Which hand-powered IO color corresponds to a Sternal IO?

• A. Blue - Tibial and Humeral IO
• B. Red - Sternal IO
• C. Purple - Sternal IO
• D. Green - Sternal IO

Answer: (D)

Color coding in hand-powered IO kits helps you identify the insertion site at a glance. In this scheme, the sternum (sternal) IO is indicated by green, distinguishing it from other sites. The blue code is used for tibial and humeral IO, while red or purple are associated with other configurations or sites, so green is the correct match for a Sternal IO in this context.
