feature to allow the device to be set to different ambulance deck heights for proper body mechanics during loading

positions or sizes. The cot is equipped with a manual back-up release handle to allow the operation of cot functions in
the event of power loss. The device is equipped with a retractable head section for 360-degree mobility in any height
position, four platform options for incubator system compatibility and various optional accessories that assist with
transport of the patient.

incubator system and transport the entire body of a traumatized, ambulatory or non-ambulatory human patient while

emergency/transport vehicles. This ambulance cot is intended to be used in pre-hospital and hospital environments, in
emergency and non-emergency applications. It is rated to a maximum capacity of 700 lb (318 kg) (sum of the patient,
incubator and accessory weight) and the intended operators of the device are trained professionals including: nurses,
doctors, emergency medical service and medical care center personnel, as well as medical first responders. The
