Question 1 of 11
1. Question
8 points
The AV400 should be held at what distance from the patient?Correct
The AV400 can be held anywhere from 4 to 18 inches (10 to 45 cm) from the body of the patient. Most clinicians prefer a distance of around 8 to 10 inches (20 to 25 cm) which provides a good balance of brightness and projection size. As you get closer, the projection gets brighter and smaller. As you move away, the projection gets larger and less bright. Pick a distance that suits the patient and room lighting.

Question 2 of 11
2. Question
8 pointsThe AV400 should be held in what
orientation to the veins?
Correct
The AV400 can be held in whatever orientation is convenient for you. This will vary based on your position and the patient’s position. You may change orientations between handheld assessment and placement in a hands-free stand. Regardless of what angle you hold the device relative to the vein direction, always remember to hold the unit directly over the veins you are studying.

Question 3 of 11
3. Question
8 pointsWhat button do you press to turn on the AV400 and view veins?
Correct
The button on the side will turn the vein projection light on. The left button on the top switches between normal projection and inverse projection. The round button on the top turns the unit off. While not used during clinical procedures, the center button can be used to display the device’s serial number when the unit is on, but not projecting.
Pressing the top round button will turn the unit on an off, but not the vein projector. Always use the blue button to turn on the projection.

4. Question
9 points
The inverse setting is the left button found on top of the AccuVein AV400. Which of the following
statements about the inverse setting are true.
(multiple answers are allowed)Correct 9 / 9PointsThe inverse setting inverts the dark and light projection areas of the AV400. The inverse setting may improve vein visibility or you may simply prefer it. You may prefer normal or inverse based on the lighting conditions of where you are performing the procedure.
The inverse setting is highly recommended in cases where the veins are very small.

5. Question
9 points
The Accuvein AV400 should be used to find veins ________.
(multiple answers are allowed)Correct 9 / 9PointsThe AV400 projects a patient’s vasculature and is used in conjunction with standard procedural techniques and best practices. It can be used to locate veins for IV starts, blood draw, sclerotherapy, general and cosmetic surgery. You may want to locate veins to access them or avoid them depending on the procedure.

6. Question
12 points
The “wipe technique” involves occluding the vein, pushing the blood out of the vessel and watching it refill. This is done in order to ________.
(multiple answers are allowed)Correct 12 / 12PointsThe wipe technique is used to verify vein patency by occluding and wiping the vein; you can verify blood refill as well as the structure of the vessel. This helps you avoid valves and bifurcations during cannulation so that you can avoid damaging or “blowing” the vein.

8. Question
9 points
When using the AV400 a protective eye shield should be used on ________.
(multiple answers are allowed)Correct 9 / 9PointsThe vein display light should not be shined in patient’s eyes. Patients that have inhibited or impaired blink reflex such as neonates require additional care. This includes patients that are under anesthesia or sedation. In such cases where these conditions are present, any protective eye shield is recommended. An example are the eye shields used for neonates under a bili light.

Question 9 of 11
9. Question
8 pointsWhat do spots in the vein projection mean?
Correct
Optical surfaces can be cleaned with a soft lens wipe with a few drops of isopropyl alcohol. Clean the body of the device with alcohol or hospital approved wipes such as Super Sani-Cloths (complete details can be found here. You can also clean the charging cradle and hands free accessory as necessary. The AV400 is made of medical grade plastic. Too much liquid or an over-saturated cloth can permanently damage the AV400. Bleach and CaviWipes1 should not be used on the AV400.

Question 10 of 11
10. Question
8 pointsIf you see spots on the projected site while viewing the veins on a patient, what should you do?
Correct
If there are spots on the lens you’ll be able to see them because a dark spot will move with the device while you are viewing veins. If you see spots on the projected site while viewing veins, you can clean the lens with a slightly damp or pre-moistened alcohol prep pad.
Tip: Never submerge the unit or use a wet cloth.
If the cloth is dripping, then it is too damp. Pre-moistened pads are just right.Incorrect

Question 11 of 11
11. Question
8 pointsHow much time do I have after the device has been fully charged to use it?
Correct
When the device is not in use it is recommended that it be kept in its charging cradle so that it is kept charged and ready for use at any time. When in the charging cradle the battery charge icon will display. It typically takes 2-5 hours to fully charge the device and there is up to 3 hours of constant vein illumination time per charge, depending on how often you use it.
Tip: Its best practice to keep the unit on the charger when not in use
so you always know where it is and its always charged.Incorrect
