Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if there is one method of identifying the proximal humerus intraosseous vascular access site that is easier for clinicians to use, out of the 4 methods being evaluated.

Detailed description

This was a non-controlled study using licensed/certified EMT/paramedics and licensed nurses as device operator subjects identifying the proximal humerus IO insertion site and inserting the IO catheter in healthy adult volunteers. Forty (40) clinicians with no prior training on establishing IO vascular access in the proximal humerus IO insertion site were enrolled in the study as device operator subjects. Twenty (20) healthy adult volunteers were enrolled in the study to have IO vascular access established bilaterally in the proximal humerus with one device operator accessing one of the subject's arms, according to their assigned method for identifying the proximal humerus intraosseous vascular access site.
