SAM IO Driver, Manual Intraosseous Access System, IO700-EN
The SAM Medical IO700-EN SAM IO Driver is a manually operated, battery-free intraosseous access driver: repeated trigger actuation spins a SAM IO needle assembly that, with gentle downward pressure, gives controlled IO placement.1 It is reusable, weighs 2.5 oz (70.9 g) and is made of rugged polycarbonate.2 Pacific Biomedical supplies it with the other intraosseous access products.
Product Highlights:
- Manual operation: no battery; continuous trigger actuation spins the needle assembly.12
- Tactile feedback: the driver gives tactile feedback when the catheter reaches the medullary space.2
- Durability: polycarbonate driver; MIL-STD 810G test methods were used for harsh-environment durability.1
- Needles: drives 15-gauge SAM IO needles in 15, 25 and 45 mm lengths.1
- Multi-use: the driver is reusable; needles and stabilizers are single use.23
- NSN: 6515-01-694-6094.1

Frequently Asked Questions:
What is the IO700-EN SAM IO driver?
The SAM IO Driver (IO700-EN) is a manually operated, battery-free intraosseous access driver made of polycarbonate.1
How does the IO700-EN SAM IO Driver work?
Attach a SAM IO needle assembly, then continuously actuate the trigger while applying gentle, steady downward pressure; the rotation of the needle, not downward force, penetrates the bone. A subtle "give" or "pop" signals entry into the medullary space, and the stylet comes out with the driver.4
What is the IO700-EN driver made of?
Polycarbonate, chosen for durability; MIL-STD 810G test methods were used for harsh-environment use.1
Does the SAM IO driver need batteries on IO700-EN?
No. The SAM IO driver is manually operated and does not rely on battery power.1
How big is the SAM IO driver on IO700-EN?
The driver measures 5.5 x 1 x 4.25 in (14.0 x 2.5 x 10.8 cm) and weighs 2.5 oz (70.9 g).2
Is the SAM IO driver reusable on IO700-EN?
Yes. The driver is multi-use; SAM IO needles and stabilizers are sterile, single-use parts.23
What needles fit the SAM IO driver on IO700-EN?
15-gauge SAM IO needles in 15 mm, 25 mm and 45 mm lengths, each sold as a 1-pack or a 5-pack.1
What gauge is IO?
IO700-EN: SAM IO needles are 15 gauge.1
What insertion sites are used with SAM IO on IO700-EN?
Site selection follows institutional protocol. SAM IO training kits simulate the proximal humerus, proximal tibia and distal tibia.45
Which FDA clearance covers the SAM IO driver on IO700-EN?
The FDA GUDID record for IO700-EN carries premarket submission K191488 under product code FMI.3
