Cadaver Testing to Validate Design Criteria of an Adult Intraosseous Infusion System
Bibliographic record
Abstract
INTRODUCTION: The FAST 1 intraosseous (IO) infusion system was designed to deliver fluids and medications into the adult sternum in the prehospital and battlefield environments. OBJECTIVE: To test the prototype in 106 cadavers and excised sterna and compare it with other IO devices. RESULTS: The insertion force was similar to that of other IO devices (mean, 8.5 kg; range, 2.3-19.6 kg). In 39 of 39 trials, the depth-control mechanism inserted the portal within 1.0 mm of a predetermined distance below the anterior surface of the cortical bone. If misplaced, underpenetration was more likely than overpenetration (mean displacement, -0.3 mm; SD, 0.5 mm). After release, the portal could not be advanced further into the manubrium. Marrow was accessed in 75 of 77 trials. Mean flow rates were 109 mL/min for normal saline solution and 102 mL/min for hypertonic saline/dextran, similar to the Cook Sur-Fast device. CONCLUSION: The cadaver and bench tests demonstrated the reliability and safety of the FAST 1 system at the design/prototype stage.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
