Abstract: Imaging systems and methods for integrated vascular access device indwell assessment and data integration are provided. Such imaging systems and methods can be used to better assess and monitor the status of an indwelling integrated vascular access device and the overall viability of the vascular access in the acute care and alternate site setting and to reduce the patient complications and experience, clinician burden, and overall effectiveness of the patient's treatment and care. Such imaging systems and methods can also facilitate the use of imaging devices, such as ultrasound devices, to assess the current state of an indwelling vascular access device and compare it to a prior state or established clinical standard. This may facilitate predictive detection, identification, and/or diagnosis of an emerging risk of a catheter related complication or detection of an actual complication intermittently and consistently.

Abstract: A vascular access instrument configured to insert through a vascular access device. The vascular access instrument may include a wire, which may include a proximal end and a distal end opposite the proximal end. The distal end may include a bent shape, which may facilitate removal of a thrombus. The bent shape may include a looped portion. The bent shape may include a S-shaped portion proximate a U-shaped portion. The bent shape may include a spiral. The instrument advancement device may be configured to advance the vascular access instrument from a retracted position within a catheter assembly to an advanced position beyond a distal end of the catheter. The vascular access instrument may include an intraluminal layer, which may bend from an inner portion of the catheter to an outer surface of the catheter around an edge of the catheter forming a distal opening of the catheter.
