Advantages of the EpiShuttle

EMS SYSTEM COMPATIBLE

The EpiShuttle is EN 1789 compliant and can be safely used in ambulances, helicopters, and airplanes.

AVOID LIABILITY

The EpiShuttle is CE-marked as a Class 1 Medical Device.

NO DISINFECTION

Vehicles that are used for the transport of highly infectious patients in the EpiShuttle do not have to be disinfected after patient transport.

SUPERIOR PATIENT COMFORT

A soft mattress and adjustable backrest and leg support give optimal patient comfort during transports of up to 24 hours.

LESS PPE DURING TRANSPORT

When transporting a highly infectious patient inside the EpiShuttle, medical personnel do not need to wear full PPE (Personal Protective Equipment).

DUAL PROTECTION SYSTEM

The EpiShuttle can be configured to either protect the surroundings from the patient or to protect the patient from the surroundings.

COST-EFFICIENT

The EpiShuttle is reusable and can be safely disinfected and re-assembled in less than two hours. This significantly reduces the cost per transport compared to single-use transport isolators.
