TS EN 13718-1 Medical Vehicles and Equipment - Air Ambulances - Part 1: Features of Medical Devices Used in Air Ambulances

The EN 13718-1 standard, which is a European standard, describes the features and test methods for the safety and performance of medical equipment used in air ambulances. This standard has been published in our country by the Turkish Standards Institute (TSE) with the following title: TS EN 13718-1 Medical vehicles and equipment - Air ambulances - Part 1: Features of medical devices used in air ambulances.

This European standard specifies general requirements for medical devices transported in air ambulances and used in hospitals and health institutions where ambient conditions are different from normal indoor conditions. This standard does not include the conditions for the training of employees who have responsibilities in official organizations in the country where the vehicle will be approved and registered and registered.

In the field of medical services, time is of the essence. Sometimes, seconds matter in human life. There are situations where even a one-second delay can cost a life. To cope with such situations, it is essential that air ambulances are well-equipped and possess reliable, high-performance medical equipment. Today, modern air ambulances are equipped with the most advanced technology. The medical equipment used in these ambulances allows for easy, near-hospital care during transport, making the transfer of patients from one place to another much easier and more convenient.

In the transfer of patients who are far from home but need medical treatment and can only be transferred by air ambulance, or the transfer of patients who want to reach more equipped facilities to perform the desired medical treatments due to the impossibility of their location and insufficient medical care, the patient is more equipped than a hospital. Air ambulance service is always needed for transportation to the hospital.

Our organization also provides safety and performance testing services for medical equipment used in EN 13718-1 air ambulances, within the scope of laboratory services.
