Features

  • The EZ-IO System is Effective; 97% first-attempt access success rate3
  • The EZ-IO System is Safe; <1% serious complication rate4
  • The EZ-IO System is Fast; Achieves vascular access within 10 seconds5
  • The adult proximal humerus optimizes EZ-IO Intraosseous Vascular Access System infusion rates (avg. 5L/hour under pressure) with less medication required for patient pain management6**
  • Many fluids and medications that can be given via a peripheral IV can be given via the IO route using the same dose, rate, and concentration7-10
  • Six approved insertion sites: proximal humerus, proximal tibia, distal tibia
  • Blood samples for laboratory testing can be obtained via the IO route‡

Based on preclinical and clinical evidence comparing IO and venous or arterial sources a number of common laboratory values correlate well; other values show clinical similarity without statistically significant correlation. Caution should be exercised with their interpretation. Certain point of care (POC) analyzers have been studied with acceptable results. Check with your laboratory for IO specimen processing capabilities. For more information regarding IO laboratory analysis, refer to the publication Science and Fundamentals of Intraosseous Vascular Access, available at: www.teleflex.com/ezioeducation.

While the articles support intraosseous vascular access indications, claims and applications of Arrow EZ-IO Intraosseous Vascular Access System, readers should consult a physician and product labeling for proper indications, contraindications, warnings and precautions prior to use.

Potential complications may include local or systemic infection, hematoma, extravasations, or other complications associated with percutaneous insertion of sterile devices
