ParAid Medical has come to the aid of one of the country’s air ambulance services with its neo-natal aeromedical transport systems. The air ambulance service based on the Isle of Man, operated from Nobles Hospital in Douglas, is equipped with a Piper Chieftain aircraft.
The service is often used to transfer sick babies to the mainland and back and following problems with previous transport equipment, the service needed to commission a new bespoke system which was more user-friendly and certified to aviation standards. Working with Nobles hospital, ParAid Medical developed and supplied a new incubator and trolley system that was compatible with three aircraft types and EASA (European Aviation Safety Authority) certified. The ParAid Medical incubator system sits in a frame and is designed to go on and off aircraft on a slide and glide system for transfer between aircraft and ambulance.
