LUCAS™ Chest Compression System
Small, compact and portable, LUCAS sets up with less than a 20 second interruption to CPR, and facilitates consistent blood flow from the moment it’s turned on, helping to improve a patient’s chance for a successful outcome. LUCAS performs at a rate of 100 compressions per minute with a depth of 1.5 to 2 inches, and allows for complete chest wall recoil after each compression. Reduce rescuer fatigue; LUCAS delivers automated compressions consistently and continuously, helping to maintain good circulation to the
patient on the scene, during transport and throughout the hospital.
LUCAS is lightweight, comes in a backpack and can be applied quickly to a patient, mak- ing it easy to use and simple to apply whether the patient is on the ground, on a bed or on a stretcher.

The AccuVein AV300
Venipuncture is the most commonly performed invasive medical procedure, with 2.7 million venous access pro- cedures performed every day in the U.S. Often attempts to start IVs can fail. Imagine how much quicker this pro- cedure would be if you could locate the veins beneath the skin. Now you can – with the AccuVein AV300. The AV300 is the first vein illumination device that is both portable and non-contact. This revolutionary de- vice, weighing only 10 ounces, is as simple to use as pointing the device at an area of the skin and clicking to see the veins beneath. The AV300 does not come in contact with the patient’s skin and therefore may not need to be sterilized between
The Bone Injection Gun
The Bone Injection Gun (B.I.G.) is the world’s first spring loaded, automatic in- traosseous device allowing for safe and rapid IO access in emergencies where vein lines cannot be established in a timely manner. Available in both adult and pediatric versions, the B.I.G. is a simple and inexpensive IO so- lution for practically any scenario. The B.I.G. is the smallest automatic IO de- vice available in the market. The B.I.G. is only 6 inches long and weighs less than 3oz (including packaging). The adult B.I.G. is FDA approved for use on patients 12 years+ at 4 sites, including both proximal Tibia sites and both proximal Humorous sites. The pediatric B.I.G. is FDA approved for use on newborns to age 12 in the Proximal Tibia site, and its needle depth is adjustable according to the patient’s age. With a success rate of 96%

(Journal of Trauma, March 2008), the B.I.G. has become a standard of care in EMS, hos- pitals and military units. The B.I.G.’s innova- tive design allows it to perform in the most extreme conditions such as: • During MCI “The B.I.G. can easily and quickly provide vascular access (success rate >90% during the first attempt for non-medical operators)” (La Revue des SAMU, France 2005).
• “While wearing Nuclear Biological Chemical protective gear, the In- traosseous insertion of the B.I.G.'s nee- dle is rapid and easy…” (Ben-Abraham 2002)

uses. And it runs on a rechargeable battery so it does not need to be plugged in to an electrical outlet. There is a hands-free accessory in situations where hands-free use is needed. This easy-to-use device operates on the princi- ple that hemoglobin in the blood absorbs infrared light dif- ferently than the surrounding tissue.
With the AccuVein AV300 medical professionals from EMTs to Nurses can get the quick venous access they need to help start IVs and deliver critical medications to patients.
