26 APRIL 2016 | EMSWORLD.com Elsewhere, in Canada and the U.S., forward-thinking organiza- tions and agencies can adopt key standards even without mandates from governing bodies. "I see EMS services just going ahead and adopting them anyway," Sawatsky says. "They're not necessarily waiting for the standard to change; they're already starting to adopt what other jurisdictions are doing. There are good examples of that up here in Canada and across the board. So although the standards may not be where they could be, customers are already making better choices. They're doing their own research and making better decisions and driving improvements." Where the Medic and Patient Are The idea of safety has driven some big innovations from Ferno. The company recently launched its iN∫TRAXX concept: an integrated vehicle component system designed to secure loose equipment in the patient compartment and allow medics to deliver care while seated and restrained. It's a modular system that uses wall-mounted tracks to secure equipment mounts, storage cabinets and soft-sided supply bags where customers want and providers use them. Having needed goods within arm's reach can eliminate the need to unbuckle and stand to retrieve them in transit. Supplies and equipment are interchangeable across vehicles and vehicle types, and it's all compli- ant to SAE J3043 (which covers ambulance equipment mounting) and can withstand a 26-G crash. Ferno's iN/TRAXX is an integrated vehicle component system designed to secure loose equipment in the patient compartment and allow medics to deliver care while seated and restrained.
