AccuVein Awarded Top Prize in Prestigious Medical Product Design Competition
New York, NY, June 10, 2010 – AccuVein has been named a “gold winner” for the outstanding product design of its AV300 vein-illumination device at the annual Medical Design Excellence Awards (MDEA) presentation ceremony held at the Medical Design & Manufacturing East Conference at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City.
Gold is the highest award from MDEA, the only awards program focused exclusively on recognizing breakthrough design work for medical products. A comprehensive review was performed by an impartial, multidisciplinary panel of third-party jurors with expertise in biomedical engineering, human factors, industrial design, medicine, and diagnostics.
The AccuVein AV300 helps healthcare professionals locate veins for blood draw, IV infusion and blood donation by projecting a pattern of light on patient’s skin that reveals the position of underlying veins. This 10-ounce, hand-held device is available with a range of hands-free options so that it can quickly free the practitioner’s hands to perform the venipuncture.
“Hospitals are adopting vein visualization as the standard-of-care for venipuncture as a tool to reduce error, reduce cost and increase patient satisfaction.” said AccuVein marketing vice president Vinny Luciano. “Winning this top prize validates their selection of the AV300 as the vein visualization tool of choice.”
