Abstract: Disclosed is a method of notifying medical professionals or caregivers of a type of peripherally inserted central and midline catheter being employed on a given patient, preventing unnecessary movement of the extremity, unnecessary or premature removal of an existing catheter line and ensuring proper treatment of the patient if the patient is transferred from one location to another. The method employs an identification bracelet having information related to the inserted catheter, including the type of catheter employed, its size, length and indwell length, as well as the insertion date thereof. Further provided is a notice of a restricted extremity, which prevents the catheter from being tugged or unnecessarily moved while inserted. The method ensures proper care for those receiving infused medications at home or requiring emergency medical treatment services.
