Re: Customers equipment from scene flights

Susan,

Here in the Buffalo, NY area, the receiving hospital is responsible for 
cleaning and storing this type of equipment until the owner gets a chance to 
pick it up (usually when they take a patient there by ground).

I'm not positive, but I'm pretty sure it's a state law....

Stay safe!

<< We are a Hospital based program with 2 BK 117's.  We have 1 aircraft at 
our primary Hospital with the second being remote located at another Hospital 
within the state.  We currently clean and mail equipment, i.e.:backboards, 
head blocks, CID's, straps, etc. back to our customers when we return to our 
primary base with the patient. Just curious what other programs do especially 
when the patient is brought to another Hospital.
 1. Do you tag the equipment to identify it?
 2. Who is responsible for cleaning it?
 3. How is the equipment collected?
 4. Is it delivered or mailed back?
 5. Is the receiving Hospital responsible for this, if so how?
 6. Are the requesters responsible for getting their own equipment back?
 
 Thanks for any information
 Susan
