Infants run the risk of heat loss and injury should transporting vehicle be involved in an accident or have to take evasive action. Transporting infants requires an environment that will keep them warm, safe and secure. The Baby Pod 20 is the culmination of year’s development with the aim of incorporating new technological developments and user requested features with the original Baby Pod 2.
The new Baby Pod 20 features many of the same qualities and features of its predecessor, but improves upon them in key ways. The viewing area in the Baby Pod 20 is larger and clearer than ever before, giving better visibility of the patient, particularly in restricted environments such as the interior of rotary aircraft where space is at a premium.
Due to the nature of the Baby Pod being used increasingly for air transport, the limitations of the original Baby Pod 2 lid opening mechanism became increasingly apparent. It’s outwardly opening lid sections not being convenient when operating in a tight space being a key challenge to overcome when designing a new evolution of the product.
To overcome this challenge, the whole front section of the Baby Pod 20 viewing lid now slides backwards over the rear section, giving unhindered access to the upper torso and head of the infant patient without increasing the height or width of the Baby Pod 20 whatsoever. This allows for access to the entire patient compartment, with no obstructions from either side of the unit. A feature critical where monitoring or ventilation equipment is placed necessarily by the side of the unit.
The Baby Pod 20’s new strapping system features high-tensile webbing typically found in motorsport and a metal quick connect buckle used in aviation, making it the most secure strapping system ever featured on a Baby Pod model. The new strapping system will now withstand up to 9kN of force, exceeding the current European ambulance specifications to which the Baby Pod 2 already met.
Inside the Baby Pod 20 features the same shock-absorbent foam interior as the Baby Pond 2, with removable, washable and autoclavable covers, now securely fastening directly to the inside of the carbon fibre shell. It also has upgraded vacuum mattress, allowing the infant positioning strapping to pass directly through the mattress outer foil to better secure the mattress around the patient.
A further development comes by way of the Co2 evacuation system, originally pioneered in AHT’s Evac Pod model. A medical air supply can be attached to the inlet on the front of the Baby pod 20, which then, using low-pressure and jet ow and mixing principles, draws any carbon dioxide that may have layered at the base of the unit, out of an exit valve on the underside of the shell. This in turn draws clean ambient air into the patient compartment via the patient access port in the viewing lid.
