Emergency medical information
Anyone who receives equipment related injuries while operating high-pressure water equipment
should be given immediate hospital attention. It is vital that waterjet operators carry a waterproof
emergency medical tag or card that describes their work and the nature of injuries inherent in using
waterjet cutting devices.
This card provides general purpose information to aid in relaying information to medical or emergency
personnel.
MEDICAL ALERT
This card is to be carried by personnel working
with high-pressure waterjet equipment. Obtain
medical treatment immediately for ANY high-
pressure waterjet injuries.

This person has been working with water jetting at pressures to
60,000- psi (4,137bar) with a jet velocity of 2000fps (610 mps) .
This should be taken into account during diagnosis. Unusual
infections with microaerophilic organisms occurring at lower
temperatures have been reported. These may be gram-negative
pathogens, such as those found in sewage. Bacterial swabs and
blood cultures may therefore be helpful. A
local poison control
center should be contacted for additional treatment information.
