Veinlite PEDI User manual

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Description
The TransLite Veinlite PEDI is a hand-held
battery powered transillumination device for
visualizing veins and supercial blood vessels
in neonates (0-24 mo). It utilizes the patented*
transillumination technique known
as side-transillumination, which enables the
Veinlite PEDI to uniformly illuminate a small
region of skin and subcutaneous tissue,
anywhere on the body, without any areas of
shadow. The shadow-free side-transillumination
technique allows better visualization of veins
than any other transillumination method.

VEINLITE PEDI
Intended Use/Indications
• Examining the skin
surface, nding
veins and assisting
in vein access
in neonates and
newborns
• Easier visualization of veins in dark
skinned patients
Contraindications
• When used for internal examination
• When used without the disposable
plastic cover

OPERATION
• Place the Veinlite PEDI against the patient’s skin
with the LED side in direct contact with the skin
perpendicular to vein direction. Apply gentle
pressure to maintain optimal skin contact.
• To turn on the LEDs, press the orange and/or the
red button located on the left and right side of the
device. Press the selected button(s) a second time
to turn the LEDs o.
• Press the orange button if you are examining small
supercial veins on fair skin.
• Press the red button to add the red color for
examining deeper veins or if the patient’s skin is darkly
pigmented.
USING THE DISPOSABLE
PLASTIC COVER
The single-use disposable plastic covers (Product
#VPED-DPC) for the Veinlite PEDI MUST be used
when the devise 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 PEDI, 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 PEDI 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
WARNING
DO NOT SHINE THE LED LIGHTS
IN THE PATIENT’S EYES.
1To 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.
Access Vein
2Once a suitable vein has been identied,
rotate device 90˚, parallel to vein.
4Insert the needle into the vein, through the
opening of the device. NOTE: Discard the
single-use disposable plastic cover after
each patient.
