Even though your budget is tight, you don’t need to compromise on patient safety. Install the S-CAPEPOD Budget Model permanently underneath the bed mattress.
Evacuating bedridden people in an emergency is not an easy task. That’s why you need equipment to minimise the likeliness of leaving someone behind. This evacuation sheet allows you to evacuate a person on the bed mattress. The person is firmly fixed by means of the cross straps. This will ensure a safe and swift escape.
The long cross straps are always visible under the mattress so you can deploy the S-CAPEPOD Budget very quickly. This way you prepare the patient for the evacuation in a matter of seconds. The loops in the fixation straps ensure a firm grip.
By firmly closing the cross straps, you form the mattress in a U-shape. This gives you less sliding resistance during the horizontal evacuation. This is also ideal for a vertical evacuation on the stairs.
A fire-retardant technique has been applied to the evacuation sheet. And this is not just a simple fire retardant coating that disappears after frequent washing. On the contrary, this safety source is inherent in the yarn. So it meets the M1 fire standard.
The S-CAPEPOD has been processed with Sanitized TH27-24. This Swiss technology provides an anti-bacterial effect and offers optimal protection against many well-known hospital bacteria. Evacuation sheets without an anti-bac effect can cause life-threatening situations.
If body fluids were to leak along the mattress, you want to prevent that they remain on the Evacuation Sheet. This can become a source of bacteria. Therefore, the fabric has a moisture-permeable property.
The S-CAPEPOD evacuation sheet is designed so that you don't have to leave vulnerable people behind. A large group of people needs assistance to escape the event of an emergency:

This training video was made in collaboration with UZ Brussel and is used to train hospital staff the safe use. More than 500 evacuation sheets are installed underneath the beds of the hospital.
If you are going to install this evacuation sheet, you and your colleagues will need to know how to use it. This step-by-step guide will help you become an expert with the S-CAPEPOD Budget Model.

If you were only focusing on moving patients from compartment A to compartment B on the same floor, then evacuating with a bed might be faster. However, the doorposts should be wide enough to be able to get through the door at all.
The main disadvantage of evacuating with beds is that they can cause blockades in the corridors of the safe compartment. Preparing for a horizontal evacuation alone is often not enough. If you think that a horizontal evacuation will be sufficient, it can lead to a lack of focus in risk assessments on a possible vertical evacuation. This can create gaps in the preparation for large-scale assisted evacuations (e.g. by the fire service) and in the provision of training and evacuation aids to descend the stairs. Evacuation with beds can therefore be faster, but it certainly entails high risks.
The S-CAPEPOD Budget Model is suitable for the following mattress sizes:
Width: 80-90 cm
Max. length: 210 cm
Obesity or Bariatric Mattresses are not suitable for this model. You will need to use the Bariatric S-CAPEPOD for this.
The evacuation sheet is easy to clean with a wipe and disinfectant or in the washing machine. Do not wash in combination with other textiles. Since the product contains hook and loop fasteners, it is recommended to place the S-CAPEPOD in a laundry bag. This way you always keep the product in an optimal condition and prevent the hook and loop fasteners from becoming entangled with one another.
No, you cannot use the S-CAPEPOD Budget Model with an alternating mattress. If you have an alternating pressure mattress, ou can use the Standard Model of the S-CAPEPOD Evacuation Sheets. Here’s a video on how to use it in combination with an alternating mattress:
No, this shouldn’t be possible. The cross straps at both the head and foot end are packed in so-called pockets that you can close with hook and loop fasteners. This prevents that the pulling straps will hang loose and get stuck in or between the bed.
No absolutely not. When you move a person from bed to the floor with the S-CAPEPOD Budget, you might think that the movement from bed to the floor is “painful”. However, the opposite is true. To let this transfer run smoothly, it is advised that you lower the mattress when the person’s buttocks are over the edge of the bed. This gives a natural “wave motion” of the body and allows you to lower the mattress in a controlled manner. If you are unable to make that “wave movement”, there is nothing wrong. The bed mattress and pillow provide enough support for your neck and back to absorb a possible blow. It is also advisable to put the bed in a low position. Taking the stairs is also not a problem.
How often you wash depends on the hygiene policy in your care facility. As a manufacturer, we recommend washing the evacuation sheets if they are soiled.
