V800 Projection Vein Finder

The V800 series projection vein finders from Vivolight provide real-time visualization of subcutaneous veins to assist healthcare professionals with venipuncture procedures. Using near-infrared light technology, these devices project vein patterns directly onto the patient’s skin surface.

Product Overview

Peripheral intravenous catheter insertion remains one of the most common clinical procedures, yet failed first attempts occur frequently in patients with difficult venous access. The V800 series addresses this challenge by revealing vein locations that may be invisible or difficult to palpate.

The system captures near-infrared light absorbed by hemoglobin in blood vessels and processes this information to generate a real-time vein map projected onto the skin. Healthcare providers can identify optimal puncture sites without relying solely on visual inspection or tactile feedback.

Key Features

V800’s near-infrared projection maps subcutaneous veins directly onto the patient’s skin in real-time, giving clinicians continuous visual guidance without touching the patient.

• Real-time projection: Continuous vein imaging displayed directly on the skin surface
• Non-contact operation: No physical contact with patient required during scanning
• Portable design: Lightweight handheld configuration for bedside use
• Radiation-free: Safe for repeated use without exposure concerns
• Multiple mounting options: Handheld or fixed-mount configurations available

Technical Specifications

CE-certified and NMPA-approved, the V800 series offers portable handheld and fixed-mount configurations with adjustable working distance for bedside venipuncture assistance.

Clinical Applications

The V800 series serves multiple clinical scenarios where venous access presents challenges:

Pediatric Care: Small veins and patient movement make pediatric IV insertion particularly difficult. The projected vein image helps identify suitable vessels in children.

Geriatric Patients: Age-related vein changes, dehydration, and fragile vessels benefit from visual guidance.

Oncology: Patients receiving chemotherapy often develop damaged or hardened veins from repeated infusions.

Emergency Medicine: Time-critical situations where rapid vascular access is essential.

Aesthetic Medicine: Practitioners performing facial injections use vein visualization to avoid accidental vessel puncture and post-procedure bruising.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the V800 vein finder work?

The device emits near-infrared light that penetrates the skin. Hemoglobin in blood absorbs this light differently than surrounding tissue, creating contrast that the device captures and processes. The resulting vein pattern is projected back onto the skin in real-time.

Can the V800 be used on all skin tones?

Near-infrared technology works across different skin pigmentation levels, though optimal settings may vary. The device includes adjustable brightness settings to accommodate various skin tones and lighting conditions.

Does using a vein finder improve IV success rates?

Clinical studies on near-infrared vein visualization devices have demonstrated improved first-attempt success rates, particularly in patients with difficult venous access. The American Vascular Association recommends vein visualization technologies as a first-line approach for PIVC insertion.
