AccuVein AV300 Vein Illumination Device Now Available to Majority of the World’s Population
Long Island, NY, August 17, 2011 – AccuVein Inc., a global leader in medical imaging technology and the creator of the AV300, the world’s first hand-held, non-contact vein illumination device, announced today that the AV300 has been approved for sale in China by the State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA).

“China is a country of 1.3 billion people where emphasis on quality healthcare continues to rise,” said AccuVein CEO Ron Goldman. “We are excited about the opportunity to positively impact patient care and reduce healthcare costs on such a large scale.”
Venipuncture is the most common invasive medical procedure, with millions of procedures conducted every day around the world. Studies show that up to one third of these attempts to access a vein fail the first time, creating unnecessary patient discomfort, as well as additional costs.
The AV300 has been shown to improve peripheral vascular access for IV infusion by projecting a safe pattern of light on a patient’s skin that reveals the position of underlying veins. This can be particularly helpful on patients who have Difficult Venous Access (DVA).
