Pre-Op benefits of vein illumination

Operating room procedures can have a direct effect on a hospital’s bottom line. Efficiencies in your hospital’s operating suite can be compromised due to delays caused by a patient’s difficult vascular access (DVA). The average operational cost per hour for an OR suite in the US is approximately $3,720. VeinViewer^® has been clinically proven to reduce IV start times by up to 100%, potentially cutting OR costs by improving patient throughput.

Factors contributing to difficult venous access (DVA) in the OR:

​VeinViewer has been proven to:

• Increase first stick success by up to 100%
• Decrease PICC lines placed due to difficult venous access by greater than 30%
• Increase patient satisfaction by 100%

​VeinViewer by Christie is a vascular access imaging device that can help the clinician find the optimal venipuncture site and avoid potential complications. With HD imaging and exclusive Df² (Digital full field) technology, VeinViewer is the only vein illuminator that provides benefits for all patients during the entire vascular access procedure and allows clinicians a hands-free, Eyes On Patient technique.

• See peripheral veins up to 10 mm deep and blood patterns up to 15 mm deep providing more potential access sites.
• Locate valves and bifurcations which aids in decision making for the point of insertion.
• Assess IV patency during and after placement through visualization of fluid flushing and detection of a hematoma as it forms. Watch this video ​to see VeinViewer’s PDP capabilities.
• Avoid higher acuity central lines​.
