The EpiShuttle is a single-patient isolation system, specially designed for transport of patients. The unit protects the environment from an infected patient, but can also be used to protect the patient from a contaminated environment.

EpiShuttle is an innovative medical isolation and transportation system designed for optimal safety and numerous treatment options during patient

loading and transport. The unit is a single-patient isolator made of solvent-resistant materials. EpiShuttle can be carried, and is compatible with leading ambulance-stretcher undercarriage EMS systems.

The EpiShuttle is compatible with most mechanical ventilator circuits. Using negative pressure and HEPA-filtration, the isolator provides full environmental protection from particulate cross-contamination of highly

infectious diseases. In positive pressure mode, the isolator protects patients from hazardous environmental agents through the use of CBRN filters. The design allows for full intensive care treatment and emergency procedures, such as intubation and insertion of central venous catheters. The EpiShuttleis designed for multiple use, easy communication and optimal patient comfort.

THE NEW STANDARD OF ISOLATOR TRANSPORTATION


NEGATIVE PRESSUREIn negative pressure mode, the air system creates a negative pressure inside the isolator, relative to the environment. The air flow is directed through the inlet filters at the head end, and through the outlet filters at the foot end. The negative pressure prevents contaminated air to escape from the isolator.

POSITIVE PRESSUREIn positive pressure mode, the air system creates a positive pressure inside the isolator, relative to the environment. The air flow is directed through the inlet filters at the foot end, and through the outlet filters at the head end. The positive pressure prevents the non-filtered external air to enter the isolator.

THE FILTER AND BLOWER SYSTEMThe filter and blower system generates more than 15 air exchanges per hour to ensure maximum patient comfort and safety.
