We change with every blood draw and dsg changes, but we use a very inexpensive cap on our PASV catheters. We used to change with every dsg change and when blood or "stuff" was visible when we used the CLC2000 cap, but that was only due to the high expense of the cap. Don't have to worry about positive pressure caps anymore with the PASV catheter.

I know this is popular in some places. The INS is to change when blood visible.
