EpiShuttle for Ground Ambulance
The EpiShuttle is a crucial part of preparedness strategy in case of a highly infectious disease outbreak like SARS, MERS, Ebola, etc. It protects the health care professionals from cross-contamination by isolating the sick and transporting them to a place of care.

Safe Medical
Transportation
There are procedures in place when a patient with suspected highly infectious disease has to be transported. With EpiShuttle the whole process becomes safer and easier. The patient is isolated inside the unit preventing cross-contamination to the health care workers. In addition, there is no need to wear full PPE while transporting. This enhances situational awareness and prevents PPE caused fatigue. It also saves time designated for donning and doffing, while leaving more for treating other patients.
No Ambulance
Disinfection
After every highly infectious transfer, the vehicles used have to be properly cleaned and disinfected. That process can last up to 4 hours and requires the presence of medics. With the EpiShuttle, transport vehicles don’t need to be disinfected. The unit is completely sealed preventing the contaminated air from escaping. This keeps the vehicle in operation and allows health care workers to treat other patients.
