Arrow™ EZ-IO™
Intraosseous Vascular Access System
The Arrow™ EZ-IO™ System is designed to provide vascular access in time-sensitive situations. Supported by over 15 years of clinical research and proven1 success, the EZ-IO™ System offers a fast2 and effective3 option for patients with difficult vascular access (DVA) with a well documented safety profile.

When every moment matters, it’s time to rethink DVA.
In a medical emergency, you may be ready but unfortunately some veins are not. The Arrow™ EZ-IO™ System supports your success by enabling fast2 access when you encounter patients with difficult vascular access.
The Arrow™ EZ-IO™ System provides immediate access via the intraosseous route8 for DVA cases that are emergent, urgent, or medically necessary, such as cardiac, shock, respiratory, and neurologic cases.

Sepsis Kills a Patient in the U.S. Every 2.3 Minutes15
Overall, it kills more than AIDS and breast, colon, pancreatic, and prostate cancer combined16,17
But as many as 80% of sepsis deaths could be prevented with rapid diagnosis and treatment18
IV fluid resuscitation initiation administered within 30 minutes may decrease sepsis mortality rates and hospital length of stay19
Early antibiotics—ideally within the first hour—make a difference20
A study has shown that mortality increases 7.6% for every hour of delay in IV antibiotics18
In patients with DVA, central venous catheter (CVC) access and peripheral IV (PIV) access can take longer and are less likely to be successful when compared with IO.32,33
