Magnetic Navigation Troubleshooting
Magnetic navigation does not detect stylet
Cause
: Sensor incorrectly oriented.
Solution
: Orient sensor correctly per procedure.
Cause
: Stylet outside sensor depth range (3 to
11 cm).
Solution
:
If the vein is deep
, ensure that the top
of the sensor on the insertion side is touching
the patient's skin (e.g. by using tape).
If the vein
is shallow
, lift the sensor away from the skin
(e.g. by using a folded blanket).
Cause
: Too much time has passed since
calibration. Magnetic fields have changed.
Solution
: Pull catheter tip back at least 12 inches
(30 cm) from the sensor, recalibrate and re-
advance catheter.
Cause
: Stylet did not advance under the sensor.
Solution
: Pull catheter back and re-advance.
Cause
: Stylet not at the catheter tip.
Solution
: Ensure stylet tip is within 1 cm of distal
end of catheter. Adjust as necessary.
Cause
: Incompatible catheter.
Solution
: Verify that the Bard Access Systems’
catheter kit has a
icon or
icon.
Cause
: Stylet magnet trimmed off.
Solution
: Replace catheter with a new Bard
Access Systems’ catheter from a kit labeled
or
