CVC = central vascular catheter, PVC = peripheral vascular catheter

central vascular catheter colonisation should not be reported. A CRI3 (-CVC or -PVC) is also a bloodstream infection with source C-CVC or C-PVC respectively; however when a CRI3 is reported, the BSI should not be reported in the point prevalence survey; microbiologically confirmed catheter-related BSI should be reported as CRI3.
