How does a Veinfinder work?
The device works by using proprietary vein visualization technology that shines an infrared light on the patients’ skin. The hemoglobin (oxygen-carrying protein) within the patient’s blood absorbs the light, creating a red pattern that can be seen on the surface of the skin.
When was VeinViewer invented?
5, 2008 — Hailed by Time magazine as one of “The Most Amazing Inventions of 2004,” the VeinViewer from Luminetx Corp. of Memphis, Tenn., uses infrared light to reveal veins underneath the skin that are hard for nurses and other health practitioners to find when trying to start an IV, inject medications or draw blood.

The company had previously raised an undisclosed amount from private individuals, says AccuVein’s founder and CEO, Ron Goldman.
What does a vein viewer do?
Vein Viewer Fundamentals The device emits near-infrared light (NIR) onto the body and interprets the light reflected back by surrounding tissue. It then projects an image onto the body in real-time to highlight the veins.
How does AccuVein AV500 work?
How it works. Vein visualization (also known as vein illumination) uses Near-infrared (NIR) imaging for detecting veins. The AccuVein AV500 employs two safe barcode-scanner class lasers that work in tandem to provide a real-time image of the subcutaneous vasculature up to 10mm deep.
What is vein imaging?
Vein imaging: a new method of near infrared imaging, where a processed image is projected onto the skin for the enhancement of vein treatment.
What is a vein scanner?
A biometric palm vein scanner uses a near-infrared light wave to capture the vein pattern in a patient’s palm. This scan produces a unique biometric template that is a digital representation of the patient’s unique vein pattern. Once enrolled, returning patients simply provide their date of birth and scan their palm.
What is near-infrared light?
Infrared Light (IR) is the light found just past what is visible to the human eye. Near-Infrared Light (NIR) is the section of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) wavelengths nearest to the normal range but just past what we can see. Visible light is the smallest section of the electromagnetic (EM) radiation field.
Is there a vein finder app?
VeinSeek Pro is the world’s first smartphone vein finder app. VeinSeek Pro’s technology is currently also available for Android devices worldwide, but with performance limitations due to the variability in phone and camera specifications for various Android devices.

What color light is best for veins?
Shorter wavelength (orange) light highlights veins as deep as 3 mm. Longer wavelength (red) light reaches a depth up to 6 mm and is appropriate for use on dark skin.
What button do you press to turn on the AV500 and view veins?
The purple button located on the left side of the AV500 will power on the AV500 and turn on the vein display light. Press the button again to turn the vein display light and device off. Press the purple side button again to turn the vein display light back on and begin locating veins again.
