SAM IO Driver

The SAM IO Driver is a multi-use, manually operated intraosseous access driver designed to provide a tactile feel for accurate needle placement. Ideal for adult and paediatric patients, the SAM IO Driver is indicated for use in the proximal humerus, proximal tibia, and distal tibia, with the distal femur also being an option for paediatric patients.

Placement of the catheter is achieved by gently compressing the driver's trigger assembly, which rotates the needle assembly. This, in combination with gentle downward pressure, ensures controlled intraosseous (IO) placement. Once the needle assembly is in the correct position, the stylet is removed, exposing a standard Luer-lock fitting for easy connection of extension sets.

Built to military-grade durability, the SAM IO Driver is made from lightweight, high-strength polycarbonate material and meets MIL-STD 810G testing standards. Weighing just 70g, it has been tested for over 10,000 actuations, ensuring reliability and longevity even in the harshest environments.

FAQs:

Q: How does the SAM IO Driver work for needle placement?
A: The SAM IO Driver uses a trigger assembly to rotate the needle, and with gentle downward pressure, it achieves controlled intraosseous placement. Once the needle is in position, the stylet is removed for easy connection of extension sets.

Q: What is the benefit of the ratcheting handle?
A: The ratcheting handle allows for controlled needle placement, making it easier to ensure accurate and effective insertion.

Q: Is the SAM IO Driver suitable for paediatric use?
A: Yes, the SAM IO Driver is designed for both adult and paediatric patients. The distal femur can also be used for paediatric patients.

Q: How durable is the SAM IO Driver?
A: The SAM IO Driver is made of durable polycarbonate material and has been tested for over 10,000 actuations, ensuring long-term reliability and performance.

Q: What accessories are needed to use the SAM IO Driver?
A: The SAM IO Driver requires SAM IO Needles, SAM IO Stabiliser, and SAM IO Adaptor, all of which are sold separately.
