ABC's Primetime Live last evening had an interesting clip on a pending criminal action/lawsuit in California. A 11 month old died due to lack of medical attention. Interestingly, Intraosseus Infusion (IOI) was identified as an appropriate procedure but it was not done by the attending Doctor. Here is the transcript for those interested in learning more: abcnews.com I wondered what that type of procedure would involve (before FAST1) and came across this description: units.ox.ac.uk All looks very complicated to me . . . I'm no medical expert but I'm told by medical friends that these situations arise frequently. I'm beginning to realize just how important and life-saving Pyng's technolgy really is. The ability to quickly and easily get fluids into a person whose veins have collapsed and the traditional IV approach is not possible. I believe there is a larger market than Pyng may have realized. For example what I'll call the "near-hospital" such as medical clinics, oral and plastic surgery offices, etc. Incidently, my wife works as an RN in a dental surgery office. When she told the surgeons about the FAST1 system, they were extremely interested and would definitely buy. There is an immediate need for the FAST1 in these environments, especially for medical emergencies. Anyone have any numbers on near-hospitals? PYNG - go get them! Regards, Sapper PS: Can anyone tell me if the FAST1 system is disposable or reuseable? If reuseable, for how long?
