The EpiShuttle is an award-winning design, developed with direct input and guidance from clinical experts, medics, and patients.
The integrated bed is adjustable both for knee angle and backrest, allowing for increased comfort for the patient and better conditions for clinical procedures. Adjusting the position improves breathing and communication, and hence contributes in reducing anxiety.
Installation of operator ports and medical ports
The operator ports outer and inner rings are connected by a threaded connection which are easily attached and secured.
The port configurations, operatorports , wireport and ventilationport are attached to the outer rings by a threaded connection, and securly locked with triple operating securitylocks.
The air ventilation system generates more than 15 air exchanges per hour to ensure maximum patient comfort and safety.
In positive pressure mode, the air system generates positive pressure, relative to the environment, inside the device. The air flow is directed through the inlet filters at the foot end, and through the outlet filters at the head end. The positive pressure and the inlet filters prevents the non-filtered environmental air to enter the isolator.
For optimal treatment during transport, the EpiShuttle has eight interchangeable operator ports integrated into the hard top.
The ports are positioned to ensure access to all parts of the patient’s body, including airways. This enables intensive care treatment of the patient with possibility for procedures such as intubation, inserting central venous lines, urinary catheter, etc.
The ports have inner and outer lids that fasten and seal with a
quarter-turn connection
This enables intensive care treatment of the patient with possibility for procedures such as intubation, inserting of central venous lines, urinary catheter etc.
The two medical ports are located at the head end of the EpiShuttle base. These ports can be equipped with a medical wire membrane or a ventilation sleeve.
The medical wire membrane is made of a highly flexible rubber material, permitting a secure passage of IV lines, monitoring cables, or oxygen lines.
The ventilator sleeve is a flexible and transparent sleeve for the entry of mechanical ventilator hose. The sleeve seals the HEPA filter that connects the ventilation hose on the clean side and the oropharyngeal tube, mask or other patient respiratory device inside the EpiShuttle.
This ensures that the entire mechanical ventilator and ventilator hose are on the clean side.
