Hospital isolation rooms are devoted to patients who need intensive care or patients that are most likely to spread infections to other patients in the hospital, as in the cases of infectious diarrhea, tuberculosis, chickenpox or the currently widespread deadly coronavirus (COVID-19) disease.
Such situations require the injection of medical fluids, used in treatments, through a cannula inserted in the patient’s hand or arm.
Needle insertion can be challenging when the veins are undetectable. This happens when the patient is very old or very young (babies) or has a dark complexion, a burnt skin or any skin condition that makes the veins invisible and, henceforth, not easy to find.
Patients in isolation rooms are generally in a fragile state, where they need to be treated carefully and repetitive injections are one of the things that should be avoided in such cases. This is why vein detectors are of paramount importance in these sensitive conditions.
SIFVEIN vein finders are non-contact devices. From a distance, the device emits infra-red light that interacts with the blood hemoglobin and illuminates the vein, creating a visible vein map that shows all the needed veins in the hand or arm. The patient, in this case, doesn’t need to touch the device, resulting in safer medical injections and lower risks of contamination, especially in the case of patients with weak immune systems.
SIFVEIN trolley vein detectors, SIFVEIN-7.11, SIFVEIN-6.0, SIFVEINSET-1.0 are perfect for a hospital isolation room setting.
They have either wheeled or fixed stands, linked to the most accurate and clear infrared vein finders. The wheeled stands facilitate the mobility of the device, making it easier for the doctor to move it wherever they need.
At the same time, the doctor can take off the SIFVEIN main unit from the trolley in case he/she needs to get closer to the patient’s body or when the needed body area cannot be accessible when the device is on the trolley.
