Off-Topic: Firefighter Rehab Scanner

[Guest guest]

I know this is a little off-topic, however, I work in Bexar County, and the

majority of VFD ID badges are STRAC badges. They have a barcode on the back.

I have heard tell that there is a device out there wherein you can enter

medical information for a firefighter, then if you're on scene and something

happens, you can scan the bar code on their badge and the information will

pop up on this portable device. Does anyone know specifically what the name

of that device is, or know of anything similar? I'm asking simply out of my

own curiosity.

Thank you for your time and assistance.
