AirCARE1 is now able to transport Covid-19 patients
US air ambulance service AirCARE1 has acquired the ISO VAC patient isolation module to allow its crew to safely transport patients with highly infectious diseases, including Covid-19
The ISO VAC is the only FDA approved isolation chamber to transport infectious diseases. Utilizing an approved isolation chamber allows for the safest air ambulance transport for patients while protecting against the spread of Covid-19 in the community.
This isolation module utilizes a negative pressure system to protect the medical crew and pilots during transport. The chamber provides a built-in sealing membrane with openings for cables and lines, as well as a ventilation system that allows for the comfort of the patient during transport. The medical crew can fully monitor and provide any medical care for a critically ill patient through multiple pass via openings in the system. After use, the chamber is cleaned and sanitized by a disinfectant fogging system.
In a statement, AirCARE1 said: “AirCARE1 understands the importance of utilizing the proper equipment for Covid-19 that can protect our patients, as well as our medical and aviation crews. In addition to utilizing the sophisticated ISO VAC, we have designed specific policies and procedures to enhance the safe and comfortable transports of patients with a highly infectious disease.”
