Introduction
The TransLite Veinlite PEDI2 is a hand-held

veins and superficial blood vessels in pediatric patients.

Description
The PEDI2 utilizes the patented
technique known as side-transillumination and a
patented orange color LED light. A ring of bright light
2
from 10 orange and 4 red LEDs is aimed through a clear
plastic LED Window [A] and focused below the skin
surface and towards the ring's center.
The focused light creates a volume of illunimation, with
the central focus acting as a virtual light source under the
skin. This technique achieves unifrom illumination of a
small region of tissue anywhere on the body.
The patented orange light is selected because of high
absorption in venus blood. The red LEDs have high
penetration in darkly pigmented skins. The combination of
the two provides optimum imaging of veins in humans.
Vein Access
1 Place the Veinlite PEDI2 inside the disposable plastic
cover so that the device is totally covered.
2 Place the Veinlite PEDI2 on the skin, with the LED
Window [A] facing down. Apply gentle pressure to the
Veinlite PEDI2 to ensure it is in contact with the skin.
3 Depress the Power Button [B] to turn on the orange
and then the red LEDs. Use the Brightness Button [C]
to control the brightness level of the device to the
desired level.
4 To scan for veins, place
Veinlite PEDI2 against skin
perpendicular to vein
direction. Scan it
forward and
backward. Veins will be
visible as dark lines due to
transillumination.
5 Once a suitable vein
has been identified,
rotate device 90˚,
parallel to vein.
6 Apply gentle pressure on the
Veinlite PEDI2 to secure the
vein.
7 Push back slightly on the
Veinlite PEDI2 to stretch the
skin and provide traction.
8 Insert the needle into
the vein, through the
opening of the
device.
NOTE: Discard the
single-use disposable plastic
cover after each patient.
