VIII AV300 USER MANUAL

AV300 USER MANUAL | 1
1 Intended Use
CAUTION: US federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician or other
qualied medical professional.
CAUTION: For external use only.
The AccuVein® AV300 is a portable, hand-held instrument that helps qualied medical profes-
sionals to locate certain peripheral veins. The AV300 is intended to be used only by qualied
medical personnel and as a supplement to appropriate medical training and experience. The AV300 should not be
used as the sole vein location method, and it is not a substitute for sound medical judgment and the visual and tac-
tile location and assessment of veins.
When used properly, the AV300 accurately locates the vein and is therefore suitable for locating peripheral veins in
connection with medical procedures such as venipuncture.
The AV300 can be used whenever peripheral vein location is appropriate.
2 Product Description
The AV300 operates by using infrared light to detect veins beneath the skin, then illuminating the position of the
veins on the skin surface directly above the veins. Qualied medical personnel can observe the displayed vascula-
ture to assist them in nding a vein of the right size and position for venipuncture.
The AV300 only shows peripheral veins. The maximum depth that veins are displayed varies by subject. In addition,
certain subject’s veins or a portion of their veins might not be displayed well or at all. Causes for veins to not be dis-
played include vein depth, skin conditions (e.g., eczema, tattoos), hair, highly contoured skin surface, and adipose
(fatty) tissue.
Veins are shown because the hemoglobin in blood preferentially absorbs IR light. Because of this, the vasculature
that is displayed represents the contents of the veins and not the entire vein.
When held directly overhead, the AV300 locates the center of a vein with extreme accuracy. Increasing the displace-
ment from directly overhead results in an oset in the displayed vein position.
WARNING: AV300 vein location is dependent on a variety of patient factors and may not display veins on patients
with deep veins, skin conditions, hair, scarring or other highly contoured skin surface, and adipose (fatty) tissue.
The AV300 is not intended to be used as the sole method for locating veins, but should be used either prior to pal-
pation to help identify the location of a vein, or afterwards to conrm or refute the perceived location of a vein.
When using the AV300, qualied medical personnel should always follow the appropriate protocols and practices re-
quired by their medical facility.
The AV300 requires no routine or preventative maintenance.
WARNING: Users should inspect the AV300 to ensure that it is suciently clean before each use. For more informa-
tion see section on cleaning in this document.
The AV300 is portable, internally powered by battery, and approved for continuous operation. The AV300 is consid-
ered a Type B applied part and is not protected from ingress of water.
WARNING: Do not immerse the AV300, the AV300 charging cradle, or the AV300 hands-free stand in liquid or get
the AV300 or its components so wet that liquid spills o.

4 Unpacking the Box
The AV300 Vein Viewing System kit contains everything you need to begin using the device right away. This includes
the AV300 and rechargeable battery; a CC300 table-top charging cradle and power supply with international adapt-
ers; a literature package with the AV300 Operating Guide, DVD, and practice card; and a USB cable for performing
software upgrades and conguring the AV300 from a PC. Follow the steps below to unpack the box.
3 Steps to Unpack Box:
1. Grip the two tabs with the arrows and pull the top retainer out of the box. Fold the aps as shown below and
slide the AV300 out from under the clear plastic lm. NOTE: Do not use scissors to cut the lm.
