The Sherlock 3CG Tip Positioning System Stylet is a Catheter, Intravascular, Therapeutic, Long-Term Greater Than 30 Days, designed for precise tip positioning within central venous access devices (CVADs). It employs magnetic tracking and ECG-based technology to confirm catheter placement, reducing reliance on fluoroscopy or chest X-rays for verification.

This single-use stylet is intended for use in general hospital settings and integrates with the Sherlock 3CG system to provide real-time tip location feedback via magnetic tracking and P-wave analysis. Supplied sterile, it requires no additional regulatory approval beyond its FDA 510(k) clearance under Special Review (K172397). Compatible with various catheter types, it is stored under standard medical device conditions and must be handled in accordance with aseptic techniques.
