EN 13976-1:2011
(Main)Rescue systems - Transportation of incubators - Part 1: Interface conditions
General Information
- Abstract
This European Standard specifies the requirements for the interface between the ambulance and the incubator and the associated equipment, needed for care and treatment of infants, used in emergency or planned transports to ensure interchangeability and interoperability and to provide uninterrupted care of patients.
This European Standard does not give requirements for the vehicles, crafts, devices or incubators as such; these requirements are found in other standards. However, transport incubators are normally combined with other equipment to form a "transport incubator system".
