The description details a system based on infrared and ultraviolet light filtering and a standard video camera, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for image processing or analysis.
No
The device is a visual aid for viewing the venous vasculature, indicated for purposes like taking blood or inserting an I.V., which are diagnostic or procedural assistance functions, not therapeutic interventions.
No
Explanation: The device is described as a "visual aid device for the purpose of viewing of the human superficial venous vasculature" and its indications for use are "viewing the superficial venous vasculature as a visual aid in taking blood or inserting an I.V." This indicates it helps with a medical procedure but does not provide a diagnosis of a disease or condition.
No
The device description explicitly details hardware components such as a video camera, television monitor, metal stand, infrared filter, and an incandescent light bulb. It is not solely software.
Based on the provided information, the ESP7 Venous Imager is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- IVD devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body. The ESP7 Venous Imager is a non-invasive device that directly images the veins within the body. It does not analyze blood, tissue, or other samples taken from the patient.
- The intended use is for visual aid in procedures performed on the patient. The device helps visualize veins for blood draws or IV insertions, which are procedures performed directly on the patient's body.
The device description and intended use clearly indicate that it is an external imaging device used to visualize structures within the body, not a device for analyzing samples taken from the body.

Device Description
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.

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.
