Indications for Use
The VTS1000 is a non-invasive electronic device to aid in the visualization of superficial vasculature. It is indicated for use in procedures requiring vascular or peripheral vessel access.
Device Story
VTS1000 is a portable, head-mounted display (HMD) system using near-infrared (NIR) light to visualize superficial vasculature. The device emits NIR light, which is absorbed by blood and reflected by surrounding tissue; a video acquisition system captures this contrast, which is then projected onto the HMD. This allows clinicians to view vascular structures in real-time while maintaining a normal line of sight during vascular access procedures. The device is intended to supplement, not replace, conventional vascular identification methods. It is used by qualified professionals in clinical settings to improve the success of peripheral vessel access, potentially reducing the number of attempts required for patients.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical study conducted on subjects ranging from <4 weeks to >65 years of age, including diverse genders, ethnicities, weights, and skin tones. Results demonstrated that the VTS1000 effectively provided enhanced visualization of superficial, subcutaneous vascular structures compared to the naked eye. The device was found to be safe, portable, and flexible for use during vascular access procedures.
Technological Characteristics
Near-infrared (NIR) emitter, video acquisition, and head-mounted display (HMD). Conforms to IEC60601-01, IEC60601-1-2, CIE-S009/IEC-62471, and ANSI IESNA RP 27.1, 27.2, and 27.3. Portable, non-invasive electronic device.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients of all ages (from <4 weeks to >65 years), genders, ethnicities, and skin tones requiring visualization of superficial vasculature during vascular or peripheral vessel access procedures.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A liquid crystal vein locator is a device used to indicate the location of a vein by revealing variations in the surface temperature of the skin by displaying the color changes of heat sensitive liquid crystals (cholesteric esters).

#### 4. Description of Device:
The VueTek Scientific™ VTS1000 is a near-infrared (NIR) emitter, video acquisition, and head mounted display (HMD) device that affords viewing of superficial, and its nead invanced and, by differentiating it with higher contrast from surrounding tissue. Visualization of vascular structures is provided by a portable headset display system which supplements normal line of sight viewing during vascular access procedures. The VTS1000 device does not replace the accepted conventional vascular identification and confirmation methods used by qualified professionals.

#### ડ. Indications for Use:
The VTS1000 is a non-invasive electronic device to aid in the visualization of superficial vasculature. It is indicated for use during procedures requiring vascular or peripheral vessel access.
#### Comparison with Predicate Device(s): 6.
The VTS1000 is substantially equivalent when compared to the identified predicate devices.
#### 7. Performance Summary:
Clinical, non-clinical, and independent testing performance data were submitted that demonstrated that the VTS1000 met design requirements and is safe and effective for its intended use. The VTS1000 conforms to IEC60601-01, IEC60601-1-2, CIE-S009/IEC-62471, ANSI IESNA RP 27.1, 27.2 and 27.3.
Clinical study results involving subjects with ages from <4 weeks to >65 years of age of varving genders, ethnicity, weight, and skin tone, demonstrated that the VTS1000 effectively provided and enhanced visualization of superficial, subcutaneous vascular structures when compared to the naked eye. The device was additionally found to be safe, portable, flexible, and provided normal line-of-sight viewing during use.
The performance data demonstrated that the VTS1000 met the established user and design requirements and performs safely and effectively as designed, for its intended use.
#### 8. Conclusions:
The VTS1000 was determined to be substantially equivalent with similar devices currently legally commercially available.
