Peripheral intravenous access is common procedure in clinical practice with variable success rates. To ensure safety and accurate implementation of this difficult procedure, Study of aim was development of the prototype to visualized macroscopically invisible peripheral vein (2011). Then we evaluated vein visibility from invisible vein to visualized vein with the prototype and existing equipment (2012). The vein visualization of performance at the prototype had 70-80% visualization rate to healthy subjects and the elderly. Although, We had no success in visualized vein depth of degree.
