SAM® IO Intraosseous Access System
Manual, Durable, and Battery-Free Emergency Vascular Access
The SAM IO Intraosseous Access System provides intraosseous access in the proximal tibia, distal tibia (paediatrics only) and humeral head, when intravenous access is difficult or impossible to obtain in emergent, urgent or medically necessary case for up to 24 hrs.
SAM IO is manually operated intraosseous access system. Catheter placement is achieved by continuously actuating (repeatedly compressing) the drivers trigger assembly while guiding the needle assembly into position. Repeated, full trigger actuation creates rotational spin of the needle assembly which, when combined with downward pressure, results in controlled IO placement. Once needle assembly to properly positioned, the stylet is removed to expose standard Luer-lock for extensions set connection. With the extension set connected, aspiration verification, flushing and selected treatment(s) may commence.
The revolutionary SAM IO driver is intuitive for current IO users with familiar features including colour coding and depth indicators that match industry standards.
