1. Vein Finder Overview
1.1
Intended Use
The
VeinSight
TM
vein finder is a portable instrument to help medical
professionals to locate certain superficial veins.
The
VeinSight
TM
vein finder should not be used as the sole method for
locating veins, and should be used by a qualified medical professional.
When using the
VeinSight
TM
vein finder, medical practitioners should
always follow the appropriate medical protocols and practices which
are required by their medical facility, to exercise sound medical
judgment.
The
VeinSight
TM
vein finder can be used in the situation that the
determination of vein location is necessary. When used properly, the
VeinSight
TM
vein finder enables users to locate certain superficial
veins in connection with medical procedures, such as venipuncture.
1.2
Product Descriptions
The
VeinSight
TM
vein finder detects veins beneath the skin by using
infrared light, then projecting the image of the veins on the skin surface
directly above the veins.
Qualified medical personnel can observe the displayed vasculature to
find a vein of the right size and the location of superficial veins for
venipuncture and other medical procedures.
The
VeinSight
TM
vein finder only shows superficial vasculature. The
maximum depth of displayed veins varies by patients.
The causes for the different depths of display that are less than optimal
or lack of vein include, but are not limited to, vein depth, skin conditions
(e.g. eczema, tattoos), hair, scarring or other highly contoured skin
surface, and adipose (fatty) tissue.
When held directly overhead, the
VeinSight
TM
vein finder accurately
locates the center of a vein.
