North American Rescue — Sharps Containment Sharps Shuttle A compact, point-of-use sharps container that holds up to six needles point-first in a 1.25″ × 6.5″ body — built to drop into a leg rig or trauma pack for bedside disposal during IV and IO procedures. Holds 6 needles1.5 ozPoint-first entryLocking cap Needle-stick injury is one of the most preventable hazards in medicine, and field conditions make it worse — working under stress, in bad light, with no bench to organize on. A loose needle after an IV start is an exposure waiting to happen. Where does the needle go the instant the line is in? The Sharps Shuttle is a purpose-built point-of-use container that drops straight into a leg rig or trauma pack, keeping disposal at the point of the procedure instead of across the scene. The vertical point-first entry guides needles in sharp-end-down for safer one-handed disposal; the clear body shows fill level at a glance; and the quick-tab locking cap secures it against accidental opening during movement. 1.25″ diameter, 6.5″ long, 1.5 oz, single-use. Built for the Point of Care Point-First Entry Vertical sharp-end-down design reduces hand contact with the tip during one-handed disposal. Holds Up to 6 Needles Enough capacity for the needles of a typical IV/IO sequence without overfilling. Clear Body See the fill level at a glance and swap before it's overloaded. Quick-Tab Locking Cap Snap cap stays shut through movement and transport.

Specifications Manufacturer North American Rescue SKU 30-0014 Dimensions 1.25″ diameter × 6.5″ length Weight 1.5 oz Capacity Up to 6 needles Entry Vertical, point-first Closure Quick-tab locking snap cap Body Clear/translucent with red lid Use Single-use, disposable When To Use It context: Point of injury needle disposal — after ARS or SPEAR needle decompression, the needle is immediately capped and stored in the Sharps Shuttle rather than recapped on the catheter. context: Field IV catheter sharps management — used needles from saline-lock kits are contained safely during casualty movement and evacuation. context: Training environment — Sharps Shuttle provides OSHA-compliant needle disposal for training scenarios involving needle decompression or IV cannulation. context: Pre-hospital EMS sharps compliance — meets sharps disposal requirements for EMS providers in austere and transport settings. Best practice: Never recap a used needle freehand — use the Sharps Shuttle one-handed scoop technique to contain the needle without directing the sharp toward the hand. How It Compares Sharps Shuttle vs. improvised needle caps: Improvised recapping with fingers or teeth is a needlestick injury risk; the Sharps Shuttle provides a one-handed, OSHA-compliant containment method in a field-portable format. See surgical supplies. Sharps Shuttle vs. standard sharps containers: Standard sharps containers are large, rigid, and not field-portable; the Sharps Shuttle is designed for carry on the operator, pouch, or medic bag for immediate point-of-use containment. See IFAK kits. Single-use vs. reusable sharps containers: The Sharps Shuttle is designed for tactical/field use; in a high-volume EMS environment, full-size sharps containers are more appropriate for facility disposal. See chest and thoracic supplies. Frequently Asked Questions Q: Is the NAR Sharps Shuttle CoTCCC-recommended? A: The Sharps Shuttle is a sharps safety device, not a medical treatment device; CoTCCC recommendations focus on clinical interventions. The Sharps Shuttle supports safe execution of CoTCCC-recommended needle decompression and IV procedures by providing compliant needle disposal at point of injury. Q: What training is needed to use the Sharps Shuttle? A: Any provider performing needle-based procedures (ARS, SPEAR, IV cannulation) should be trained in the one-handed scoop technique for safe needle disposal. This is covered in TCCC and OSHA-compliant sharps handling curricula. Q: How many needles does the Sharps Shuttle hold? A: Verify capacity in the current product specification. The Sharps Shuttle is designed for field carry of limited-use needles typical of an individual IFAK or medic bag, not for bulk disposal. Q: What is the NSN or procurement path for the Sharps Shuttle? A: Available through MED-TAC International. Agency and DoD procurement can contact NAR for current GSA contract vehicle and NSN status. Q: Can the Sharps Shuttle be used with SPEAR and ARS needles? A: Yes. The Sharps Shuttle is designed to contain the needle after withdrawal from both the SPEAR and ARS needle decompression systems, as well as IV catheter introducers, allowing safe, one-handed disposal at point of injury.
