[edit] Products
AccuVein's first product is the AV300. The AV300 is a hand held device that is shone on the body of a patient to enhance the visual contrast of the veins. Because venipuncture is an operation that requires both hands to be free, AccuVein also offers hands-free stands to allow the user to position the device over the patient's body.
[edit] Certifications
AccuVein has an ISO 13485:2003 Quality System registered by BSI, certificate FM 546323
