• Caution: Never use force to remove the stylet. Resistance can damage
the catheter. If resistance or bunching of the catheter is observed, stop
stylet withdrawal and allow the catheter to return to normal shape.
Withdraw both the catheter and stylet together approximately 2 cm and
reattempt stylet removal. Repeat this procedure until the stylet is easily
removed. Once the stylet is out, advance the catheter into the desired
position (zero mark).

• Caution: To minimize the risk of catheter breakage and embolization, the
catheter must be secured in place.
• Warning: When using alcohol or alcohol containing antiseptics with
polyurethane PICCs, care should be taken to avoid prolonged or excessive
contact. Solutions should be allowed to completely dry before applying an
occlusive dressing. Chlordexidine gluconate and/or povidone iodine are the
suggested antiseptics to use.
• Warning: Alcohol should not be used to soak or declot polyurethane PICCs
because alcohol is known to degrade polyurethane catheters over time with
repeated and prolonged exposure.
• Warning: Acetone and polyethylene glycol containing ointments should not
be used with polyurethane catheters, as these may cause failure of the
device.
