It is noteworthy that during the study period there were 4 reports of deaths, a more severe form of adverse event. Conclusion: The study allowed the visualization of the importance of post-marketing vigilance of vascular catheters as well as providing an overview of their use, which may support technological technology actions and support public policies aimed at this product.
