MedAire, an international SOS company, has released a new edition of its Global MedKit to coincide with the Monaco Yacht Show.

The MedAire Global MedKit includes equipment and medications for common medical concerns and life threatening incidents.
 
The latest version improves on its logical assembly with a refined bag design and internal components to aid in finding medications and materials as quickly as possible.  Medication upgrades include improved on board antibiotic therapy and additional options for intraosseous (IO) devices, including the EZ-IO Intraosseous Infusion System for immediate vascular access for fluids and medications.

Crew receive assistance with inventory management and helpful medical information via the companion software, MedAire Medical Management System (MMS). MedAire MMS is fully integrated with MedLink, its dedicated telemedicine centre where doctors are available to remotely assist yacht crew and guests at sea and ashore. The same 24/7 service is used by airlines.

The integration provides MedLink doctors visibility into the medical equipment on board a vessel, saving valuable time when administering assistance to a patient.
 
“Last year at Monaco Yacht Show, MedAire and Yacht Lifeline announced our merger,” said Steven Bates, GM of Luxury Yachts for MedAire and previous CEO of Yacht Lifeline. “This year, we are excited to launch the culmination of the latest medical kit, the best of both worlds, the 2013 MedAire Global MedKit.”

MedAire will also showcase the MedAire Member Portal at Monaco. An online resource, MedAire Member Portal provides up-to-the-minute alerts on disease outbreaks, security concerns by location, helpful pre-travel advice, health risk ratings, recommended hospitals and clinics, vaccine recommendations and personal security advice.

MedAire is at the Monaco Yacht Show on Quai Jarlan, QJ1.
