Safety and Feasibility of Polychromatic Light Emitting Diode for Peripheral Catheter Illumination During Peripheral Intravenous Delivery of Normal Saline

Summary

This study uses a prospective non-randomized, non-controlled design. Five-hundred (500) subjects having previously received a peripheral intravenous therapy will be enrolled into a single treatment group. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety, feasibility, and improved energy levels following treatment with a low-light source integrated into an existing peripheral intravascular catheter. The absence of a control group is based on the following reason:This is a pilot investigation to establish a baseline understanding of the safety, feasibility, and cursory utility of polychromatic light emitting diodes integrated into an existing 20-gauge 1.0 inch intravenous catheter to improve self-reported overall subject energy levels.
