Elevating Safety in Emergency Medical Services: The Safety Arm System

In the fast-paced world of EMS, there exists a continuous pursuit for innovation aimed at enhancing the safety and effectiveness of our dedicated heroes. Recent trends in the industry have illuminated the critical role of equipment mounting solutions in ensuring the safety of first responders and their patients. Technimount EMS is leading this journey with game-changing products like the Safety Arm System for stretchers. This innovative stretcher mounting solution supersedes traditional tabletop mounting alternatives and provides unparalleled safety flexibility in the field.

 

The Safety Arm is the culmination of years of dedicated research, development, and collaboration with industry professionals to understand their unique challenges. We have combined this knowledge with cutting-edge engineering to provide a solution that facilitates the logistics of medical device management while simultaneously offering additional safety measures for patients and medical professionals thanks to its SAE-J3043 compliance.

The Safety Arm System: A Commitment to Safety

Technimount’s Safety Arm System is more than just a mount; it is a solution that results from the best engineering technology, keeping the most attention to detail that adheres to stringent industry standards and certifications. In addition to safety, Technimount has an equal dedication to interoperability and compatibility:  our universal mounting system seamlessly integrates with a wide range of medical devices, surpassing safety requirements.

Technimount makes no compromise where safety is involved, which is why we design and test our products in accordance with SAE-J3043. Introduced by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), SAE J3043 underlines the critical role of mounting solutions in the safety landscape of EMS.  Technimount implemented these standardized testing protocols in our design process to ensure that medical devices remain secure during transport, even in the face of sudden directional changes or collisions. This not only safeguards EMS providers and patients but also prevents costly equipment repairs or replacements.

Mounting systems that exceed the 22.5G minimum resistance rating stipulated by SAE J3043 ensure an unbiased evaluation of the system’s effectiveness. In a crash event, unsecured medical equipment can turn into potentially fatal projectiles on impact. Technimount’s products were designed to specifically address this risk.

Unprecedented Flexibility

EMS personnel operate in demanding environments where constant access to equipment is critical. With its 360-degree, soft-lock rotational system, the Safety Arm System allows access to device readings from any angle, streamlining workflow and enabling medics to focus on patient care, which reduces the likelihood of errors and negative patient outcomes. Technimount’s Safety Arm System benefits from our Standard Surface Base, a universal mounting base that allows interchangeability between different devices and a 360-degree range of motion. This adaptability enhances operational efficiency and safety during a medical emergency, allowing first responders to remain focused on patient care.

Conclusion

The Safety Arm System exemplifies Technimount’s commitment to complying with the most stringent industry norms, making it the standard for workplace safety and efficiency in the field of paramedicine. Renowned across the EMS, fire, healthcare, military, and flight services sectors, it is celebrated for an unwavering commitment to safety, with thousands of satisfied customers attesting to its trusted solutions. When it comes to saving lives, safety is not just a consideration—it’s a virtue, and Technimount’s Safety Arm System exemplifies this to the fullest.
