Refinements Will Speed Casualty Decontamination

Two refinements to standard decontamination equipment designed to speed the decontamination of casualties up are announced by Professional Protection Systems.
Suppliers of the NHS standard decontamination shower as well as of mass-decon facilities to HM Government equipment PPS also supply similar equipment to emergency services all over the world. These two new developments are the direct result of consultation with these users of PPS equipment.

The first development is an automatic dosing system (ADS) for use in the decontamination facility that delivers a controlled amount of detergent to the water system to allow a thorough decontamination of casualties.
  Mass Decontamination Range
The second is a casualty movement control system (CMCS). This offers an automated system of dealing with contaminated personnel and can be used in conjunction with the ADS.

The CMCS is a voice/strobe unit set with a three-minute rotation that includes two minutes to decontaminate and one minute to rinse. Although the time can be adjusted three minutes is considered the optimum time needed for decontamination in most scenarios. The unit also manages the rest of the casualty decon process through undress, decon, rinse to redress.

The complete unit, visual strobe system and audible sound system, comes in an impact resistant case with a fold down handle, side handle and wheels for ease of transportation
