Algorithm needs review

I review the treatment algorithm periodically. The app recommends keeping the affected limb at or slightly above heart level. Venom docs are now recommending elevating the affected limb up to 45 degrees when possible. I didn’t notice anything else but this is probably a good time to have it reviewed. Also, in keeping with “time is tissue”, a tool or advice aimed at finding facilities with significant stocks of anti-venom would be valuable. Maybe poison control has that information, IDK. I wouldn’t want to arrive at an ER only to find out that they only stock six vials of Crofab and just used them on someone else. I’d rather drive another thirty minutes to a facility that was properly stocked.

Used to be a great app

There is no longer a quick way to see which of the local trauma centers has crofab in stock. As the stocking levels are irregular, it was a tremendously valuable feature, as there is no point in turning up at one of two equidistant trauma centers, if it only has a single dose in stock, and the other has 14.

I can teach myself species ID on Wikipedia. For me, the value was entirely in the stocking levels.

Thank you for your feedback. The hospital locator can be found on the CroFab website at https://crofab.com/locating-and-ordering/locate-crofab.

Where is the Crofab locator?

The earlier version of the app allowed users to locate hospitals carrying Crofab by typing in a zip code. It appears that this important feature is no longer available. It’s important to be able to quickly determine which hospitals carry Crofab. I’d hate to end up at a hospital that doesn’t carry it; as the app notes, “time is tissue”.

Location waaaaay off

I just tried to explore this app, so I’d know my options if I’m ever in a crisis.
I’m in austin Texas and the ‘hospitals’ button only gave me places in Kansas.

Please address this because it seems to me that is one of the more important features.

Something very wrong

When I click on hospitals it only shows Kansas when I am in Florida. Limits value.

No location

Useless if it cannot find my location and provide a list of hospitals. I tried deleting and reinstalling, still defaulting to Kansas both times and I cannot override it by moving the map.

it cannot find my location…

I have selected for this app to be able to access my precise location any time I open the app. I wanted to see which hospitals in Austin, TX carry crofab. I clicked the find a hospital, the map selected Austin TX then the app errored and said my location could not be found and defaulted to somewhere in Northern Kansas. I tried contacting support, but their page has been disabled. very disappointed.

Texas Coral Snake not listed in Texas snakes

When looking under the snakes in Indiana, I saw that it lists the coral snake and even lists the Texas coral snake as a subspecies of coral snakes in the US. However it is not listed under snakes in Texas, any reason why it isn’t?

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback and highlighting this discrepancy. The focus of SnakeBite911 is on North American Pit Vipers. Given that the coral snake does not fall into this category, we will be removing them from the Snake Education Center in the near future.

An ER Must-Have!

This is a pretty functional app. It shows mixing instructions, interventions and algorithms in regards to snakebite management and antivenin administration.

It beats finding an unused computer, logging in and printing off info at the Crofab website. Now I can reference the info from my phone at the bedside if needed.

Needs fixing!

I cannot get past the initial page to agree to the terms without the app crashing. Very disappointed since it was recommended by the crofab reps at my facility.
