Overview
SIST EN 1865-2:2010/kFprA1:2014 is a European Standard developed by CEN that specifies the minimum design and performance requirements for power assisted stretchers used in road ambulances. The standard focuses on enhancing patient safety and reducing the physical effort required by ambulance staff during patient treatment and transportation. It forms part of the broader EN 1865 series on patient handling equipment used in emergency medical services.
This standard addresses critical aspects such as dimensional constraints, mass limits, power sources, restraint systems, and flammability requirements to ensure that power assisted stretchers meet stringent safety and operational criteria.
Key Topics
Design Requirements: EN 1865-2 defines precise measurements and tolerances for the stretcher to fit standard ambulance configurations and accommodate patient needs.
Performance Standards: The power assisted stretcher must provide a reliable and consistent aiding force to reduce staff fatigue during patient lifting and maneuvering.
Mass and Dimensions: Updated mass limits require the stretcher to weigh no more than 75 kg, with specific controlled dimensions for ergonomic handling and ambulance compatibility.
Power Source Compliance: Specifies standards for power sources including electrical safety (referencing EN 60601-1-2:2007) and usability in emergency environments.
Restraint Systems: Requirements for patient restraint systems are updated to conform with EN 1789:2007+A1:2010, ensuring secure and safe patient immobilization.
Safety and Toxicity: Requirements for flammability and smoke toxicity are aligned with established standards (EN 597-1:1994) to mitigate fire risks within confined ambulance spaces.
Marking and Labelling: Updated marking requirements use EN ISO 15223-1:2012 to provide standardized medical device symbols for clear, unambiguous identification and instructions.
Applications
The SIST EN 1865-2:2010/kFprA1:2014 standard is essential for manufacturers, suppliers, and operators of patient handling equipment in emergency medical services. Its application includes:
Ambulance Manufacturers: To ensure compatibility of power assisted stretchers with vehicle dimensions and patient handling workflows.
Medical Device Manufacturers: Providing guidance on engineering safer, more ergonomic power assisted stretchers that reduce operator strain and enhance patient care.
Healthcare Providers and EMS Personnel: Delivering a benchmark for selecting and using equipment that complies with EU safety directives, promoting operational efficiency and patient security.
Regulatory Compliance: Aiding conformity with EU Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC and Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, facilitating CE marking and market access within Europe.
