Product Overview
The Electric Intraosseous Infusion System offers an alternative route for emergency medications and fluids. It is used when peripheral intravenous access cannot be established quickly.
A handheld electric driver assists with needle insertion for intraosseous (IO) access. The system comes with 15G needles in three lengths and supports both adult and pediatric applications, depending on patient anatomy and insertion site.
Clinical Applications
The system supports emergency vascular access in the following situations when IV access is difficult to obtain.
Emergency Situation | Application |
Cardiac Arrest | Access for resuscitation medication when IV access cannot be established promptly. |
Shock / Hypotension | An alternative infusion route when poor peripheral circulation makes venous access difficult. |
Severe Dehydration / Burns | Access for urgent fluid administration when peripheral IV access is difficult. |
Major Trauma | Emergency medication and fluid delivery when rapid vascular access is required. |
Core Features
1. Rapid IO Access in Approximately 30–60 Seconds
The system lets trained healthcare professionals establish IO access in approximately 30–60 seconds. This provides a route for urgent medications and fluids.
Actual access time depends on the patient's condition, the insertion site, and the operator's experience.
2. Handheld Electric Driver
The trigger-operated driver drives the needle into place. Its handheld format makes it suitable for trained personnel in hospital emergency departments and in prehospital emergency care.
3. Three Needle Lengths for Adult and Pediatric Use
The 15G needles come in 15 mm, 25 mm, and 45 mm lengths, giving options for different tissue depths and insertion sites. Needle selection should be based on clinical assessment, not age alone.
How to Use
Trained healthcare professionals can use the following workflow overview. For the complete procedure, follow the current instructions for use and the applicable clinical protocols.
Step | Workflow |
1. Prepare the Driver | Set the electric driver to operating mode. |
2. Select the Needle | Choose the appropriate needle length according to patient anatomy, tissue depth and the selected insertion site. |
3. Establish IO Access | Use the electric driver to assist needle insertion at the prepared site, then detach the driver. |
4. Verify Placement | Remove the stylet, confirm placement and flush according to the instructions for use and clinical protocol. |
5. Connect for Infusion | Connect a standard extension set or stopcock for medication and fluid administration. Reassess the access site during use. |

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Who can use the electric intraosseous infusion system?
The system is intended for trained healthcare professionals—doctors, nurses, and paramedics—who have received training in its operation.
2. How long can intraosseous access remain in place?
Intraosseous access is intended for temporary emergency use. Use for periods exceeding 24 hours is not recommended.
3. What are the main contraindications?
Contraindications include skin infection at the insertion site, tumor, osteogenesis imperfecta, osteoporosis, a previous IO insertion or failed attempt in the same bone, previous orthopedic procedures near the insertion site, and a fracture in the selected extremity.
4. Should the insertion site be monitored during use?
Yes. Reassess the IO site immediately after access is established and continue monitoring it during infusion according to the device instructions and applicable clinical protocols.
5. Is the IO needle compatible with MRI and CT examinations?
The metal needle is not MRI compatible and may cause scatter artifacts on CT images. Inform the imaging team if an IO needle is in place.
6. Can the disposable IO needle be reused?
No. Each needle is single use only. Reuse may cause infection and harm to the patient.
