Piccolo Medical specializes in advanced technologies for the placement of Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters (PICCs) and Central Venous Catheters (CVCs). Their flagship product, the SmartPICC® System, is a 510(k) cleared device that utilizes intravascular ECG technology to confirm the positioning of PICCs at the bedside, offering a safer and more efficient alternative to traditional chest x-ray methods. This system employs ionic dilution technology, which leverages blood flow to guide the catheter from the insertion site to the superior vena cava, significantly reducing the risk of malpositioned catheters and associated complications such as thrombosis.

Additionally, the SmartPICC® app incorporates a machine learning algorithm that processes ionic dilution data streams, providing real-time feedback to healthcare professionals during catheter navigation. This innovative approach not only streamlines the setup process—taking under 90 seconds—but also minimizes patient wait times for medication infusion by eliminating the need for chest x-ray confirmation, which can average 78 minutes. The ECGuide™ technology further enhances placement accuracy and reduces complication rates, showcasing Piccolo Medical's commitment to improving patient outcomes through cutting-edge medical technology.
