Description: Portable patient movement devices. Adjustable positions both vertical and horizontal. Durable medical equipment.

ImportantFeatures: All devices and related accessories should be impervious to infectious fluids. Wheel locks and other desirable safety devices should be included.

Operating Considerations: Consider products ease of use with minimal training; full range of vertical and horizontal position adjustments; low center of gravity; operations in confined space environments including ascent and descent of stairwells, around corners and other confined spaces. For outside operations, ensure rugged, durable wheels sized for terrain. Consider optional accessories to accommodate equipment storage including oxygen, EKG monitors, IV poles, and other surface areas and storage capabilities.

Consider operational body mechanics required for all sizes of practitioners; maintenance requirements and related costs; interoperability with other medical equipment (backboards, splints, etc.) and interoperability with various transport vehicles (ambulances, helicopters, boats, carts, all-terrain vehicles, etc.). Consider weight (capacity) rating of product, keeping in mind all types of patient sizes/weights, including bariatric patients. Finally, consider ability to decontaminate.
