The Essential Step: Why Training is Mandatory for Your NTDKIT

The NTDKIT is a powerful, compact solution designed for one purpose: stopping life-threatening bleeding. It contains advanced medical tools, including a specialized hemostatic device, that can mean the difference between life and death in the critical minutes following a severe injury.

However, a tool this powerful requires more than just good intentions. For your safety, the casualty's safety, and for legal compliance, comprehensive training is mandatory before using any component of the NTDKIT. Here’s why we insist that every user is a trained user.

1. The Legal Requirement: Competency Trumps Profession

In the UK, the legal authority to use a medical device is not solely restricted to a specific profession, like a doctor or a paramedic. Instead, it is determined by documented training and competency.

• High-Risk Classification: The key bleeding control solution in the NTDKIT is classified as a Class III CE Marked Medical Device. This is the highest classification, reserved for devices that pose a significant risk to the patient and require strict regulation.

• Manufacturer’s Instructions: The manufacturer explicitly states that the product is intended for use by "trained emergency responders". Using the kit without this specific training could be seen as acting outside the product's intended purpose, potentially exposing the user to significant legal liability if harm occurs.

Our business model, which includes providing complete training, directly addresses this legal and safety requirement, enabling you to use the kit in a legally compliant and medically responsible manner.

2. The Medical Imperative: Understanding the Science

When faced with massive trauma, you need to act quickly and accurately. Training provides the theoretical foundation to make split-second, informed decisions, ensuring the device is used correctly and effectively.

• Indications and Risks: Training clearly defines when to use the product (life-threatening external bleeding) and when not to (minor cuts, head trauma, etc.), mitigating the risk of incorrect application and potential further injury.

• Independent Action: The hemostatic agent works via a unique, physical process—it creates a robust, gel-like plug that mechanically stops the bleeding. Crucially, this mechanism works independently of the body’s natural clotting cascade. This means it remains effective even if the casualty is on blood-thinning medications or is suffering from hypothermia (severe cold), conditions that often compromise natural clotting.

3. The Three Pillars of NTDKIT Training: Competence for Crisis

THEORETICAL KNOWLEDGE

Master the 'Why' and 'When'

Learn the science behind the hemostatic agent, its unique mechanism of action (independent of natural clotting), and the strict legal protocols and medical indications for its use.

Develop the 'How'

Engage in hands-on, scenario-based drills to build muscle memory for essential trauma skills: rapid scene assessment, proper wound packing, and the correct, safe delivery of the product

PRACTICAL SKILLS

COMPETENCY ASSESSMENT

Documented Competence

Complete a formal knowledge test and a practical proficiency test to prove your ability to use the kit effectively under pressure, securing your certification and legal compliance.
