EZ-IOs Distributed to Region	


  <http://www.csems.vaems.org/images/ezio.gif> The Central Shenandoah EMS
Council sponsored two training sessions conducted by Vidacare and Sovereign
Medical on February 26 and 27.  During this training, representatives from
regional agencies were trained on the use of the EZ-IO and will now train
other providers at regional agencies.  Presently, Cardiac Tech,
EMT-Intermediate and Paramedic level providers are those that are authorized
to use the device.  A misprint in the original version of the protocols
errantly indicated Shock Trauma Technicians could perform the skill.


The CSEMS Council has training devices available to be checked out for
training at regional agencies.  These devices include driver sets and
various bones for practice.  To check out the EZ-IO training devices,
complete the form on the Equipment  <http://www.csems.vaems.org/equipment>
Reservation page.


The CSEMS Council will facilitate an exchange of F.A.S.T.1 IO devices for
EZ-IO needles.  This exchange will be on a one-for-one basis.  Agencies
should submit the F.A.S.T.1 devices to the Council no later than April 15,
2007.

Sovereign Medical,  <http://www.sovmed.com/> LLC is the distributor of the
EZ-IO.  Agencies should contact the regional representative, Mack Overman
<mailto:mack at sovmed.com> , to order additional driver sets, replacement
needles or other accessories. 	
Advanced Life Support agencies that have not received the EZ-IO kits should
contact Matt Lawler <mailto:mlawler at vaems.org>  at the CSEMS Council.
