Description
The SAM IO Driver is the hand-powered engine of the SAM IO intraosseous access system. There is no battery to charge, no charge state to check on a rig inspection, and nothing to fail in the cold or after a long shelf sit. Repeatedly squeezing the trigger spins the needle assembly while you guide it with gentle downward pressure, giving controlled placement and a clear tactile signal the moment the catheter reaches the medullary space.
Why It Fits Your Program
Battery-free matters most where resupply and maintenance are hard. Fire and EMS agencies, tactical and military medics, wilderness and industrial response teams, and clinics that need IO capability without adding another rechargeable device all land on a manual driver for the same reason: it works when you pick it up, every time. At 2.5 ounces it also disappears into a jump bag rather than claiming a compartment.
What Is Included
- One SAM IO Driver, reusable
- Needles, stabilizer, and adaptor are sold separately

Program Context
A driver is a one-time purchase that sets the reorder pattern for everything after it. Most agencies pair one driver per response bag with a rolling stock of sterile needle sets and a stabilizer, then add a training kit and practice needles so crews stay current. Because the driver is reusable and battery-free, the only recurring line item is the needles themselves.
