DialySafe Device LED Light Assessment for Transillumination
Jacksonville, FL
The purpose of this research is to gather information on the effectiveness of an innovative device called the “DialySafe” intended to help reduce the chance of needle infiltrations during hemodialysis procedures. The DialySafe concept is a light-based device intended to make the AV fistula and graft easily visible for needle insertion. Light is generated from a red LED embedded in the surface of the device. The device will use transillumination technology to visualize the access, which consists of shining light directly into the skin where blood absorbs some of the light, resulting in a true representation of the ...
