VeinViewer


VeinViewer:superior light based technology




VeinViewer® Flex is a highly portable vascular access imaging device that can help you find the optimal venipuncture site and avoid potential complications.
​​With HD imaging and Df² technology, this small VeinViewer model is the brightest and only handheld vein illuminator that provides benefits for all patients during the entire Pre-, During- and Post- vascular access procedure. It is ideal for alternate care facilities, such as surgery and blood/plasma centers, as well as home healthcare and Emergency Medical Services (EMS), VeinViewer Flex is designed for durability and maximum portability. Flex is also suited for hospital departments such as the Emergency Department and NICU where space requirements and speed of assessment demand an ultra-portable and reliable vein finder.


How Does It Work?


With HD imaging and exclusive Df2 (digital full field) technology, VeinViewer is the only vein illuminator that provides benefits for all patients during the entire Pre, During and Post vascular access procedure.




Projected near-infrared light is absorbed by blood and reflected by surrounding tissue. The information is captured, processed and projected digitally in real time directly onto the surface of the skin. It provides a real time accurate image of the patient's blood pattern.

VeinViewer patented technology, using AVIN™ (Active Vascular Imaging Navigation), allows you to see blood patterns up to 15mm deep and clinically relevant veins up to 10mm. With VeinViewer clinicians can see peripheral veins, bifurcations and valves and assess in real time the refill/flushing of veins. With visualization Pre-, During- and Post-procedure, clinicians can potentially avoid complications from accidental puncture. Improving the total vascular access procedure, not just the stick.

VeinViewer does more than just locate veins.


Locating veins is only the first step to a successful venipuncture procedure. With HD imaging and Df2 (Digital Full Field) technology, VeinViewer® is the only vein finder that can help you improve the total patient experience by reducing the number of sticks, potentially improving intravenous catheter dwell times and avoiding associated complications. ​Use our ROI calculator​ to figure out the potential cost savings associated with V​einViewer technology.

VeinViewer has been proven to:

  • ​Increase first stick success by up to 100%
  • Decrease medically unnecessary PICC lines by greater than 30%
  • Increase patient satisfaction by 100%

VeinViewer delivers valuable information for the entire vascular access procedure and should be used to help assess the patient Pre-, During- and Post-access. Everyone from the novice to the experienced clinician can benefit from VeinViewer.

Pre-access: The most obvious vein is not always the best option for access. VeinViewer provides clinicians with assessment information to make a more informed decision.
  • Locate veins that are clinically relevant to a peripheral procedure, up to 10mm deep for PIV and up to 15mm for blood pattern assessment.
  • Use the VeinViewer image with TrueView accuracy to make a more informed decision in catheter gauge selection.
  • Determine the location of valves and bifurcations and avoid these problematic structures.
  • Find the optimal access point and vessel target that is sufficient for the length of the catheter.
  • Assess blood refill rate with real-time visual feedback prior to IV placement and during review of the site.
During-access: Unpredictable factors can make advancing the catheter a challenge and could require you to start the procedure over . Real-time Df² imaging, exclusive to VeinViewer, allows you to immediately react and adjust your technique to help ensure a successful outcome.
  • Navigate curves in the vessel.
  • Visualize a rolling vein.
  • Confirm a patent IV by visualizing the flush of IV fluids to determine if the catheter is flowing properly.
Post-access: Assessing the patency of the vessel with VeinViewer after catheter placement can help avoid potential complications and improve the patient experience.
  • Detect a hematoma from an accidental puncture as it forms and potentially avoid an infiltration.
  • Confirming a successful peripheral IV placement may help avoid medically unnecessary central lines such as PICC or CVC.

Features

​ASSESS Imaging Suite


VeinViewer Flex comes standard with our Universal imaging mode and is customizable to the full ASSESS™ Imaging Suite through optional upgrades:
UniversalA benefit for all your patients.  The brightest and most accurate direct-projection, baseline mode available. Ideal for minimizing surface structures such as hair and wrinkles.
Fine detailEnhances finer structures, ideal for identifying small veins in pediatric or sclerotherapy patients.
InverseAllows you to switch colors within the image window. This unique feature assists clinicians in customizing the projected image based on factors such as skin tone, density of hair follicles and room brightness.
ResizeAllows you to choose one of three window sizes, a valuable feature for pediatric patients or when you need to focus on only one vessel.
​Image Capture​Allows the user to take and store up to 200 static images of patient vasculature on the device and transfer them to a PC for integration to HIS/RIS/PACS. No patient data is captured; HIPAA compliant. Excellent for documentation of vascular access site pre and post access, for setting expectations with aesthetics patients, and demonstrating outcomes.
MaxBrightIncreases our market leading image brightness by another 40% for scenarios where greater than standard ambient lighting.
