The following devices and categories of devices have been reviewed by OEMS. Advisories are on the OEMS web page regarding usage and restrictions, if any.

As with any device operated under the license of the ambulance service, the ambulance service must ensure that the specific device is FDA approved and that their EMTs are properly trained, refreshed in their training, and have demonstrated competency under the direction of their affiliate hospital medical director, as per the manufacturer’s recommendations and usage, prior to allowing such device on the ambulance. This list will be updated as new devices are approved by the Department.
