Evac+Chair 440 at Catharina Ziekenhuis General Hospital in Eindhoven

Wednesday, July 25, 2012

The 1-440 Evac+Chair was successfully trialed at the Catharina Ziekenhuis General Hospital in Eindhoven.

This is a 696 bed Hospital located in central Eindhoven and has several
buildings including a main 15 storey central block.

Mr W.P.J. Roordink, the Health and Safety Co-ordinator at the Hospital
needed 6 stairway evacuation chairs capable of taking passengers and or
patients up to 200kgs in weight safely down stairs in the event of an
emergency evacuation. During the trials one of the main evacuation
staircases registered a 45 degree angle of descent, some 5 degrees
steeper than the upper limit of our standard model 1-300H.

Mr Roordink was delighted with the results and commented "We have many obese patients admitted to the hospital and we need to plan for every situation to the best of our ability. Being able to turn to Evac+Chair International Ltd., in order to provide engineered solutions, was a great help."
