Indications for Use
The ESP7 Venous Imager is a non-invasive electronic visual aid device for the purpose of viewing of the human superficial venous vasculature. lindications for use: 1) viewing the superficial venous vasculature as a visual aid in taking blood or inserting an I.V.
Device Story
ESP7 Venous Imager is a non-invasive visual aid for locating superficial veins. Device utilizes a standard video camera and television monitor mounted on an adjustable metal stand. An onboard 50-watt incandescent light source illuminates the subject (350-900 nm). An infrared filter between the camera lens and CCD blocks visible light while allowing infrared and ultraviolet light to pass. Ultraviolet light (<450 nm) is absorbed by epidermal melanin, creating a translucent window for infrared light to differentiate carbon dioxide-carrying venous vessels from surrounding tissue. Used in hospitals, clinics, and doctor's offices by clinicians to assist in IV insertion or blood draws. Output is displayed on a monitor, allowing the clinician to visualize veins not otherwise visible to the naked eye, potentially improving procedural success.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data provided.
Technological Characteristics
Device consists of a standard video camera, television monitor, and 50-watt incandescent light source mounted on an adjustable metal stand. Features an infrared filter to isolate specific wavelengths (350-900 nm). Electrical components are grounded 110v 60 cycle. Thermal safety provided by a double-walled metal shield. No software or digital processing described.
Indications for Use
Indicated for viewing superficial venous vasculature in patients as a visual aid for phlebotomy or intravenous catheter insertion.
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).

ESP7 Venous Imager (vein locator)
Liquid Crystal Vein Locator KZA 880.6970 class 1 Predicate device = "E-Z-Jector"
The "E-Z-Jector" used a video camera with liquid crystal display and sensed temperature variations in the skin as a means of locating veins which are otherwise not visible. The veins could be located on the LCD monitor for view as an aid in inserting an I.V. or drawing blood.
The "ESP7 Venous Image" is designed for the same purpose, to locate veins which are otherwise not visible to the naked eye. It uses a similar technology in that it uses a standard Video Camera and television monitor mounted on a roll around height and angle adjustable metal stand. The ESP7 Venous Image, however, uses an Infrared filter placed between the camera lens and the CCD to eliminate visible light from entering the camera but allowing infrared and ultra violet light to pass through to the monitor. An on board light source broadcasts a low intensity light beam on the subject. The light source is a common household incandescent 50 watt light bulb that illuminates from a wave length of 350 to 900 nanometers. The ultra violet in the below 450 range is absorbed by the melanin in the epidermis forming a translucent window for the infra red to pass through the skin and differentiate the blue or carbon dioxide carrying venous vessels from the other objects in view.
This device is for use in hospitals, clinics, and Doctor's offices. lt uses a grounded 110v 60 cvcle electrical source using a total of 150 watts. All electrical components are safe over the counter items. Thermal safety is not a problem as the 50 watt light bulb is protected by a double wall metal shield as is cool to the touch.
