NIR Technology

Near-infrared (NIR) technology transforms venous access by providing real-time visualisation of subcutaneous vasculature—empowering clinicians to locate the best veins quickly and with confidence. By increasing first-attempt success rates, it minimises the need for repeated peripheral IV cannula (PIVC) insertions, reducing patient discomfort and improving overall procedural efficiency.

Fewer attempts mean less tissue trauma, a lower risk of complications, and a smoother, more consistent clinical experience. For healthcare teams, this translates into greater confidence at the point of care and more predictable outcomes across diverse patient populations.

Beyond clinical benefits, NIR technology also drives smarter resource use. By reducing unnecessary consumables and waste, it supports cost efficiency and sustainability goals—making it a valuable addition to modern healthcare environments.

The result is a solution that not only elevates clinical performance but also enhances the patient journey—delivering faster access, greater comfort, and a more positive experience from start to finish.

Harmless near-infrared light is projected onto the skin, where it is absorbed by blood and reflected by surrounding tissue. VeinViewer captures this information and processes it through advanced computer technology to generate a full-field digital image of the patient’s vein pattern.

The high-definition (HD) image is then projected directly onto the skin—no patches or gels required, only LED projection. Importantly, this process occurs in real time, allowing clinicians to visualise veins instantly.

An exclusive focal indicator ensures the device is positioned at the optimal distance for image quality and accuracy. In addition, multiple ASSESS™ Plus imaging modes allow clinicians to tailor the projection to suit both patient needs and personal preferences.

VeinViewer supports the assessment of venous patterns across a wide range of patients, regardless of age, skin tone, or body size.

Measured Accuracy

A study involving over 3,000 data points demonstrates the accuracy of VeinViewer projections.

TrueView technology delivers highly reliable vein-width representation, supporting accurate catheter gauge selection and increasing overall clinician confidence. For vessels most commonly accessed during peripheral IV placement (3–7 mm in width), VeinViewer achieves near-perfect accuracy, with a variance of ±0.06 mm.

This equates to just 60 microns—approximately 40% smaller than the width of a human hair and close to the threshold of human visual perception.

Exclusive Technology

VeinViewer’s innovative technology enables clinicians to identify optimal vein options during real-time patient assessments. With AVIN™ (Active Vascular Imaging Navigation), clinicians can evaluate all potential access points by moving the projected image across the anatomy and receiving immediate visual feedback.

Df² (Digital Full Field) technology enhances visualisation of deeper vasculature with greater accuracy than conventional vein illumination devices. By processing the entire image field using proprietary algorithms, VeinViewer provides more than simple vein location—it delivers meaningful clinical insights.

This enables informed decision-making before, during, and after vein access, supporting more precise intravenous catheter placement.

Seamless Clinical Integration

VeinViewer’s hands-free design integrates effortlessly into standard clinical workflows. Clinicians can maintain full focus on the procedure without needing to look away at a monitor or handle additional equipment during vein access.
