Brief 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.
Detailed Description: 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 cursory utility of a low-light source integrated into an existing peripheral intravenous 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 peripheral intravascular catheter to improve self-reported overall subject energy levels based on the change in Epworth Sleepiness scores.

Peripheral intravascular therapy has been used for decades as an effective therapy to maintain proper hydration and electrolyte levels, and has been deemed a non-significant medical procedure. Peripheral intravascular therapy can be infused with various molecular agents such as supplements (Vitamin B12) for the purpose of improving energy levels and overall quality of life. However, the use of normal saline as a standard alone helps improve hydration and cell function. Low-energy light therapy has been established as an alternative treatment for a myriad of medical conditions. Light-based therapy stimulates photoreceptors found within cells and can improve overall cellular bioenergetics. The concurrent administration of low-light therapy and peripheral intravascular normal saline therapy may serve as a viable therapy for the treatment for improvement in subject quality of life and energy levels Accordingly, this study is designed to assess the safety, feasibility, and cursory improvement in self-reported energy levels following intervention of low-light therapy integrated into a standard peripheral intravascular catheter.
