Frequently asked questions
Which Ferno ambulance cots are compatible?
The Ferno Patient Shield offers broad compatibility with several Ferno ambulance cot models, securing to the backrest frame using hook-and-loop fasteners.
It is compatible with the following models:
- Current Models: 35X PROFlexx Ambulance Cot, 35A Ambulance Cot, 93H PROFlexx Ambulance Cot, and POWERFlexx.
- Previous Model: 93-ES SQUADMATE.
How securely does the Patient Shield attach to the cot?
The Ferno Patient Shield is designed for secure mounting using hook-and-loop fasteners.It attaches firmly to the backrest frame of compatible Ferno ambulance cots, and the fasteners help pull the shield around the sides to provide comprehensive barrier coverage.
Does the Ferno Patient Shield obstruct IV feeds or oxygen delivery?
No, the design of the Ferno Patient Shield allows for the unobstructed use of tubes for IV feeds and oxygen delivery.
Does the shield require supplemental oxygen delivery?
Yes, the use of the Ferno Patient Shield critically requires supplemental oxygen delivery. This is necessary to prevent the accumulation of carbon dioxide (CO2) within the sealed enclosure. Ferno recommends using a non-rebreather system for optimal performance and safety.
What is the primary purpose of the Ferno Patient Shield?
The primary purpose of the Ferno Patient Shield is to minimize the transfer of pathogens between patients, patient handlers, equipment, and the environment.
How does the Patient Shield attach securely?
The Ferno Patient Shield utilizes hook-and-loop fasteners to ensure a firm and stable mount. These fasteners attach directly to the backrest frame of the compatible ambulance cot, allowing the shield to wrap securely around the sides for comprehensive barrier protection.
How does the Patient Shield minimize pathogen transfer?
The Ferno Patient Shield minimizes pathogen transfer by creating a dedicated physical barrier around the patient’s head and upper torso. This barrier is specifically engineered to reduce the spread of airborne or droplet pathogens between the patient, handlers, equipment, and the surrounding environment during transport or care.It secures firmly to the cot’s backrest frame using hook-and-loop fasteners, providing comprehensive coverage.## Safety RequirementCrucially, the shield requires the use of supplemental oxygen delivery (preferably non-rebreather) to ensure proper air exchange and actively prevent the buildup of carbon dioxide (CO2) within the enclosed space. The design also maintains unobstructed access for essential medical tubing, such as IV feeds and oxygen lines.
Does it attach securely to the cot?
Yes, the Ferno Patient Shield is designed to be securely attached to the cot’s backrest frame using hook-and-loop fasteners, ensuring it stays in place during transport.
How does the shield prevent pathogen transfer?
The Ferno Patient Shield is designed to minimize pathogen transfer by creating a barrier between patients, handlers, equipment, and the environment. This helps to reduce the risk of contamination during transport.
Does the shield work with older cot models?
Yes, the Ferno Patient Shield is broadly compatible. It works with several current Ferno cot models, including the 35X PROFlexx, 35A, 93H PROFlexx, and POWERFlexx. It is also compatible with older models such as the 93-ES SQUADMATE.
