PRODUCT INFORMATION

Safeguard Medical · Intraosseous Access

NIO Intraosseous Device w/Fixation Dressing - Ruggerized

The tactical-grade NIO+ — a spring-loaded, single-use adult intraosseous device with no batteries, no driver and no assembly, supplied in a hardened ruggerized casing with a fixation dressing. 15 gauge, 6 oz packaged, sterile, five-year shelf life. FDA-cleared under K211968 for adult proximal tibia and proximal humerus access. A provider-level device.

15G · 42 mm effective lengthSpring-loaded, no batteriesRuggerized casingFDA 510(k) K211968

The clinical performance is the same as the standard NIO Adult — same 15G needle, same spring mechanism. What you are buying with the plus is a housing that survives being dropped, crushed in a packed kit, or cycled through temperature extremes before you ever need it.

What's Included

One sterile device per package. The first accordion is what ships; the second states what the device is not, including who it is not indicated for. Tap a section.

1x NIO+ Ruggerized adult intraosseous device — 15 gauge, 42 mm (1.65 in.) effective needle length, 25 mm (0.98 in.) penetration depth, automatic spring-loaded mechanism
1x Fixation dressing — supplied in the same package, per the product title and the manufacturer
Presented in a peel-back sterile blister pack with the enhanced ruggerized casing. Approximately 6.0 oz packaged.
Self-contained: No batteries, no separate driver, no assembly and no additional parts are required or supplied.
Safety features built into the device: a rotating safety latch and a required dual-activation sequence.

VIEW ▾What This Is Not — read before ordering

Not a pediatric device. Safeguard Medical indicates the NIO+ Ruggerized for adult patients only. Pediatric and infant IO access use different devices in the NIO family, ordered separately.
Not a drill or a reusable driver. This is a single-use spring-loaded device; there is no battery to maintain and no reusable component to clean between patients.
Not a evidence-based-listed device. The NIO family does not appear on the evidence-based standard-device list, and no device holds evidence-based approval or certification — the only status that exists is evidence-based standard.
Not reusable and not resterilizable. Sterile, single use, then discard.
Not a first-responder item. Intraosseous access is an invasive procedure performed by appropriately trained and credentialed personnel under local protocol.
Not a procedural guide. Site selection, technique and confirmation are clinical decisions made by the trained provider; nothing on this page substitutes for accredited training.

Specifications are as published by PerSys Medical / Safeguard Medical. The indication stated above — adult proximal tibia and proximal humerus — is the manufacturer’s, reproduced as written; this page states no site-selection guidance, no insertion depth guidance and no patient criteria beyond that. Latex content is not published and should not be assumed. Intraosseous vascular access is an invasive procedure performed only by appropriately trained and credentialed personnel within their scope of practice and under local protocol.

▾Who Carries It

TCCC-qualified medics and SOF medical personnel carrying IO capability in load-bearing equipment where a standard housing may take impact, water or temperature cycling - EMS and critical-care services stocking a rugged IO device for jump bags, vehicle-mounted kits and apparatus storage - Law enforcement tactical teams carrying IO capability at IFAK level for officer-down response - Extended and prolonged field care teams where peripheral IV access may fail and IO is the fallback route.

This is a provider-level device. Intraosseous access is invasive and is performed only by appropriately trained and credentialed personnel under their scope of practice and local protocol. This page is product information — not a procedural how-to, not a site-selection guide, and not a substitute for accredited clinical training.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What makes the NIO+ different from the standard NIO Adult?

The NIO+ (Ruggerized) features a hardened housing designed to withstand the harsh conditions of tactical and military field environments — including impact, water, and temperature extremes that could compromise a standard device. Both the NIO+ and NIO Adult use the same 15G spring-loaded automatic insertion mechanism and have the same clinical performance profile; the NIO+ is the recommended choice when device durability under field storage and carry conditions is a priority.

Is the NIO+ Ruggerized CoTCCC-approved?

Intraosseous access via the NIO device family is consistent with CoTCCC guidelines for vascular access when IV access has failed in tactical combat casualty care. Providers should verify current CoTCCC recommendations and confirm that use is within their scope of practice and local protocol.

Can the NIO+ be used in pediatric patients?

No. The NIO+ Ruggerized is indicated for adult patients only. For pediatric patients aged 3–12 years, use the NIO Pediatric™. For infants from gestational age 36 weeks through 3 years (minimum 5 lb / 2.3 kg), use the NIO Infant™ manual device with its Stepped Needle® design.
