PRNewswire -- AccuVein LLC today announced a three-year agreement with Group Services for America’s Blood Centers (GSABC) bringing the AccuVein AV300, the world’s first hand-held, non-contact vein illumination device, to GSABC member blood centers. Under the agreement, GSABC will provide participating blood centers access to the AV300 to help locate hard-to-find veins. The AccuVein AV300 projects a pattern of light on a patient’s skin revealing vein position to help the healthcare professional locate veins for blood draw (venipuncture).
“Providing the members of GSABC with the AccuVein AV300 is a big step towards reaching our goal -- providing all health professionals with a device that may reduce time and effort in establishing an IV line,” said Stephen P. Conlon, President, AccuVein.
“GSABC is committed to providing our members access to the latest technology -- enhancing their Centers and providing their donors with top-of-the-line service,” said Jerome Haarmann, President, GSABC. The device will be supplied by UnitedPharma, AccuVein’s preferred distributor to Blood Centers.
