Ferno Power X1 Cot Demo and Overview

 

Trent Harris, Master Medical Equipment’s clinical sales specialist, has been in the Emergency Medical Service for 25 years as of this year. For Trent and the rest of our first responders, getting the patient to the hospital as safe as possible is a top priority. Today, we’d like to cover the Power X1 from Ferno and just what makes this stretcher stand out to Trent and why it should stand out to you.

A fantastic place to start is the lithium-ion battery technology. This battery delivers 69% more power than other options on the market. This battery can power 113 cycles with a 250lb patient, making mobility a focal point for this device.

Moving to the side of the stretcher, we have a three-stage IV pole that collapses down to the side of the bed when it is out of use. Another notable feature on the side of the cot is the sideboards. These sideboards are sturdy enough to double as a slide board to slide the patient onto a hospital bed with a wide range of motion. At the foot of the cot are grips that can be depressed to adjust the knee gatch, perfect for patient comfort.

The Power X1 stretcher is very clear and organized for strap organization. With pre-defined connection points and color-coded straps, the Power X1 prioritizes speed and efficiency in patient transport.

On the back of the stretcher, two small pouches are attached to the back of the cot for holding small medical supplies. On the top of the frame are two handles that can be depressed to adjust the angle of the cot to accommodate patient comfort best. Below the cot is the adjustable frame that allows for a full range of motion to accommodate rescuers.

The Power X1 also comes with a counter to track its number of uses to help with maintenance.

And speaking of counting things…

Ferno claims that the Power X1 can lift 700 pounds unassisted. So we decided to test it. We assembled a team of MME staff with a combined weight of 885 pounds, and the stretcher lifted them all with ease. We did this process a few more times with no issues at all.

Don’t believe it? You can watch our video on the Ferno Power X1 below.
