Feature Details

A.      Primary Litter System     Pic

Primary patient litter consists of a Ferno 28-wheeled stretcher. This stretcher is modified to meet the latest FAR and JAA requirements. The wheeled stretcher allows for easy patient movement to/from the helicopter with the under carriage folding for ease of entry into the back left side of the aircraft.

Note: A non-wheeled stretcher can be installed as an alternative to the Ferno 28.

B.      Medical Flooring

To protect the aircraft floor from blood corrosion damage and to provide for ease of cleaning and disinfecting, a composite overlay is used to contain body and environmental fluids. The floor allows for use of the existing seat tracks, thereby reducing both weight and cost.
