IIVD

For some reason at my hospital when an IV is locked we say it's IIVD. I never really thought about this but what the heck does it mean? Is there a different term I should use?

    Well, I have never heard of that but I would guess the last three initials are IntraVascular Device. So....if the first letter is also an I, maybe Inactive or Intermittent? We always called them saline locks, so if the first letter was an L I would think Locked. I am also eager to know the answer.
