What is the cross that represents medical services called?

The "Star of Life," as it is called, is like a cross except that the cross piece is actually two pieces forming an "X." It usually has a caduceous in the center (the snake on a staff). Each arm of the Star of Life represents one of six areas of responsible and compassionate medical care; detection, reporting, response, on-scene care, care in transit and transfer to definitive care.
