Veinlite Vein Access Devices

Veinlite EMS Pro®

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

Description

The Veinlite EMS PRO® is a hand-held battery powered illumination device for finding veins and assisting in vein access. It has two modes of operation: surface illumination using 8 bright white LEDs and side-transillumination using 12 orange plus 4 red LEDs. The Veinlite EMS PRO uniformly illuminates a small region of skin and subcutaneous tissue, anywhere on the body. The design of the Veinlite EMS PRO is such that during vein access, the vein is visualized, skin is stretched and the vein is secured to keep it from rolling.
