DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Description
The Veinlite®LED+ is a hand-held battery powered transillumination device for visualizing
veins and supercial blood vessels. Veinlite utilizes the patented* transillumination technique
known as side-transillumination, which uniformly illuminates a small region of skin and
subcutaneous tissue without any shadow areas. The shadow-free side-transillumination
technique allows better visualization of veins than any other transillumination method.
The LEDs emit light with the optimal wavelength for highlighting the contrast between
the venous blood vessels and surrounding tissue.

Using the Disposable Plastic Cover
The single-use disposable plastic covers (Product #VLED+DPC) for the Veinlite LED+
MUST be used when the device is placed in contact with a patient’s skin.
CAUTION: These plastic covers are not sterile. They should be wiped with a germicidal
wipe prior to use.
• Before using Veinlite LED+, place it inside the disposable cover with the ap
on the same side as the LEDs.
• Pull the ap over the device to the other side.
• Wipe the LED side of the Veinlite LED+ and any part of it coming in contact
with the patient, with a medically approved germicidal wipe.
Precautions
• Avoid using alcohol on the clear plastic window as this may cause fogging.
• Do not immerse the device in liquid.
• Do not autoclave the device.
Scan Direction
a
b
Access Vein
To scan for veins, place device
against skin perpendicular to vein
direction. Scan it forward and
backward. Veins will be visible as
dark lines due to transillumination.
Once a suitable vein has been
identied, rotate device 90˚,
parallel to vein.
Apply gentle pressure on the
Veinlite LED+ to secure the vein.
Push back slightly on the Veinlite
LED+ to stretch the skin and
provide traction.
Insert the needle into the vein,
through the opening of the device.
NOTE: Discard the single-use disposable
plastic cover after each patient.
