and it is intended for administration of fluids, medications, and nutrients; the sampling of blood; and monitoring blood pressure and temperature. The device may be constructed of metal, rubber, plastic, composite materials, or any combination of these materials and may be of single or multiple lumen design. ## Special Controls *Classification.* Class II (special controls) Guidance Document: “Guidance on Premarket Notification [510(k)] Submission for Short-Term and Long-Term Intravascular Catheters.” ## Predicate Devices - Zortran Detector (K00099) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

A battery charger is also provided. The Sherlock™ Tip Location System (TLS) Detector uses only passive field sensors, and does not emit energy of any sort into the patient.

The Sherlock™ Tip Location System (TLS) Detector is designed (and labeled) to be used only with a compatible PICC or CVC intravascular catheter stylet which contains one or more small, specially oriented magnets encapsulated at the distal end. It provides rapid feedback to a caregiver about the location and orientation of these magnet-tipped devices during initial placement. | | | | | Premarket Testing: | Type | Characteristics Tested | Results | | | | Bench | Accuracy | Meets accuracy claim | | | | Bench | User interface | Meets requirements | | ™ Sherlock is a registered trademark of Bard Access Systems {1}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/1/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
