FIGS. 7A and 7B show another embodiment of the present disclosure including powered driver 330 j disposed within cradle 280 a. Cradle 280 a may include arms 284 a as described in relation to FIG. 3b . Arms 284 a may be relatively strong with sufficient flexibility to allow inserting and removing portions of powered driver 330 j from engagement with cradle 280 a. The height of arms 284 a relative to adjacent longitudinal edges of cradle 280 a may be based at least in part on the corresponding dimensions of handle 336 and other portions of housing 332. The spacing or gap formed between arms 284 may be selected to accommodate the width of handle 336.
1. A powered driver operable to insert an intraosseous device into a bone and associated bone marrow comprising:
a housing having one end of a rotatable drive shaft extending therefrom;
the one end of the drive shaft operable to releasably and slidably engage the intraosseous device such that the intraosseous device is rotatably fixed relative to the drive shaft;
a switch connected to the electrical circuits, the switch operable to activate the motor to rotate the drive shaft;
the drive shaft extending from the gear assembly opposite from the motor; and
the gear assembly operable to reduce rotation of the motor,
where the gear assembly is operable to reduce the rotation of the motor by a ratio between approximately sixty to one and eighty to one.
2. The powered driver of claim 1 further comprising an impact mechanism operable to allow the motor and an associated gearbox to function as an impact wrench whereby the impact mechanism may reduce the amount of power taken from batteries during insertion of an intraosseous device.
3. The powered driver of claim 1 further comprising a power circuit sensor operable to detect current changes indicating bone penetration by the intraosseous device.
4. The powered driver of claim 3 further comprising the power circuit sensor operable to automatically stop the driver once the intraosseous device has penetrated a cortex of the bone.
5. The powered driver of claim 1 further comprising a portion of the housing operable to be placed in a wall mounted charging system to provide a constant charge to the power supply.
6. The powered driver of claim 1 further comprising:
7. The powered driver of claim 1 further comprising a red indicator light operable to indicate excessive torque and/or pressure on the drive shaft.
8. The powered driver of claim 1 further comprising a digital volt meter operable to indicate percentage of power available in the power source and number of insertions available without requiring recharging or replacement of the power source.
9. The powered driver of claim 1 further comprising a digital amp meter operable to indicate percentage of power available in the power source and number of insertions available without requiring recharging or replacement of the power source.
10. The powered driver of claim 1 where the switch and the electrical circuits are operable to rotate the drive shaft at a first low speed and a second higher speed.
11. The powered driver of claim 1 where the switch and the electrical circuits are operable to vary the speed of rotation of the drive shaft.
12. A powered driver operable to insert an intraosseous device into a bone and associated bone marrow comprising:
a switch connected to the electrical circuits, the switch operable to activate the motor to rotate the drive shaft; and
a fiber optic cable extending from a light emitting diode to a halo light disposed on one end of the housing.
13. An apparatus operable to insert an intraosseous device into a bone and associated bone marrow and to assist with other medical procedures comprising:
a powered driver having a housing with one end of a rotatable drive shaft extending therefrom;
a switch connected to the electrical circuits;
the switch operable to activate the motor to rotate the drive shaft; and
a suction pump having a connector operable to be releasably engaged with the one end of the drive shaft whereby the powered driver may operate the pump via rotation of the drive shaft.
an impact mechanism operable to allow the motor and an associated gearbox to function as an impact wrench whereby the impact mechanism may reduce the amount of power taken from batteries during insertion of an intraosseous device.
15. The powered driver of claim 14 further comprising a power circuit sensor operable to detect current changes indicating bone penetration by the intraosseous device.
16. The powered driver of claim 15 further comprising the power circuit sensor operable to automatically stop the driver once the intraosseous device has penetrated a cortex of the bone.
17. The powered driver of claim 14 further comprising a portion of the housing operable to be placed in a wall mounted charging system to provide a constant charge to the power supply.
18. The powered driver of claim 14 further comprising:
19. The powered driver of claim 14 further comprising a red indicator light operable to indicate excessive torque and/or pressure on the drive shaft.
20. The powered driver of claim 14 where the switch and the electrical circuits are operable to rotate the drive shaft at a first low speed and a second higher speed.
