INRIS products represent a radically new way to image vascular structures. IRIS’s first market-cleared device, the INRIS Vascular Viewer, uses infrared light to visualize both superficial veins and more deeply-located arteries. The visualization is direct, real-time, and non-invasive.

The system comprises four major components:

Infrared light source
Light source controller
Viewing scope
Light source masking pad

The process is simple and quick. Once the vascular access site has been selected, the light source is affixed to the patient’s anatomy with a single-use masking pad. The light source controller adjusts the output creating an image that can be viewed through the scope. With the image as a guide, the healthcare professional proceeds as normal. The needle (or catheter) appears as a dark contrast image against the vascular structures. Rolled veins, bifurcatons, vasospasms, and extravasations are easily detected. The INRIS Vascular Viewer delivers the image to the clinician without an interruption of the traditional vascular access procedure.
