Abstract

There are approximately 17 million intubation procedures executed in the United States alone and 50 million procedures worldwide, making respiratory intubation a core procedure performed within the emergency medical department. The Solo-RSI is a medical device that will provide clinicians with an organizational tool that can deliver faster and more successful rapid sequence intubations, both in the emergency room and out in the field. Current solutions lack standardization of the intubation process and are heavily dependent on intubation proficiency and procedure experience. Our team has designed the Solo-RSI virtual prototype with specific components for storage, a designated area for a head rest, and holders with easy accessibility to provide optimal organization and holding assistance for all the instruments needed when performing an intubation procedure. The Solo-RSI has gone through rigorous virtual testing to ensure both the strength of material and ease of maneuverability to help secure patients undergoing this procedure. This medical device is categorized under Emergency Medicine and will be classified by the FDA as a class I medical device. Lastly, we plan to direct our focus in marketing the Solo-RSI to hospitals and emergency responders, so our product will need to meet the standards in place that will allow it to be stored and used within various settings, whether it be in the back of an ambulance or on a hospital bed.
