Air ambulance service support

 
 

In 2016 an air ambulance development state project was launched. It focuses on increasing the availability of emergency medical care for the population. Effective air ambulance is a sign of a modern socially responsible country. Air ambulance helicopters are on duty around the clock in Russia regions saving lives every day. Therefore, today air ambulance development is one of the priority projects in Russia and it is unprecedentedly supported by the government. The air ambulance development program is planned to operate until 2025. At its initial stage this program plans to supply about 30 new MI-8 and Ansat helicopters annually for the needs of the country's medical institutions under the financial leasing scheme. The overwhelming majority of them have an MM-148.9520.000, ММВ.9520.000-03 (-04), ММ-А.9520.000, ММС.9520.000 or ММ-226.9520.000 type aircraft medical module (AMM) on board. In addition to oxygen and electrical systems, the modules are equipped with modern medical equipment manufactured by WEINMANN Emergency Medical Technology GmbH, GS Elektromedizinische Geräte G. Stemple GmbH, Spencer, ZOLL Medical Corporation, CareFusion, SCHILER AG, CRITICARE SYSTEMS, INC., Bertocchi S.r.l. Elettromedicali and B. Braun Melsungen AG.

Regular maintenance in companies that have the appropriate Roszdravnadzor licenses and qualified personnel authorized by medical equipment manufacturers are envisaged for aircraft and medical equipment included in aircraft medical modules. However, it turns out not to be easy to provide the maintenance and repair of medical products. Serious efforts and complex logistics are required from the operator to move the equipment to certified service centers located in major cities.

In addition, local hospitals and clinics do not have engineers authorized by manufacturing companies to operate such specific portable equipment.

That is why, in 2018, Aviasystems made a decision to create a subdivision for integrated maintenance and repair (MR) aircraft medical modules (AMM) equipped with modern medical equipment and received a medical equipment maintenance and repair license from the Federal Service for Surveillance in Healthcare in 2020. 

From now on, an aircraft medical module-equipped aerial vehicle operator can receive all the necessary single window mode services from a supplier with certified personnel and "aircraft and medical" licenses. The services are provided directly at the aircraft location. The fault detection of all medical aircraft module systems and medical equipment is provided by the company's engineers free of charge, on a call-out basis. There is an option of concluding annual module serviceability support agreements providing for mandatory routine maintenance work, as well as additional faulty equipment repair work. For full services see below.
