Venipuncture – a universal need
Venipuncture – the puncture of a vein as part
What? of a medical procedure, typically to withdraw a blood
sample or for an intravenous injection

Most common invasive medical procedure. Every day

How
in the U.S. there are, on average, approximately 2.7
often? million1 attempts to access a vein

Diagnostic tests, including blood tests,

inform 70%2 of medical decisions
Why?
Intravenous (IV) lines are placed in approximately 90%3
of hospital patients

There is a universal need for venipuncture

Venipuncture – a key challenge

 Gaining venous access relies mainly on a healthcare professional’s

ability to palpate (touch and feel) the veins underneath the skin
 Failed venipuncture has many causes, many of which relate to the
ability to clearly locate veins under the skins surface
− E.g. age, obesity and skin colour
 Such factors contribute to failure rates in venipuncture

Causes of failed venipuncture

Need

Vein visualization – the standard of care

 Vein visualization has been recognized

by the Infusion Nurses Society (INS), a
leading U.S. advisory body, which
incorporated it into their 2016 Infusion
Therapy Standards of Practice
 Several leading U.S. hospitals are
including vein visualization technology
in their venipuncture protocols and
standard operating procedures
“Vascular visualization technology is employed
 We believe that the INS 2016 to increase the success with peripheral
Standards of Practice and growing cannulation”
hospital adoption rates indicate that
vein visualization is set to become the “Vascular visualization technology is used in
‘standard of care’ in U.S. hospitals patients with difficult venous access and/or
and other high level hospitals in other after failed venipuncture attempts”
countries.

Vein Illuminator

IR Signal Rcv
Image Processor

IR Signal Sent Project on the skin

• Vein illuminator projects near-infrared (no radioation) light which is absorbed by blood and reflected by
surrounding tissue
• This information is captured and processed by the device.
• Finally the shape the and position will be projected in real time directly onto the surface of the skin.

Safety Precautions
• High-frequency surgical equipment, mobile phones, wireless devices,
and defibrillators may cause interference on the vein illuminator.
Therefore, keep the vein illuminator away from these devices when
using the vein illuminator.
• To avoid the risk of electric shock, connect the vein illuminator to only
the power supply system with protective earth. In case that the
power supply system does not have protective earth, disconnect the
power cable of the vein illuminator from the power supply system
and use the built-in battery to power the vein illuminator.
Safety Precautions
•  The vein illuminator does not have a patient connection circuit. Prevent the
patient from touching the vein illuminator.
• This vein illuminator can only identify veins, and it cannot effectively
evaluate arteries.
• Do not use this product as diagnostic equipment or for any treatment
purposes.
• This product is a class I continuous-operation device without waterproof
protection design. Do not splash or drip any liquid onto or into the device,
and do not immerse any part of the main unit in liquid. If any liquid splashes
into the product during charging or operation of the product, immediately
power off the product and stop using it.
Safety Precautions
• This product has a removable battery inside. Operate, store, and
transport this product in strict accordance with the operation manual. Do
not use the product in flammable and explosive environment.
• Do not apply this product on the skin with scar, tattoo, skin disease, or
lots of hairs because they may interfere with the imaging of the product.
• This product must only be used for assisting medical personnel in vein
locating or for training and teaching medical personnel how to use it. This
product is not the sole method of vein locating and cannot completely
substitute other vein locating methods that are based on reliable medical
judgments or sight and touch judgments.
Safety Precautions
• If the vein illuminator falls to the ground or it is affected by an
external force, stop using vein illuminator even if it appears normal.
Contact your local distributor and have an inspection performed to
judge whether the vein illuminator is operating properly.
• Do not service or maintain the vein illuminator or its accessory when
it is being used on a patient.
• Do not touch the display screen by using sharp objects. Otherwise,
the display screen may get damaged.
 Checking the Device Accuracy
• Since the vein illuminator is a precise device, before
powering on it for the first time or after transporting it,
the operator must check the accuracy of the device
using an accuracy test card.
• Place the accuracy test card in the projection area of
the device, and check the positional deviation of the
projection image and test card image at the optimal
focus position (the projection hole is 210±30mm away
from the test card). If the deviation is smaller than
1mm, the device can be used properly. If the deviation
is larger than 1mm, stop using the device and contact
the local distributor or the after-sales service
department of MEDCAPTAIN immediately.

b. There are 7 modes: basic mode, green light mode, red light mode, blue light mode, light purple mode,
depth mode, and inverse color mode.
Depth Mode

In depth mode, align the long side of the red cross in the middle of the projection with the vein to be detected. Then,
you can observe that the green indicator is illuminated to indicate the vein depth information.
Inverse Mode
Suitable for different colors of skin

a. In any mode except depth mode, a user can press and hold the mode button and then release to switch to the
inverse color mode of the current mode. In inverse color mode, the vein color and skin color in the projection
image are inversed.
