EpiGuard, September 13, 2020 - GREECE - Generous donations made by companies and individuals funded seven state-of-the-art isolation pods for COVID-19 patient transport in Greece.

The Greek ambulance service, EKAB, acquired seven top modern isolation pods, known as EpiShuttle, from the generous donations made to them.

With the EpiShuttles in place, the ambulance service can perform patient monitoring and full intensive care of infected patients during air, sea and land transport. In case of a local outbreak, patients may now receive fast and safe transportation, even from remote locations. Thus, the EpiShuttle contributes to keep both tourists and Greek citizens safe.

Behind this innovation is a team of medical doctors and engineers with first-hand medical experience with previous epidemics, the founders of EpiGuard. The EpiShuttle make transport safe, reduce cost and increase operational efficiency. An ambulance usually requires 2-4 hours of disinfection between every contagious transport, and with an entire helicopter, it takes almost a day, says Ellen Cathrine Andersen, CEO of EpiGuard explains.

They are completely airtight, and as a second barrier it has negative pressure with P3-filtration to prevent any contaminated air from escaping from the isolator. The EpiShuttle keeps the staff safe. Also, once the patient is loaded, medical staff do not have to wear full Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) during transport of highly infectious patients. This allows for longer shifts and reduces the risk of mistakes due to fatigue or reduced situational awareness, Andersen explains.

In addition to 174 Mobile Intensive Care Units EKAB has three Augusta A-109 Power helicopters. It has been recently estimated that approximately 500,000 patients are transported by EKAB per year. Furthermore, 2000 to 2500 medical flights were conducted per year.

About EpiGuard: EpiGuard is a Norwegian company established in 2015 providing better solutions for safe transportation of contagious patients. Our team of medical experts and engineers developed the EpiShuttle based on analysis and clinical first-hand experience from previous global epidemics. Our medical background ranges from intensive care, infectious diseases, internal medicine and anesthesiology, and transport medicine. EpiShuttle improves patient safety and care, the safety for health care providers, reduce costs and increase operational efficiency. Saving one – protecting everyone.

The COVID-19 virus continues spreading all over the world, getting sick more and more people, and unfortunately, it does not look to turn over. The demand for air ambulance transportation is hitting the records. Air Business International Team is 24/7 on charge and doing the best to provide our services to the people in need of medical transportation. We are closely collaborating with our trusted air ambulance operators in Greece, Germany, Austria, Italy, Israel, and other counties. There are also a lot of upcoming restrictions for medical transportation.

Medical transportation of coronavirus patients

One of our trusted partners has announced the purchase of a portable medical isolation unit manufactured in Norway by EpiGuard AS, known as the EpiShuttle, and they are now ready to start transporting patients infected with COVID-19. There is also a dedicated team of 4 ICU Flight Doctors and 8 Flight Paramedics, now trained in accordance with the ECDC European Center for Disease Control Technical Directive, and the company can offer transportation of patients with the confirmed 2019-nCoV infection on a case by case basis … positive case contacts will also be transported’.”

Limitations placed on patient transports include:

The Health Authority Infectious Disease Notification processes relevant to all jurisdictions have been followed and approved prior to the mission

Receiving care has been confirmed and the receiving hospital is fully informed and willing to accept the patient.
The involved ground ambulance services are briefed accordingly and accept the patient.
The patient and/or relevant family member/legal guardian gives consent to being transported in a PMIU after full disclosure of the risks and limitations involved.
The transport is not in breach of aviation restrictions in place and subject to amendment from time to time as promulgated by international agencies eg: WHO/CDC/National authorities and aviation agencies.

Furthermore, the following numerous requests from clients can now commence repatriations of unaffected, healthy adults and children who are in a location considered to be at high risk of transmission back to their home country, on behalf of governments, international agencies, and private clients.

Our leading Air Ambulance Specialists and Special Mission Operators are working around the clock to help evacuate those in need following unprecedented demand from the spread of coronavirus. This includes both medical evacuations of infected patients and repatriation flights of unaffected healthy individuals from all corners of the globe.

The biggest challenge remains scheduling given entry restrictions now in place in many countries around the world many of which are not allowing entry for crew rest and pre-positioning.

The EpiShuttle is an award-winning flexible patient transport unit designed for the safe transportation of highly infectious soldiers on the battlefield.

Developed with the input of medics, patients, and clinical experts, the solution has been used to treat subjects with life-threatening diseases such as Ebola.

Medical isolation transportation solutions for military applications
The EpiShuttle has been specifically developed to offer optimal safety and ease-of-use, making it the ideal solution for the transportation of vulnerable patients on the front-line.

In addition to EpiShuttle’s suitability to transport soldiers with highly contagious diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), the EpiShuttle can also be used for patients with infections, including tuberculosis, measles, or multi-resistant bacteria.

EpiShuttle’s positive pressure mode is designed to protect vulnerable patients from the environment around them. The state-of-the-art ventilation system filters airborne pathogens, including MRSA, which can be potentially harmful to the most susceptible subjects such as burn victims or those recovering from cancer treatment.

Solutions for enhanced patient and healthcare protection
The EpiShuttle can be used in multifarious environments to provide medical treatment while ensuring the protection of both patients and healthcare professionals. A rigorous testing process has demonstrated EpiShuttle’s compliance with CEN 1789 and versatility for a range of land, sea, and air applications.

Multiple options can be supplied with the EpiShuttle, including adapters for several leading stretcher brands and an L-track attachment with universal brackets. This provides added assurance that the EpiShuttle can be secured safely with any vehicle or stretcher.

The EpiShuttle is an invaluable asset for armed forces to protect military personnel from an outbreak of a highly contagious disease. The solution is already in use with several organisation, including the National CBRNE Centre for Medicine in Norway, which has deployed the EpiShuttle to all five university hospitals in the country.

Resources to respond to the outbreak of contagious diseases
Armed forces across the world are often required to operate in regions affected by outbreaks of contagious diseases, as well as areas contaminated by chemical hazards. EpiGuard’s EpiShuttle can be an essential part of the response in both cases.

The EpiShuttle is in use with the World Health Organization (WHO) in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) as part of its response to the country’s Ebola crisis.

In positive pressure mode, the EpiShuttle can be used for the safe transportation of healthy subjects through areas contaminated by chemical hazards. The isolation unit also uses chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) filters to protect patients from hazardous environmental agents.

The EpiShuttle is certified as a Class 1 medical device and is stock listed with Nato (NSN 6530-25-162-4642).

Flexible patient transportation solutions for the defence industry
EpiShuttle is an adaptable solution that can be used for a range of demanding military applications.

Some of the key benefits and use areas for the EpiShuttle include:

Air ambulance: vibration testing and Nato standard decompression testing have been conducted on the EpiShuttle to ensure its suitability for fixed and rotor wing air ambulances.

Healthcare professional safety: transporting infected patients is challenging, especially when a high level of treatment and care is required. Without sufficient isolation and protection, there is a high risk that viruses can spread.

Less personal protection equipment: using the EpiShuttle to transport patients negates the need for medical personnel to wear full personal protective equipment (PPE). This enables military professionals to work longer shifts, reducing the risk of mistakes due to fatigue or reduced situational awareness.

Patient safety: EpiShuttle’s innovative design facilitates several treatment options during patient loading and transport, including emergency procedures and intensive care. Medical personnel can gain access to a patient’s entire body via glove ports and food and medicine can easily be supplied.

Patient care: the unit is designed to provide patients with optimal comfort during transportation, featuring a soft mattress, leg support and an adjustable backrest. Transparent hardtop allows for improved visibility and communication for the patient.

The EpiShuttle can be disinfected and prepared for reuse in under two hours, resulting in minimal disruption to service during critical missions. This helps defence organisations save valuable time and money, and ensures that vehicles remain as operational as possible.

EpiGuard was founded at the Oslo University Hospital, Norway, in 2015 by a group of doctors, together with co-founders Inven2, Eker Group, and Hansen Protection.
