Does the VTS1000 Infra Red Vein Imager Allow Better Identification of Veins Than Normal Eyesight?

Completed

Conditions studied: Vision

In brief

VueTek has developed a head mounted device that will improve the viewing of superficial, subcutaneous vasculature, differentiating it with higher contrast from surrounding tissue. Video of the vasculature is displayed to the user in a portable headset. The headset and display combination facilitates both visualization in the display and an open field of view directly to the subject's anatomy and practitioner's surroundings. The goal is to provide a non-diagnostic, enhanced visual aide that is used alongside standard visual and tactile methodology. The primary and secondary objectives of this validation are as follows: 1. Primary Objective: To demonstrate that the VTS1000 affords visualization of superficial, subcutaneous vascular structures, when compared to the naked eye. 2. Secondary Objective: To demonstrate that the VTS1000 enhances visualization of superficial, subcutaneous vascular structures over the naked eye. Validation Ancillary Endpoints 1\. To gather data to demonstrate that the VTS1000 is portable, affords conventional vascular access methods, and provides flexibility, fit and balance during use.
