LIVENGOOD Medical Launches Disaster/Mass Casualty Incident Platform Designed for Rapid Mobile Deployment

Durable, Roll-Off-and-Go Mobile Care Environment Enables ICU-level Capability at Alternative Sites

LOVELAND, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--LIVENGOOD Medical, the leader in Mobile Patient Care Environments announced the launch of a new Disaster / Mass Casualty Incident (MCI) platform designed for use at alternative emergency sites. The mobile platform can instantly transform any area into an ICU-capable patient area while maintaining compliance with hospital safety standards and keeping medical equipment/supplies consolidated onto a stable 2’ x 2’ footprint.

“Our platforms are designed and tested to exceed patient safety standards while providing for rapid off-site deployment. The fully-stocked capable care platform is ready to go anywhere acute care is needed”

Mass casualty incidents can overwhelm hospital resources and often require patient care areas to be established in non-patient areas in the hospital or at alternative sites in the community. The LIVENGOOD Disaster/MCI Mobile Patient Care Environment provides rapid, off-site, hospital-grade patient care capabilities and includes a unique wheel design that allows for easy maneuverability across open terrain. When not being used for disaster or mass casualty incidents the platform can be used by hospitals for day-to-day overcrowding and surge capacity.

“Our platforms are designed and tested to exceed patient safety standards while providing for rapid off-site deployment. The fully-stocked capable care platform is ready to go anywhere acute care is needed,” said Joseph Livengood, MD, FACS, a trauma surgeon and CEO of LIVENGOOD Medical. “With the Disaster/MCI Mobile Patient Care Environment medical providers have all the needed patient care equipment and supplies at their fingertips allowing them to immediately initiate treatment and devote their time and attention to caring for the patient. Predicting site accessibility during a disaster is difficult so having a mobile solution that can be deployed anywhere is critical for a successful response.”

The Disaster/MCI Mobile Patient Care Environment provides for:

• Immediate care site transformation of non-patient care areas such as cafeterias, gymnasiums, airport tarmacs, etc.
• Unmatched hospital-level safety standards such as UL60601-1 and Joint Commission.
• Consolidation of more than a pallet of medical equipment onto a roll-off, 2’x 2’ Mobile Patient Care Environment allowing for increased density and ease of use in truck and aircraft transport.
• Organized management of two ICU patients or four non-critical patients from a single platform.
  • Platform includes: Eight Power Outlets, Monitor/Defibrillator, Oxygen Concentrator, 2 IV Poles, Infusion Pumps, Suction, Computer for EMR, Locked Drawers, Ventilators, Procedure Tray, Bins/Baskets, Long-Life Battery, Chest Tubes and Catheters.

LIVENGOOD Mobile Patient Care Environments have been deployed across the United States by federal and state disaster systems in addition to departments hospital-wide for immediate availability in times of need.
