EN 1865-2 Patient Transport Equipment Used in Road Ambulances - Part 2: Power Assisted Stretcher

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of EN 1865-2 standard. This part of the EN 1865 standard defines minimum requirements for the design and performance of power-assisted stretchers used in road ambulances for the treatment and transportation of patients. It aims to ensure patient safety and to minimize the physical effort required by the personnel operating the equipment.

A power-assisted stretcher is a device designed for the transport of the sick or injured, those in labor, those in transit, and the supine, providing safety and comfort during treatment or transport. Our power-assisted stretcher is an innovative battery-operated hydraulic system that raises and lowers the patient at the touch of buttons, which can make it easier for operators.
