Intended Use
The AccuVein® AV400 is a portable, hand-held instrument that
helps medical professionals to locate certain superficial veins.
The AV400 is intended to be used as a supplement to appro-
priate medical training and experience. The AV400 should not
be used as the sole method for locating veins, and should be
used only by a qualified medical professional, who should do
so either prior to palpation to help identify the location of a
vein, or afterwards to confirm or refute the perceived location
of a vein. When using the AV400, medical practitioners should
always follow the appropriate medical protocols and practic-
es as required by their medical facility, as well as exercising
sound medical judgment.
When used properly, the AV400 enables users to locate cer-
tain superficial veins in connection with medical procedures,
such as venipuncture.
The AV400 can be used whenever the determination of vein
location is appropriate.
