Happy Hanukkah!

A day at Dia Beacon. Such a disappointment. We were there years ago when it first opened and were wowed. This time with the exception of the Serra and Warhol exhibits, I didn't understand what was there or why...broken glass, large rectangles out of string, aprons on a wall...have I become a philistine?

Boaters!

Boating season is coming or, for some of you, it’s already here. It’s time to check your on board medical equipment.

AED: Make sure the light is blinking or the green check mark is lit and that the AED is not making noise. Check the date on the battery and pads to make sure they are within expiration. Please call us if you need new pads or batteries or if the AED is blinking red: 212-873-0105.

BP Monitors/Pulse Oximeters, etc.: These take over-the-counter batteries. They should be checked and probably changed every year.

Oxygen: Oxygen does not go bad unless there is a leak or it has been used. Aluminum tanks are supposed to be recertified every 5 years. In actuality, people usually get them recertified when they are refilling the tanks. But it is a good idea to check the amount of O2 in the tank. Full is 2000, time to refill 500. And make sure that the oxygen tubing (nasal cannula and non-rebreather mask) are both in good shape.

Refill items used: Check and see what items may have been used during the past year and refill them as necessary. Call us if you have questions.
Trauma Packs: The QuikClot in your Core Trauma Packs have an expiration date on them. Please check to make sure that the date is still within expiration.

Questions? Call us if you:
• Have any questions about anything in your kit
• Need replacements for expired items.
• Want to purchase new equipment.
• Want Video CPR Training and Certification
