GSABC to Offer Members AccuVein's AV300 to Help Ease Venipuncture Process

Cold Spring Harbor, NY, June 8, 2009 – AccuVein LLC today announced a three–year agreement with Group Services for America’s Blood Centers (GSABC) bringing the AccuVein AV300, the world’s first hand–held, non–contact vein illumination device, to GSABC member blood centers. Under the agreement, GSABC will provide participating blood centers access to the AV300 to help locate hard–to–find veins.
