1 Intended Use CAUTION: US federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician or other qualified medical professional. CAUTION: For external use only. The AccuVein® AV300 is a portable, hand-held instrument that helps qualified medical professionals to locate certain peripheral veins. The AV300 is intended to be used only by qualified 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 tactile 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. Qualified medical personnel can observe the displayed vasculature to assist them in finding 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 displayed 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 displacement from directly overhead results in an offset 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 palpation to help identify the location of a vein, or afterwards to confirm or refute the perceived location of a vein. When using the AV300, qualified medical personnel should always follow the appropriate protocols and practices required by their medical facility. The AV300 requires no routine or preventative maintenance.

WARNING: Users should inspect the AV300 to ensure that it is sufficiently clean before each use. For more information see section on cleaning in this document.

The AV300 is portable, internally powered by battery, and approved for continuous operation. The AV300 is considered 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 off.

6 Using the AV300 CAUTION: Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician or other qualified medical pro-

fessional.

CAUTION: For external use only. Below is an overview of how to use the AV300 to locate and assess veins, followed by important details on properly positioning the device, and recommended techniques for optimizing vein display. Basic Steps Before using the AV300 on a subject, read all warnings and cautions at the beginning of this manual.

WARNING: The AV300 enables location of certain peripheral veins, and it is not a substitute for sound medical

judgment based on the visual and tactile location and assessment of veins. The AV300 should be used only as a supplement to the judgment of a qualified medical professional.

WARNING: The AV300 should only be operated when its battery is sufficiently charged (indicated when the battery icon at the upper right of the LCD screen shows a bar), or when the device is operated in a powered hands-free stand to ensure AV300 is available for use. WARNING: Do not shine vein display light in eyes. CAUTION: The AV300 vein display light comes from two low-power lasers, a red laser at 642 nm and an IR laser at 785 nm. For subjects with ordinary blink reflexes, these Class 2 lasers are safe because the blink reflex limits exposure and prevents eye damage. However, there is a possibility that eyes of subjects with reduced blink reflexes can be damaged by staring directly into the AV300 light. CAUTION: Blink reflexes can be inhibited or reduced by disease, drugs, or other medical conditions. For subjects

who might have inhibited or reduced blink reflexes, AccuVein recommends outfitting the subject with a protective eye shield. A protective eye shield capable of blocking 642 nm and 785 nm should be used. A commercially available, laser-safe eye shield that’s suitable for eye protection is the “Glendale Laser-Aid Eye Shield.” Glendale™ and Laser-Aid® are trademarks of their respective owners. 1. Power On the AV300 by pressing the rightmost circular Power button beneath the LCD screen. This turns on the device but does not activate the vein display light. 2. To begin locating and assessing veins, turn the vein display light on by pressing the Blue side button.

Tip: As a convenience, you can power on the AV300 and activate the vein display light at the same time by pressing the Blue side button to power on the device, instead of the circular Power button. 3. Position the AV300 so the vein display light illuminates your subject’s skin.

WARNING: To ensure accurate vein display, the AV300 must be positioned at a proper height, angle, and centering over the vein to be assessed, as described in the positioning instructions, below.

4. The AV300 has several settings that can optimize vein display for particular patients and procedures. While the vein display light is on and the device is properly positioned over the subject’s skin, lightly tap the Blue side button to cycle through each setting and find the one that best locates your subject’s veins. For details, see Vein Display Settings on page 8. 5. To halt vein display, press the Blue side button for 1/2 (one-half) second to turn the vein display light off (this leaves the LCD screen on for performing menu functions). Pressing the Left LCD button accomplishes the same thing. Or press and hold the Blue side button for 2 seconds to turn the entire device off.

When not being used, the Av300 should be stored in its charging cradle or optional powered hands-free stand. This protects the Av300 and ensures that the battery is always charged and ready for use. If you have any questions about the use of the Av300, please contact our Technical support Team at (816) 997-9400. Our hours of service are monday through Friday 8 am to 8 pm Us Central time. Positioning the AV300

WARNING: To view vein location accurately, you must position the Av300 at the proper height and angle, and directly over the center of the vein being assessed.

For accurate vein presentation, the Av300 must be positioned at a proper height, angle, and centering over the vein being located. Once the device is properly positioned, you can vary aspects of its position slightly to enhance vein presentation. However, for accurate vein presentation, the device must be positioned as follows: •

Height: Approximately 7 inches from the bottom of the device to the surface of the skin

•

Angle: At a right angle (perpendicular) to vein direction

•

Centering: Centered directly over the vein being located

Height Position the Av300 about 7 inches (180 mm) directly above the vein to be located, and at a right angle (perpendicular) to the direction of the veins. The Av300’s vein display quality can then often be improved by slightly increasing or decreasing the height.

WARNING: Depending on the distance the Av300 is held from the subject’s skin the vein may appear slightly wider or narrower than the actual vein.

UM-English-DVD.indd 5

|

Av300 User mAnUAl

Angle The Av300 should be positioned at an approximate 90° right angle (perpendicular) to the direction the vein flows or is expected to flow. You can then often improve display quality by changing this angle slightly. To assess a new vein location, always return the device to a 90° right angle to start.

Centering The Av300’s vein display light should be centered directly above the centerline of the vein to be located. To present the center of the vein accurately, Accuvein recommends positioning the Av300 directly over the vein. When the Av300 is positioned properly, vein display is accurate and can be viewed from any angle. When held directly over the centerline of the vein the Av300 locates the center of a vein extremely accurately. Accuvein recommends that the Av300 be held within 1/2” (1.25 cm) of either side of directly overhead.

The Av300 vein display is always in focus, so you can quickly move the device across a subject’s skin to search for a vein. As you evaluate and assess a vein that has been located, it is important to center the Av300 over the vein and not rotate the device to either side.

Techniques and Recommendations Become familiar with proper use: Before using the AV300 on a subject, the experienced medical practitioner should become familiar with how to properly position the AV300 to best detect veins. Do so by following the instructions in this manual and using the practice card included with the device. Also, before first use, AccuVein recommends comparing how the AV300 detects veins, by using a visible vein as a reference or a vein assessed by palpation. Note that when using an AV300, the position of veins and branches can be assessed and you can also observe where veins do not appear. Optimize vein display: Once the AV300 is properly positioned over the vein to be located, you can often enhance the quality of vein display by rotating the AV300 slightly on its axis, moving the device closer or farther from the skin, and changing the vein display settings. Note that the same setting might present veins differently on different people. It’s therefore important to become familiar with selecting the best setting for each type of patient and procedure. For details, see Vein Display Settings on page 8. Target the center of the vein: When properly positioned, the AV300 accurately displays the center of the vein. Some vein display settings might make a vein appear wider than it actually is. However, even if the displayed vein width is enlarged, when the AV300 is operated properly, the center of the displayed vein matches the center of the actual vein.

Av300 User manual

Do not hold the AV300 during a manual procedure: Once the desired vein and location are selected, an assistant should hold the device so both of the practitioner’s hands remain free to perform the venipuncture procedure. The AV300 can also be used in an optional hands-free stand. Adjust room lighting if necessary: Changing room lighting may help the user better see the vein display.

WARNING: Do not hold the AV300 while performing venipuncture or other medical procedure. WARNING: The AV300 only shows peripheral veins. WARNING: Certain subject’s veins or a portion of their veins might not be displayed well or at all. Causes for veins to not be displayed include veins deeper than about 7mm, skin conditions, hair, highly contoured skin surface, and adipose (fatty) tissue. WARNING: The AV300 does not indicate vein depth underneath the skin, which can vary from patient to patient. The AV300 operator should therefore rely on their training and experience to identify vein depth and evaluate other information provided by the AV300. Vein Display Settings Because individuals and their veins vary, the AV300 provides multiple vein display settings that can optimize how veins are displayed on different people or for different procedures. While locating and assessing a vein, you can cycle through the different settings to quickly find one that works best to locate and view your subject’s veins. The same setting might present veins differently on different people, so it’s important to become familiar with selecting the best setting for each type of patient and procedure. To select a vein display setting: 1. Turn the vein display light On by pressing the Blue side button. This initially selects the default vein display setting, which is shown on the LCD screen. To have the AV300 initially select a different setting, you can change the default as described on page 14. 2. Position the AV300 over the vein to be assessed. Then while the vein display light is On, lightly tap the Blue side button to step through each setting. NOTE: You can also select vein display settings using the LCD screen. While the vein display light is On, the screen displays the current setting. To select another setting, press the Middle LCD button to cycle through the available settings.

WARNING: Some vein display settings might make a vein appear wider than it actually is.

Changing the Power Supply Plug The AV300 power supply (PS310) has been designed for the international market and comes with a family of plugs that should fit the electrical systems in most countries. Initially, the power supply is equipped with the North American plug. Before using the AV300 elsewhere, be sure to insert the proper plug for your location.

To remove the current plug: Press and hold the button on the face of the plug. While still pressing the button, rotate the plug to the left (counterclockwise) to remove it. To insert another plug: Select the appropriate power plug for your location. Then place it into position and rotate it to the right (clockwise). A faint click can be heard when the plug properly seats into place.

Av300 User mAnUAl

8 Using a Hands-Free stand To keep both hands free while performing a medical procedure, without having an assistant hold the device for you, you can use a hands-free stand. Accuvein optionally provides both a powered and unpowered stand that each allow the user to properly position the Av300 and locate the subject’s veins, without having to hold the device. The Av300 operates the same in a hands-free stand as when held by hand. nOe: Hands-free stands are available from the Accuvein Web site. Also check the site for additional hands-free options that may be made available. • Powered Hands-Free Stand (HF300): Powers the Av300, and if a battery is installed, charges the battery. • Unpowered Hands-Free Stand (HF320 / HF350): The Av300 runs solely on battery power and must be charged in its charging cradle, the same as when using the device without a hands-free stand. To use a hands-free stand, first attach its clamp or screw-mount stud in a desired location, such as the rail of a bed, edge of a table, or chair arm. Once securely mounted, snap the hands-free coupler onto the stud and press the black ring down to lock. (see instructions that came with stand for more details.) The arm should now swivel freely. HF300 Only: Plug power supply into power outlet and plug cord jacks together. Attaching the AV300 To install the Av300 in the hands-free stand, rotate the device so its base end (with the metal battery connectors) is facing the connector, with the Av300 lCD screen pointing up. ease the device into the stand’s cup so the clips snap into the recesses on the side of the Av300. When the clips are properly attached, you will hear a click when they engage with the Av300, which should then be held firmly in place. HF300 Only: Follow the instructions that came in the HF300 kit box for attaching the Av300 permanently to the hands-free stand with a screw (supplied with kit). When the Av300 is placed into a powered stand, a tone sounds and the battery indicator changes to a plug, indicating that the Av300 does not require battery power. During this time, the Av300’s battery is also being charged.

When placed in the unpowered stand, the battery indicator shows how much battery life is left, just as when you use the Av300 as a hand-held device.
