Our Concept

 Assisted-lift ambulance stretcher  Reduce back injuries to EMTs  16 million patients transported to hospitals

each year in the US

SLIDE 3

Benchmarking

Cheap (~$3,000) Lightweight No lift-assist Expensive (~$14,000) Bulky Lifts 700lbs with ease

hello

Ferno 35A Stryker PowerPRO

SLIDE 4

Considerations

 Collapsed height constraint  Speed and smoothness of lifting  Manual over-ride  How much load assist is appropriate?

 80th percentile male weight= 210 lbs

Need to balance these parameters

SLIDE 5

Demonstration

 In current configuration:

 200 lbs of lifting force  2.5” diameter piston  11” of piston travel for 30” of vertical lift

SLIDE 6

Lessons Learned

 Several orientations for linkages

 Piston can be moved, re-oriented, adjusted, etc.

 Pedal is a comfortable control  Need robust locking mechanism when raised
