A central venous catheter navigation system control unit is a portable, mains-powered device designed to process and display electrocardiographic data. It is used clinically to assist healthcare professionals in accurately guiding and positioning central venous catheters, such as peripherally-inserted central catheters, within the patient's vascular system.
These units function by connecting to specialized cables and leads to interpret signals from the catheter, which acts as an intravascular electrode. By comparing these internal signals with surface electrocardiographic data, the system provides real-time feedback on the location of the catheter tip. Users should note that this equipment is intended to be used as part of a broader navigation system and does not include the catheters or leads themselves.
