When Patient Tracking speed and accuracy are paramount!
Communications and information exchange are the American Medical Association's (AMA) and the
American Public Health Association's (APHA) second highest priority in preparing the nation's health
system against terrorist and other potential mass casualty events. With the health system already
overwhelmed, its ability to respond to terrorist or natural disasters will be severely limited without easily
deployable, integrated, and easy to operate equipment.

Supporting the AMA/APHA goals, our TRA-KIT™ is a multi-user "Briefcase Patient Tracking Center."
Our lightweight, battery powered, man portable patient tracking center also contains a robust
communications platform capable of providing Disaster Medical Assistance Teams (DMAT), health
departments, hospitals and Emergency Medical Service (EMS) and other first responders the ability to
efficiently input and track patient condition and location information. Combined with your preferred
Patient Tracking Software, the TRA-KIT™ provides a robust method to expedite movement of patients
during stressful situations.
Using the TRA-KIT™ reachback communications capabilities, your field Teams can also establish
satellite or cellular based communications to coordinate with each other and also with emergency operations
centers, hospitals, and related locations around the globe.

Customized for your needs, the TRA-KIT™ can easily be operated from a car, boat
or even placed on an All Terrain Vehicle (ATV) allowing you to register and account for patients
at a casualty collection point, evacuation center or field hospital anywhere!
Equipped with multiple handheld mobile scanners/PDAs/card swipe/proximity card readers,
Multiple First Responders can use a single TRA-KIT™ to quickly initiate patient registration and medical
condition documentation by scanning an existing patient ID (bar code, prox card, etc) or use the TRA-
KIT to create a bar code label on-scene.
User Agencies have identified the following benefits to TRA-KIT™ deployment.
• Monitor movement of patients and transfer of patient information across agency
jurisdictions.
• Track decontamination efforts during a CBRE incident.
• Enhance response and communication capabilities to both urban and rural events.
• Enhance service to Special Need populations.
• Improve learning during Agency training, drills and exercise events.
• Enhance implementation of the statewide EMS mutual aid plan.
• Speed dissemination of family member location/status information.
• Provide advanced notification of incoming patients.
• Integrates with the Incident Command Structure (ICS).
• Support deployment of pharmaceutical caches.
• Print pharmaceutical prescription drug labels and field dispense prescription drugs.
• Print tracking barcode labels and wristbands.
• And more......
Using the handheld scanners/PDAs/cardswipe/prox card readers, Team members can register patients
and evacuees, document their condition and identify their current location. As patients move to other
hospitals or evacuation centers the information can quickly be transmitted to a receiving location or the
TRA-KIT™ can move with patients to a new location. From triage to release, casualties can now be
accurately accounted for.
308 Systems looks forward to working with you and customizing the TRA-KIT™ to meet your specific
operational requirements.

your needs, please view our Civilian
TRA-KIT™ Configurator page.
