Midstate EMS would like to send out a HUGE thank you to all of the Medical Volunteers who helped out with this year’s Boilermaker Road Race! With over 225 medical volunteers manning the aid stations, medical tents, ambulances, UTV’s and bike teams we are the largest group of volunteers for the race. Everyone who came out to help is greatly appreciated! We had several new agencies (Frankfort Center FD and Waterville FD to name a few) who joined our long standing, tried-and-true agencies who return year after year. 2019’s race stand-by was a success and we can’t wait to work with all of you again next year!
On the morning of Sunday, July 14, 2019, there will be several road closures for the Boilermaker Road Race. Most road closings will begin between 5:30 a.m. and 6 a.m. Roads should re-open after 11 a.m. on Sunday. Alternate routes must be used to access both the St. Luke’s and Faxton Campuses.
The St. Luke’s Campus will only be accessible via the Burrstone Road – Eastbound entrance. There will be no access through Champlin Avenue.

Problem:
In a May 28, 2019, Urgent Device Correction letter submitted by an ECRI Institute member hospital, ZOLL states that the above electrodes used with
ZOLL R Series, M Series, E Series, and X Series defibrillators may have been assembled incorrectly, potentially causing the defibrillators to display a “Check Pads” or “Pads Off” message and prevent the defibrillator from delivering therapy. ZOLL also states that there is no visual indication to the user on the electrodes that the product is not assembled correctly.
Action Needed:
Identify, isolate, and discontinue use of any affected product in your inventory. If you have affected product, verify that you have received the May 28, 2019, Urgent Device Correction letter and Response Form from ZOLL. Complete the Response Form, and return it to ZOLL. A ZOLL representative will contact your facility to coordinate the return and replacement of affected electrodes. Notify all relevant personnel at your facility of the information in the letter.
