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.

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.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Treatment group | Experimental | Polychromatic light emitting diode system is a non-significant risk device that administers low-dose light generated by a light emitting diode. Small adapter attaches directly to a standard 20-gauge catheter that threads a small fiber optic through the distal end of the catheter. The optic terminates at the distal end of the catheter. Polychromatic light is emitted to illuminate the catheter and site of catheter entrance. Concurrently, normal saline flows through the optic adapter and through into the 20-gauge catheter. |

| UVL1000 Treatment Station | Device | Non-coherent light source administered 365 nm, 630 nm, and 530 nm at an output intensity of 0.1 mW directly into an existing intravascular 20 gauge 1.0" catheter |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| The use of polychromatic light therapy delivered through an intravascular catheter for the improvement in self-reported subject energy levels | The ESS is a self-administered questionnaire with 8 questions. It provides a measure of a person's general level of daytime sleepiness, or their average sleep propensity in daily life. It has become the world standard method for making this assessment. The Epworth Sleepiness Scale will be used to evaluate subject energy levels at both baseline and post-procedure administration phase. Subjects will rate, on a 4-point scale (0 - 3), their usual chances of dozing off or falling asleep in 8 different situations or activities that most people engage in as part of their daily lives, although not necessarily every day. It evaluates what the chances are that they would doze off whenever they were in each situation. | Baseline and 10 weeks |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| The improvement in subject quality of life using a five (5)-point GRA | Descriptive scale evaluating subject's perceived quality of life following treatment administration scale | 10 weeks |
| Subject satisfaction based on five (5)-point satisfaction questionnaire |
