China-led first ISO international standard in ambulance field released

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The first ISO international standard in the ambulance field, titled "Technical Specification for Medical Cabins of Negative Pressure Ambulances," with China leading its development, was recently officially released.

Negative pressure ambulance is an important medical equipment, mainly used for the safe isolation and transfer of infectious patients, and plays an important role in the control of various respiratory infectious diseases. 

This international standard first proposed the technical requirements for the medical cabins of negative pressure ambulance, including sealing and isolation performance, negative pressure performance, ventilation rate, air directional flow, disinfection system function, filter and disinfection devices of negative pressure system and other related technical indicators and test methods.

The release of this international standard further standardizes the technical indicators of medical cabins, ensuring that medical cabins can provide more reliable medical services during the transfer of patients, greatly improving the safety, effectiveness and timeliness of patient rescue work in high infectious environments.

The new standard also provides a reference for the technical specifications of negative pressure ambulance medical cabins for countries around the world, which will have a positive impact on the prevention and control of respiratory infectious diseases worldwide. Experts from China, France and Italy participated in the research and formulation of this standard.
