Positioning the AV400

Hold the device from 4–12" (10 to 30 cm) 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 direct-

ly above the vein's center line. Don't move or tilt the device

to either side of the vein or this will offset the projected vein

from its true location beneath the skin. You can then often en-

hance display quality by slightly adjusting the height and an-

gle to the skin. In particular, moving the device closer or fur-

ther from the skin can help bring additional veins into view,

depending on the patient's vasculature, room lighting, and

depth of the veins.

WARNING: To view vein location accurately, you must

position the AV400 directly over the center of the vein being

assessed.

CAUTION: The AV400 projection may not display veins if op-

erated under bright light such as bright sunlight
