Re: IABP use

["Andrea Snyder" <asnyder@bellatlantic.net>]

We have 2 dedicated Datascope IAB consoles assigned to our program that are
maintained by clinical engineering without any problems.  1 is kept at our
remote base & the other is kept at the base hospital so either is available
at any time for use.
We transport from any requesting facility and it does not matter what the
destination point is.
