Apparatus and Methods To Install, Support And/or Monitor Performance Of Intraosseous Devices
First Claim
1. A system for monitoring performance of an intraosseous device, comprising:
- an intraosseous device comprising;
a tip configured to penetrate bone and bone marrow such that the tip is disposed in the bone marrow;
an end opposite from the tip configured to be disposed outside of the bone marrow; and
a longitudinal bore extending from the tip to the end opposite from the tip;
a sensor contained within the tip;
a monitor configured to record a signal from the sensor; and
an electrical conductor coupled to the sensor and configured to transmit the signal from the sensor to the monitor, the electrical conductor extending through the longitudinal bore of the intraosseous device.

Abstract
Apparatus and methods may be provided to monitor performance of an intraosseous device, including a system comprising an intraosseous device, a sensor contained within a tip of the intraosseous device, a monitor configured to record a signal from the sensor, and an electrical conductor coupled to the sensor and configured to transmit the signal from the sensor to the monitor. The tip of the intraosseous device may be configured to penetrate bone and bone marrow such that the tip is disposed in the bone marrow. In certain embodiments, the tip may also include a side port for delivering fluids into the bone marrow.
