CSITE (Catheter Insertion Site)unmatched386144009 (Line insertion site)14766002 (Removal by suction)119295008 (Specimen obtained by aspiration)Prefer to have aspirate of the pus oozing out from cleaned insertion site - if swab is all that can be obtained, then swab after cleaning, otherwise you may get a contaminated specimen and a falsely identified infected central line. Do not just swab the reddened area - that will just collect skin flora
