The FAST1™ Intraosseous Infusion System is designed to establish a sternal intraosseous access route to patients when standard venous access is not possible. Using the sternal IO access route, providers can rapidly deliver lifesaving fluids and medications
1-3 to facilitate emergency resuscitation through the bone marrow space. FAST1
™ can be effectively used during CPR and when a cervical spine collar is in place.
