AccuVein® Vein Visualization System​

AccuVein’s near-infrared (NIR) technology enables healthcare professionals to visualize the superficial vasculature in order to identify veins for optimal peripheral venous access or avoiding veins during aesthetic procedures.

A Simple, Safe Solution

With more than 90% of patients undergoing IV therapy at some point during a hospital stay, AccuVein is a simple, safe solution that can increase vein assessment proficiency, help avoid patient IV complications, and address clinical and operational priorities.

Clinicians can see veins, valves, and bifurcations not visible to the naked eye, leading to better-informed site assessment decisions, improved needle/catheter placement, and enhanced patient care. ​

Meet the Game Changing Technology

The AccuVein AV500 is a near-infrared vein visualization device using a low power, Class 1 laser to display a real time image of veins on to the surface of the skin through a bright green image projection.

With the patented True Center™ technology, AccuVein is the first and only vein visualization device that is permanently aligned and does not require calibration, allowing clinicians to accurately view the center-line of the vein.

​The AV500 has three brightness settings and an inverse color mode display, to allow the user/clinician to customize the image to their environment.​

​At only 10 ounces (283g), the device is lightweight and handheld. It easily converts to hands-free with the use of an optional mobile, powered stand or a pole mount fixture.​

Features and Benefits

AV500 Features and Benefits

Supports PIV Best Practice

Imaging veins and blood patterns pre, during and post procedure ensures proper site selection, aids in successful catheter insertion and may help identify hematomas, infiltration or post-flush vein refill.

Fast, Precise Scanning

The high speed near-infrared (NIR) laser technology allows for crisp image processing and quick scanning. Rapid image refresh rates result in no lag or image distortion; accommodates patient movement.

True Center™ Accuracy

The True Center™ technology allows clinicians to accurately view the center-line of the vein regardless of the distance. Unlike other vein visualization devices, the AV500 is permanently aligned and there is no need for device calibration prior to use.

Always in Focus

An accurate, in-focus image to scale is projected when the device is positioned 6-10 inches (15 -25 cm) above the patient’s skin surface.

Enhanced Site Selection

Using the AccuVein™ AV500 allows clinicians to visualize veins, bifurcations, valves, blood refill, and related blood patterns up to 10mm below the surface of the skin. Otherwise, not seen by the naked eye or through palpation.

Works with All Skin Tones

The AccuVein™ AV500 provides a clear, uniform vein image for all skin tones and has variable brightness settings to accommodate all light conditions.

Uniquely Easy to Use

With a one button instant on and a sleek, ergonomic design, the AV500 is the leading vein visualization device on the market. It is permanently aligned and in-focus when positioned 6-10 inches (15 -25 cm) above the patient’s skin surface.

Handheld to Hands-free

The device is lightweight and ergonomic; weighing only 10 oz (283 grams) and easy to hold in one hand for an initial scan.
Quickly convert to handsfree by inserting the AV500 into either the AccuVein™ HF510 Portable Arm Mount or HF580 Powered Wheeled Stand.

Class 1 Laser Rating

The device is eye-safe to use under all conditions with no special precautions required.

Simple to Clean

The sealed housing design contains no fans or vents! Just simply wipe down the device using isopropyl alcohol or hospital wipes (see IFU for approved cleaners).

Near-infrared (NIR) vein visualization is emerging as the standard of care.
