About this technology
Overview
When paramedics come racing, the last thing anybody worries about is where the ambulance was earlier that morning. But traces of those earlier calls could be lingering—and they could be spreading disease. With help from the Regional Economic Development Program at Glenn Research Center, Kent, Ohio-based Emergency Products + Research designed a device that sterilizes the rig and gear to make it safer for the patients and the paramedics. It’s already being adopted across the country.
