Quick Overview

The Luminary Multi-Victim Bleeding Control Station is a wall-mounted, public-access hemorrhage control system containing six individual trauma kits that enables building occupants and bystanders to deliver immediate, life-sustaining intervention for severe external bleeding across up to six casualties before professional responders arrive.

This station is designed to meet California Regulation AB2260 requirements for installation in newly constructed public and commercial buildings. The system's primary deployment contexts are high-stakes, low-frequency events including active assailant incidents, industrial accidents, and natural disasters. Two deployment protocols are supported: distributing individual kits for isolated casualties, or transporting the entire six-kit carry bag to a casualty collection point when multiple victims require simultaneous intervention.

Each of the six identical, vacuum-sealed kits contains a Windlass Tourniquet for extremity hemorrhage, a Hema-Seal Trauma Dressing for torso and junctional wounds, nitrile exam gloves for body substance isolation, bandage shears for wound exposure, a permanent marker for documenting tourniquet application time, and a STOP the BLEED reference booklet. The metal wall cabinet features a clear window for at-a-glance inventory confirmation and an optional audible alarm that alerts others upon opening. All components are single-use and rated for external hemorrhage control only.

Readiness is the responsibility of the building owner or safety manager. The station requires a monthly inspection covering cabinet integrity, alarm function, seal status on all six kits, and a documented log entry. If any kit is used, the entire system is taken out of service until fully resupplied using replacement kits under SKU 91519.

Field Application Steps

1. SCENE ASSESSMENT AND SAFETY: Confirm the area is safe before approaching. If the scene is not safe, do not enter. Your first obligation is to avoid creating an additional casualty.

2. ACCESS THE CABINET: Proceed to the wall cabinet and open the door. Note that an audible alarm may activate upon opening, which will alert others to the emergency.

3. SELECT THE CORRECT DEPLOYMENT METHOD: For a single isolated casualty, remove one individual kit. For multiple casualties, remove the entire Multiple Victim Carry Bag and transport it to the casualty collection point.

4. DON NITRILE GLOVES: Before any patient contact, open the first available kit and put on the nitrile exam gloves. This step is non-negotiable and establishes body substance isolation against blood and body fluids.

5. EXPOSE AND IDENTIFY THE WOUND: Use the bandage shears to cut away clothing, belts, or gear over the injury site. Identify the source of the most severe bleeding and look for bright red spurting blood indicating arterial hemorrhage or continuous heavy flow.

6. APPLY TOURNIQUET FOR EXTREMITY WOUNDS: If the wound is on an arm or leg, route the Windlass Tourniquet strap 2 to 3 inches above the wound. Do not place it over a joint or over items in a pocket. Pull the strap tight and secure it with the hook-and-loop fastener.

7. TIGHTEN AND LOCK THE TOURNIQUET: Twist the windlass rod until bleeding stops completely. Secure the rod in its locking clip. Expect the procedure to cause pain for the casualty. This is both expected and necessary for effective hemorrhage control.

8. DOCUMENT TOURNIQUET APPLICATION TIME: Use the permanent marker to write the time of application on the tourniquet's time strap or on the casualty's forehead in the format T-HHMM. This information is critical for receiving medical professionals.

9. APPLY TRAUMA DRESSING FOR NON-EXTREMITY WOUNDS: If the wound is on the torso, shoulder, hip, or groin, open the Hema-Seal Trauma Dressing and place the sterile non-adherent pad directly onto the wound. Apply immediate, firm pressure with both hands.

10. WRAP AND SECURE THE DRESSING: Wrap the elastic bandage tightly around the body part and use the integrated pressure bar to focus pressure directly over the wound. Secure with the closing hooks. If bleeding continues, apply additional manual pressure over the dressing.

11. MONITOR AND REASSESS: Continuously monitor the casualty and the applied intervention. If a tourniquet or dressing fails, reassess the application and correct it, or apply a second device from the kit. Keep the casualty warm to prevent hypothermia while awaiting professional responders.

12. EXECUTE VERBAL HANDOFF: When professional responders arrive, deliver a clear, concise report identifying the casualty, the intervention applied, the body location, and the time of application. Transfer care completely before stepping back.
