Surge capacity systems
FSI offers one of the world's largest ranges of heavy-duty pneumatic and structural shelters from 100-1,500 sq. ft. and larger. All FSI shelters can be interconnected in a spoke-and-hub design to create modular, scalable multiple-use facilities. FSI systems are ideal for incidents ranging from hours to days and even weeks, and when ease and speed of deployment, limited storage space and budgets are critical decision factors.

Thumper meets AHA guidelines
In response to the new AHA guidelines for CPR, Michigan Instruments has released two new models of its mechanical CPR device, commonly known as the Thumper. The new models are the 1007CC, which provides continuous chest compressions, and the 1007CCV, which provides the features of the 1007CC and adds the capability of ventilation. The new models employ high-impulse chest-compression technology that's been shown to significantly improve resuscitation compared to previous Thumpers and manual CPR. Sustained use of the Thumper has been reported to revive patients to a conscious state. The Thumper is an oxygen-powered piston device that has been an adjunct to many ambulance and fire departments for over 40 years. The new 1007CC and 1007CCV models provide consistent, AHA-compliant compressions with a depth of 1½-2 inches and 50% time in compression and 50% time in relaxation for each cycle.
