need info re: end cap changes

I'm new to this forum, an educator at a community hospital in Louisville, KY.

I'm looking for EBP to support how often we should be changing the end caps / claves on PIVs, PICCs, TLCs, etc.

Does anyone have any info? What are your P&Ps? What are you using as far as research support?

I have tried searching this site, ONS, and INS without success.

The evidence you seek is

The evidence you seek is found in the Infusion Nursing Standards of Practice - you must purchase the book as the content is not on their website. Also you will need to see the CDC Guidelines for Prevention of Intravasacular  Device related Infections which is available at www.cdc.gov.
