The two new vehicles were designed with safety in mind. At one end for the bench seat is a IV start drawer with a shelf to hold the Philips MRx monitor secure during transport. At the other end of the bench seat is the Computer, Radio, and all the controls for the patient compartment (Heat – A/C, lights, Suction, Vents, etc), all within easy reach of the medic. This design allows the medic to remain seated with the seat belt fastened during transport. There are two computer mounts to allow the medic to work on the chart in the back while in transport or in the front passenger seat while returning to base.
Also included in the design is an IV warmer and medication refrigerator. The outside of the vehicle is also designed for safety including a side sliding door so that anyone exiting the side door has a clear view prior to exiting the vehicle and the rear of the vehicle has chevrons for improved visibility.
