PICC Tip Calculator · Support

A measurement aid and malposition-prevention checklist for clinicians placing PICC lines.

Reference tool only, not a medical device. The app sums the surface measurements you take and offers an educational checklist. It does not replace clinical judgment, imaging, or your facility's protocol. Always confirm catheter tip position by chest x-ray, ECG-guided tip confirmation, or your facility's policy before use.

Getting started

Choose your units and insertion side, then enter the surface measurements as prompted to get an estimated insertion length. Work the malposition-prevention checklist as you go. Everything stays on your device.

Common questions

Does the app confirm placement? No. It only estimates a length from the measurements you enter. Tip position must be confirmed by imaging or your facility's protocol.

Should I enter patient information? No. The app does not need or store any patient-identifying data.

Is anything uploaded? No. There are no servers and no network calls; all calculations happen on your device.
