AI device aims to take the guesswork out of finding veins
NCT ID NCT07383870
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a new device that uses artificial intelligence and ultrasound to help healthcare workers find veins for blood draws. 190 adults each had blood drawn from both arms—one with the device and one the traditional way. Researchers compared success rates, pain, and time to see if the device works as well or better than manual methods.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- AIIV L2 (AI- and ultrasound-based medical device)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this device could make blood draws easier and less painful by helping healthcare workers find veins more accurately on the first try.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-center study, so results may not apply everywhere. The device may not improve success rates or could cause unexpected issues.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Male or female adults aged 19 years or older at the time of study enrollment. * Subjects who are able to undergo venipuncture in the antecubital area of both arms, without restriction of elbow joint movement, and who can maintain the arm in a stable extended position during venipuncture. * Subjects who have received a full explanation of the clinical trial, fully understand the contents, voluntarily decide to participate, and provide written informed consent prior to screening procedures. Exclusion Criteria: * Pregnant or breastfeeding women. * Subjects with an implanted defibrillator or pacemaker. * Subjects at increased risk of bleeding due to underlying conditions such as anticoagulant use, hemophilia, thrombocytopenia, preeclampsia, or other coagulation disorders. * Subjects with abnormal vascular anatomy in the antecubital area due to vascular malformations, vascular disease, or prior creation of an arteriovenous shunt. * Subjects with significant abnormal skin lesions (e.g., infection, dermatologic disease, trauma, or wounds) in the antecubital area. * Subjects whose arm condition is unsuitable for venipuncture due to transfusion, intravenous fluid therapy, or similar procedures. * Subjects with immunodeficiency or immunosuppression (e.g., steroid or immunosuppressant therapy, severe infection) and therefore vulnerable to infection. * Subjects with a prior history of severe vasovagal reaction during venipuncture. * Subjects whose upper arm circumference exceeds 44 cm, preventing application of the tourniquet inside the device. * Subjects with a conflict of interest, such as employees of competing companies. * Subjects considered by the investigator to be otherwise unsuitable for participation in this clinical trial.
