Vehicle Requirements

Posted: Friday, June 10, 2011 7:27 AM

Attached you will find the latest revisions to equipment and supply lists for licensed EMS vehicles. There are individual lists for non-transporting (Class A) vehicles, ground ambulances (Class B & C) and CCT vehicles (Class D & E).

These requirements become effective July 1, 2011 except for the EZ IO device for Class C vehicles. The EMS for Children program has secured funding to purchase EZ IO devices and needles for all operational Class C vehicles in the state. Until these are distributed to EMS agencies, a manual IO needle will suffice.

We anticipate protocol changes in the near future which will likely require further revision. Requirements will be updated once those changes have been determined.

Please contact either March Tucker or I at 558-3956 if you have questions.
