About Arrow VPS Rhythm DLX Device
Teleflex’s next-generation VPS Rhythm DLX Device provides real-time catheter tip location information by using the patient’s cardiac electrical activity. The device is also available with an optional integrated ultrasound, featuring a Catheter-to-Vessel ratio tool that promotes standardization in vessel measurement.

This device works in concert with the Arrow PICC preloaded with the NaviCurve Stylet, providing innovative tip navigation/location technologies. These tools are engineered to work together to give Vascular Access Specialists more efficient and predictable PICC placement. The VPS Rhythm DLX Device eliminates the need for a confirmatory x-ray, helping the clinician seamlessly move from ultrasound vessel assessment through PICC navigation to final tip confirmation in the lower third of the superior vena cava (SVC).
Due to the variability of patient vasculature, all PICCs can occasionally have difficulty advancing into the SVC on the first attempt. This led to the design of the NaviCurve Stylet with an anatomical curve and flexible tip that self-orients to patient anatomy for enhanced PICC advancement into the SVC for successful insertion.
