Product Introduction:

Quality Control:

• Technology: The modern ambulance cot represents a significant evolution in emergency medical technology, designed to provide both maximum patient safety and ease of use for first responders. At the core of its construction is a high-strength, thickened aluminum alloy, chosen for its excellent balance of lightweight properties and structural integrity. This robust material ensures that the cot can withstand the rigors of frequent use and the demands of transporting patients of varying weights and sizes. To further enhance its durability and resistance to the elements, as well as to facilitate cleaning and disinfection, the aluminum structure undergoes a spray painting surface treatment. This process not only adds an additional protective layer against corrosion and wear but also gives the cot a professional and clean appearance, which is important in the medical field.
• Safety Standard: The ambulance cot adheres to stringent safety standards, meeting the requirements of both ISO 13485:2016 and ISO 9001:2015 certifications, as well as carrying the CE marking. ISO 13485:2016 is the international quality management standard for medical devices, focusing on the consistency and reliability of manufactured products, as well as the safety and effectiveness of medical devices. Similarly, ISO 9001:2015 specifies criteria for a quality management system and is based on principles including a strong customer focus, the involvement of high-level company management, a process approach, and continual improvement. The CE mark indicates that the ambulance cot complies with the necessary European regulatory requirements for health, safety, and environmental protection standards. By adhering to these standards, the ambulance cot ensures that it meets the highest levels of quality and safety, providing reassurance to both medical professionals and patients that the equipment is reliable and has been rigorously tested to perform under critical conditions.
• Design: The design of the ambulance cot is ingeniously tailored for rapid and efficient patient transfer, minimizing strain on emergency responders while enhancing patient comfort and safety. Unlike traditional stretchers, the platform of the ambulance cot is positioned higher, aligning seamlessly with the interior height of most ambulances. This innovative feature allows the cot to be smoothly transitioned from the ground level into the ambulance without the need for lifting, which is a significant ergonomic advancement. To further simplify the process, the cot is equipped with a collapsible undercarriage that can be effortlessly folded by pressing two handles located at the foot end of the cot. Once folded, the design reveals a secondary set of wheels on the upper section, which enables the cot to be conveniently rolled when the base is foldable on ambulances. This dual-stage wheel system streamlines the deployment and retraction of the cot, ensuring a swift and secure operation that benefits both the patient and the emergency medical technicians.

Function:

• Back-rest: The backrest of the ambulance cot is thoughtfully engineered to enhance patient comfort and responder functionality during transport. It is controlled by a gas spring mechanism, which allows for smooth and effortless adjustment of the back angle. With just a light press, medical personnel can easily alter the incline of the backrest, tailoring it to the specific needs and condition of the patient. The gas spring provides a reliable and controlled movement, ensuring that the backrest can be securely positioned anywhere within its considerable range of motion, up to an angle of 75°±10°. This adjustability is crucial not only for patient comfort, particularly for those who require elevation due to respiratory issues or shock, but also for procedures that may need to be performed en route to a medical facility. The intuitive design of the backrest, combined with the precise control offered by the gas spring, represents the ambulance cot’s commitment to delivering patient-centric care while maintaining the highest levels of safety and efficiency.

Accessories Details:

• Side Rail: The ambulance cot is equipped with foldable side rails that serve as critical safety features, designed to protect patients during transport. These side rails act as barriers, preventing patients from rolling or sliding off the stretcher, which is especially important in a moving ambulance where shifts and turns can pose a risk. The risk of secondary injuries, which can occur if a patient falls from the cot, is significantly mitigated by these sturdy guardrails. They are constructed to be easily engaged or retracted, allowing emergency responders quick and unobstructed access to the patient when necessary. When folded down, the side rails also facilitate the transfer of patients onto and off the cot. The implementation of these foldable side rails reflects the meticulous consideration of patient safety and the practical needs of emergency medical services in the design of the ambulance cot.
• Caster: The ambulance cot is outfitted with robust casters, each 150mm in diameter, designed to facilitate smooth and stable maneuverability across a variety of surfaces. Among these, two casters feature a single brake system, enabling secure locking to prevent unwanted movement when the cot is stationary, ensuring patient safety during care and transfer procedures. The materials used for these casters are carefully chosen for their corrosion resistance and wear-resistant properties, which are crucial in the demanding environments that emergency medical services operate within. This includes the ability to withstand frequent cleaning and disinfection protocols without degrading in performance. The large diameter of the casters allows for easier navigation over uneven terrain and thresholds, while the specialized construction ensures longevity and reliability of the cot’s mobility, even under the heavy-duty use that is typical in emergency response situations.
• Drip Rack: The ambulance cot includes a highly functional drip rack, which is an inverted duplex two-stage design, offering versatility and convenience in patient care. This drip rack can be adjusted up to a maximum length of 75cm, accommodating various heights and medical requirements. The two-stage feature allows for quick and easy extension or retraction of the rack to suit the specific needs of intravenous therapy administration or other medical procedures requiring elevation. The inverted design ensures that the drip or infusion stands are securely held in place and are less likely to be knocked over during transport, which is essential for maintaining the continuous delivery of medication or fluids to the patient. The inclusion of this adjustable drip rack on the ambulance cot underscores the attention to detail in creating a cot that is not only safe and secure for patient transport but also fully equipped to support the comprehensive care of patients en route to medical facilities.
• Mattress: The mattress of the ambulance cot is thoughtfully crafted to enhance patient comfort while ensuring practicality and durability in emergency situations. The stretcher cushion is constructed from sealed high-density polyethylene coated with nylon material, which provides a robust and impermeable barrier against fluids, making it waterproof and easy to clean and disinfect. Its surface features a concave and convex design that is thickened to a substantial 100mm thickness, offering ergonomic support to the patient’s body and reducing the risk of pressure sores during transport. This design detail not only adds an extra layer of comfort for the patient but also contributes to the overall stability and safety of the patient during movement. The choice of materials and the attention to cushion structure reflect the dual priority of patient care and sanitation standards in emergency medical equipment.
