NCT07279701 | Recruiting FDA Device

• 1 other identifier: PEDVEIN
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 200
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if using near-infrared imaging in pediatric vein cannulation is leading to higher success rate. The main question it aims to answer is: is there higher success of first attempt in periferal vein cannulation? does it lower overall number of attempts to successful cannulation?

Conditions

Intravenous Cannulation

Keywords

pediatric; near-infrared imaging; periferal vein cannulation; difficult intravenous access

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Success rate of first attempt in peripheral vein cannulation

  Success rate of first attempt in periferal vein cannulation

  Periprocedural

• Number of attempts

  Overall number of attempts needed to secure periferal vein access

  Periprocedural

Study Arms (2)

VeinViewer Flex

EXPERIMENTAL

The periferal vein cannulation will be aided by concurrent near-infrared imaging by device VeinViewer Flex using AVIN™ (Active Vascular Imaging Navigation).

Device: Use of near-infrared imaging by VeinViewer Flex of periferal veins

Landmark

NO INTERVENTION

The peripheral vein cannulatoon will be provided by usual landmark technique, without any other imaging device.

Interventions

Use of near-infrared imaging by VeinViewer Flex of periferal veins DEVICE

The projected near-infrared light is absorbed by the blood and reflected by surrounding tissue, captured, processed, and digitally projected in real time directly onto the skin surface. It provides an accurate, real-time image of the patient's blood pattern. Patented VeinViewer technology using AVIN™ (Active Vascular Imaging Navigation) allows the blood vessels to be seen down to a depth of 10 mm. With VeinViewer, physicians can see peripheral veins, bifurcations, and valves and assess venous filling/flushing in real time.
