I posted a request last year regarding SWAT/ERT medical kit contents and got good information. For our brothers and sisters in the military I have another question: are you finding it difficult or impossible to get the Alaris Minimed 3 channel IV pump? They have been removed from the civilian market however the IV sets are still available. These pumps are ideal for our civilian med-evac team. The prevailing thought is that all inventory is being diverted to combat units and will be for the forseeable future. Can anyone comment on availability for military useage?
Thanks
