Medical Device
The EpiShuttle has passed rigorous testing procedures and has obtained supplementary type certification (STC) for use in the Bombardier Challenger CL-600. Validated disinfection procedures tested and approved by EpiGuard experts make the unit safe to reuse over and over again. The aircrafts don’t need to be disinfected after every transport which saves time and money and keeps the ambulance in operation.
Double Protection
Ventilation System
The air ventilation system generates more than 15 air exchanges per hour to ensure maximum patient comfort and safety. Filters and airtight seals ensure that all contaminants are kept inside the EpiShuttle, even in the event of rapid decompression of an airplane cabin. The negative pressure mode stops contaminated air from escaping the unit. The positive pressure mode prevents the non-filtered environmental air to enter the isolator.
