New device aims to end the pain of missed IVs

NCT ID NCT06861595

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether the AccuVein device, which uses light to map veins, helps nurses insert IV lines on the first try in patients with difficult veins. One hundred adults who are hard to infuse will be randomly assigned to get an IV with or without the device. The main goal is to see if the first attempt succeeds more often and causes less pain.

Active substance

AccuVein device

What this could lead to

If it works, this could make IV insertion faster and less painful for people with hard-to-find veins, like those who are obese or have dark skin.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage study with only 100 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The device might not improve success rates significantly.
