Sensor incorrectly oriented.
Orient sensor correctly per procedure.
Stylet outside sensor depth range (3 to 11 cm).
- 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).
Too much time has passed since calibration. Magnetic fields have changed.
Pull catheter tip back at least 12 inches (30 cm) from the sensor, recalibrate and
re-advance catheter.
Stylet did not advance under the sensor.
Pull catheter back and re-advance.
Stylet not at the catheter tip.
Ensure stylet tip is within 1 cm of distal end of catheter. Adjust as necessary.
Incompatible catheter.
Verify that the Bard Access Systems’ catheter kit has a [ ] icon or [ ] icon.
Stylet magnet trimmed off.
Replace catheter with a new Bard Access Systems’ catheter from a kit labeled
[ ] or [ ]
Stylet at edge of sensor’s depth range (3 to 11 cm).
1. Pull catheter back until stylet icon is stable.
2. Verify catheter is moving in the correct direction and continue placement.
Magnetic interference.

Pull catheter tip back at least 12 inches (30 cm) from the sensor, recalibrate
and re-advance catheter.
Stylet is out of sensor’s depth range (3 to 11 cm).
1. Pull catheter back until stylet icon is stable.
2. Verify catheter is moving in the correct direction and continue placement using
ECG guidance and catheter measurement..
