Positioning the AV500

Hold the device from 6–10" (150 to 250 mm) over the surface

of the skin. Scan the area of interest to view. Once a vein is

selected, make sure the vein display light is centered directly

above the vein' s center line. Tilting the device to either side

of the vein will offset the projected vein from its true loca-

tion beneath the skin. You can often enhance display quality

by slightly adjusting the height and angle to the skin. In

particular, moving the device closer or further from the skin

can help bring additional veins into view, depending on the

patient' s vasculature, room lighting, and depth of the veins.

To view vein location most accurately, you

must position the AV500 directly over the center of the vein

being assessed.

Vein projection width is most accurate when

the AV500 is positioned closest to the body.

operated under bright light such as bright sunlight

Basic use and operation

Assess the Vasculature

While the vein display light is on, shine the AV500 over the

patient's skin. You can do this before palpation, scanning

quickly over the skin to help narrow down possible locations,

or after palpation has confirmed vein location and suitability.

You can then often see veins better by rotating the AV500

slightly on its axis and moving the device closer to or further

away from the skin.

Confirm the Vein

After assessing the patient' s vasculature, confirm the site for

your procedure by verifying the location and suitability of the

vein using normal medical techniques and good medical

judgment, such as vein visualization, palpation, and other

medical techniques.

An AccuVein hands-free accessory allows you to keep your

hands free to perform medical procedures. You can also hand

the AV500 to an assistant during the procedure. The AV500

should be used only by qualified medical professionals and

only in conjunction with appropriate visual and tactile vein

assessment techniques.
