I have a question for both groups:
A medical device sales rep has been telling us that using positive pressure caps (i.e. CLC 2000, Ultrasite, etc.) with open ended PICC lines, which have clamps on the extension legs, are a safety concern. He states that if a nurse forgets to clamp the extension leg, and the positive pressure cap comes off, then a bleed out situation could occur and this is a safety concern.
Can anyone that has had experience using positive pressure caps with open ended PICC lines please validate what we are being told?
Thank you very much!
