Grant Funding for EOlife Ventilation Devices & Trainers
Grant Funding May Cover Your Agency's Ventilation Program
Opioid settlement dollars and state grant programs are reaching EMS agencies, fire departments, and EMS training programs nationwide — and resuscitation equipment and responder training are named priorities. Find out whether EOlife ventilation feedback devices and trainers qualify for funding in your community.

Opioids kill by shutting down respiration. Naloxone reverses the drug — but it takes minutes to work, and the patient survives those minutes only if they are ventilated well. Delivering the right volume at the right rate with a bag-valve mask is one of the hardest skills in prehospital care to perform consistently, especially under stress.
Naloxone Alone Is Not the Whole Answer
Reversal agents need time to take effect. Effective bag-valve-mask ventilation is what carries an apneic patient through that window — and it is the step most often performed poorly in the field.
EOlife Measures Every Breath
EOlife by Archeon Medical attaches between the mask and the bag, giving responders real-time feedback on tidal volume, frequency, and mask leak — turning guesswork into measurable ventilation quality.
Train It Before You Need It
EOlife trainers let EMS schools and departments build genuine ventilation competency in the classroom, with objective data instructors can use to certify skill — not just attendance.
Funding Streams Your Agency May Be Able to Tap
More than $50 billion in national opioid settlement funds is being distributed to states and local governments over the coming years, and supporting first responders is a named core strategy. Depending on your state and county, one or more of the following may apply.
Opioid Settlement Funds
State and local settlement allocations explicitly permit spending on airway management and resuscitation equipment for overdose response, plus training and support for emergency services professionals. Agencies across the country are already securing equipment this way.
State Opioid Response Programs
Many states channel federal opioid response dollars into sub-grants for first responder equipment, naloxone programs, and overdose response training. Eligibility and cycles vary by state.
Federal First Responder Grants
Programs supporting first responders who address opioid emergencies — along with broader fire and EMS grant vehicles — can fund training equipment and response capability upgrades.
Local & Foundation Grants
County health departments, hospital foundations, and community foundations frequently fund overdose response initiatives, particularly those pairing equipment with a training plan.
Funding availability, eligibility, and allowable uses vary by state, county, and program cycle. AED Professionals can help you identify what may apply to your agency, but final eligibility decisions rest with the administering body.

Grant Funding FAQ
Is this really "free" funding?
Opioid settlement allocations and grant awards do not have to be repaid, but they are not automatic. Your agency must apply through the appropriate state, county, or program channel, and awards depend on eligibility and available funds. We help you find the right channel and prepare a competitive request.
Does EOlife qualify as an allowable expense?
Settlement spending guidance names airway management and resuscitation equipment for overdose response, along with training and support for emergency services professionals, as approved uses. Ventilation feedback devices and trainers fit squarely within those categories, though the administering body makes the final determination for each award.
What is EOlife, exactly?
EOlife, made by Archeon Medical, is a ventilation feedback device that sits between the bag and the mask during manual ventilation. It measures insufflated volume, ventilation frequency, and mask leak in real time, so responders know — rather than guess — that the patient is being ventilated effectively. Trainer versions bring the same feedback to the classroom.
We're an EMS school, not an agency. Can we access funding?
Often, yes. Training and workforce development are recognized priorities in many settlement plans and state programs, and some funds flow through community colleges, hospital systems, or regional EMS councils. We can help you identify the path that fits your institution.
What does AED Professionals provide for the application?
Formal quotes, product specifications, W-9 and vendor documentation, suggested training plan language, and responsive support for procurement questions. We have supported public safety and institutional buyers for more than 20 years.
