NIO Intraosseous Device w/Fixation Dressing - Pediatric

The patient-range and depth rows are PerSys Medical's labeling for this device — the 3-to-12 age range, the 14 mm/18 mm depth split by age band, and the proximal tibia site. Read them as what the device is labeled for, which is a purchasing question: If your patients fall outside that range, this is not the right SKU, and the NIO Infant™ and NIO Adult™ / NIO+ cover the ranges below and above. Intraosseous access is an invasive procedure performed only by appropriately trained and credentialed personnel under their scope of practice and local protocol. Depth selection, landmark identification, placement confirmation and fixation are clinical steps the trained provider performs. The device is sterile and single-use: Do not reuse it, and check the 5-year date on the pack as part of routine kit inspection.

Pre-hospital EMS and HEMS crews credentialed for pediatric intraosseous access · Emergency departments and pediatric resuscitation teams wanting a battery-free device that stays ready in a rarely-opened pediatric bag · Combat medics and tactical providers operating where civilian pediatric casualties are a realistic prospect · Rural, remote and austere providers with long transport times and no reliable power for a driver · Agencies standardizing pediatric vascular access across services where equipment must be identical between vehicles.

Buy it for the age range on the label and check that range against your patient population before you standardize. This is the pediatric SKU: The manufacturer specifies ages 3 to 12, with the red spacer setting the depth by age band, and separate devices cover younger and older patients. If your service carries only one intraosseous device, understand which patients it does not cover. Because it is spring-loaded rather than battery-driven, it survives sitting untouched in a pediatric bag between calls — but it is still single-use and still dated, so it belongs in your expiry inspection cycle. Intraosseous access is an invasive, credentialed procedure. Whether it is indicated, where it goes, how placement is confirmed and how the site is managed are decisions made under your licensure, your training and your medical direction.
