Abstract
An intraosseous access system includes a driver, a needle, and an obturator positioned in the needle to prevent entry of bodily tissues into the lumen. The driver includes control logic configured to modify operation of the driver upon an indication that a change in modality is detected. The obturator includes a sensor such as an electrical impedance sensor. The electrical impedance sensor can include a passive RFID chip configured to activate when the change in modality is detected.
