GET READY for the NEW SAE RECOMMENDATIONS

GET READY
for the NEW SAE RECOMMENDATIONS
After more than four years of testing and research with the National Institute for Occupational Safety
and Health and key industry partners , the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) is publishing their
“Recommended Practice” concerning the forces that an ambulance cot, fastening system, and patient
restraints should be able to withstand in a 30 mile-per-hour crash. Both the GSA KKK-A-1822F specification
and the NFPA-1917 standard plan to adopt the SAE recommendations into their ambulance purchasing
specification.
Traditional “Antler and Rail” fastening systems will NOT meet these new requirements.
The Ferno® Stat Trac® Cot Fastening System has been tested to the new SAE recommendation and is
fully compliant. Stat Trac compatible cots and the new iN∫X™ Integrated Patient Transport and Loading
System™ provide you with a complete set of solutions to meet the new standards.
Stat Trac® Cot Fastening System
In addition to meeting dynamic crash test
standards for maximized patent safety, the Stat
Trac cot fastening system eliminates the need
to steer the cot into the ambulance minimizing
operator strain on angled surfaces. The single-hand
release and wide-angle entrance-guide facilitate
ease of loading on uneven terrain for maximum
versatility. The Stat Trac can be quickly removed
without the use of tools for easy cleaning of your
ambulance and for interoperability within your
fleet. The Ferno Stat Trac is compatible with the
Ferno 35X PROFlexx® manual x-frame cot and Ferno
POWERFlexx+® powered x-frame cot. The iN∫X will
be compatible with a new fastening system that
will be available in Fall 2014.
