Getting to the Heart of the Matter
Clinicians using Sherlock 3CG™ Tip Confirmation System (TCS) for PICC placement have eliminated harmful radiation from confirmatory chest X-rays1 and reduced costs to their healthcare facilities.2
Sherlock 3CG™ Diamond TCS provides an enhanced user interface with updated functionality.
P-wave highlighting—Helps the clinician determine if the P-wave is present, identifiable, and consistent.
Max P-wave identification—Enhances the user interface by identifying max P-wave with stylet color and shape change, as well as ECG highlight and color change.
In addition, Sherlock 3CG™ Diamond TCS includes all of the great features of Sherlock 3CG™ TCS.
Sherlock 3CG™ Diamond TCS provides an enhanced user interface with updated functionality.
- Simultaneous view of catheter tip tracking and ECG
Integrates catheter tip tracking and ECG confirmation on the same display
- Static ECG baseline
Provides comparative ECG waveform for interpretation of P-wave changes and to assist in maximum P-wave identification
- Dynamic ECG waveform
Measures changes in P-wave morphology to allow you to position the catheter tip in proximity to the cavoatrial junction
- Maintain sterile field
Through-drape connection allows you to maintain a maximal barrier sterile field during placement. The probe and wireless remote allow you to maintain sterility while interfacing with Sherlock 3CG™ TCS
- Tip confirmation documentation
Allows for PICC tip location to be easily documented in a patient's chart or stored on the Sherlock 3CG™ TCS System
- Guideline compliance
Helps you comply with AVA and INS guidelines for proper PICC placement by helping to position the PICC tip in proximity to the cavoatrial junction
- Indicated for use as an alternative method to chest X-ray and fluoroscopy for PICC tip placement confirmation in adult patients with a present, identifiable, and consistent P-wave
- Immediate confirmation of PICC tip position at the bedside and immediate release of the PICC line
- Decreases time from initiation of insertion procedure to release for IV therapy as compared to “blind” catheter placements confirmed with chest X-ray3
- Eliminates costs associated with confirmatory chest X-ray and time previously spent waiting for X-ray confirmation readings2
- Eliminates confirmatory chest X-ray exposure to the patient and the clinician
Recommended by National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) UK2

Discover the journey of a PICC
Using X-ray to confirm PICC tip placement potentially delays time to treatment and exposes patients to harmful radiation.1
The Sherlock 3CG™ Tip Confirmation System (TCS) gets to the heart of the matter by using an adult patient's cardiac electrical activity to position the tip of the PICC in close proximity to the Cavo Atrial Junction (CAJ). Final tip location is confirmed by the nurse at the bedside, and infusion therapy can begin immediately without the need for a confirmatory chest x-ray.
Clinical Study Results
In a clinical study, 99.1% of 114 PICCs were placed at the CAJ or within +/- 1 cm using Sherlock 3CG™ Tip Confirmation technology.4
Sherlock 3CG™ Tip Confirmation System (TCS) simplifies the PICC insertion process by combining PICC tip placement technology into select Site~Rite™ Ultrasound systems.
The Site~Rite™ 8 Ultrasound System is currently available with integrated Sherlock 3CG™ Diamond TCS.
The Site~Rite™ 8 Ultrasound System with integrated Sherlock 3CG™ TCS is a "one-stop-shop" for PICC placements, allowing you these capabilities:
- Evaluate and assess patient vasculature
- Select and access the appropriate vessel
- Use tip tracking technology to locate and navigate the catheter tip to the SVC
- Use ECG technology to distinguish changes in P-wave amplitude and identify max P-wave
- Confirm catheter tip placement at the Cavo Atrial Junction (CAJ) without the need for a confirmatory chest X-ray
- DICOM® (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) on select systems or printed documentation
