VW Company Ltd

100% Compliant

MedAssist™ is fully compliant to all regulations:

• BS EN 1865:2000 Specifications for stretchers and other patient handling equipment used in road ambulances.
• BS EN 1789:2000 Medical vehicles and their equipment - Road ambulances.
• Fully compliant to Comite European de Normalisation (CEN).
• Independently tested and verified by MIRA and the VCA, both statically and dynamically. (click on video of crash tests to view.)
• The standard MedAssist™ is the lightest lift-assisted stretcher trolley, with a weight of only 45kg, excluding mattress and belts, so users should experience less manual handling strain.
• Converts easily into a wheelchair, so outside the ambulance patients can be transported in a sitting position. This allows easier to confined spaces such as narrow corridors and lifts.
• Users can effortlessly manoeuvre the standard MedAssist™ outside and inside the ambulance, as it has a short wheelbase, directional lock on the wheels and a highly efficient braking system

• Side arms lower in-line to facilitate use in restricted spaces
• The unique chassis lock holds both the top and bottom frames of the standard MedAssist™ together so any lifting required such as over kerbs, is effortless
