Note: An AccuVein device that is ineligible for warranty service may be eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service.

If you own an AV300 or AV400 that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, AccuVein will service your device for the OOW Service fee. Please contact our support help line for details and pricing.

AccuVein reserves the right to determine whether or not your device is eligible for OOW service. Devices that are repaired or replaced under OOW service have a 90-day limited hardware warranty or assumes the remainder of your warranty or service agreement, whichever is longer.

How do I avoid the expense of drop or liquid damage?

Physical damage: AccuVein devices meet or exceed international industry standards for shock tolerance, but it is still possible to damage the internal or external components of the unit through excess physical shock or repeated physical shock.  Based on our experience, some of the common causes of physical damage are lack of care while inserting the unit in and removing the unit from the hands free arm, and the placement of the unit on the patient’s bed or other uneven surfaces.

Fluid: NEVER SUBMERGE THE DEVICE IN LIQUID. When cleaning the device a damp cloth or wipe should be used – not a wet cloth or wipe.  Too much fluid during cleaning is a leading cause of fluid damage. The cloth is too wet if liquid beads up or drips off the surface of the equipment. As a reminder, the projection window on the underside of the device must be cleaned with a non-residue producing cleaner such as an alcohol swab. Visit our cleaning page for more information.
