19 March 2020: Ansat helicopters will now be equipped with a special module for transporting neonatal patients. Ural Optical and Mechanical Plant together developed this new module for neonatal air transport. After passing all the certification tests Russian Federal Air Transport Agency gave permission to Kazan Helicopters to equip the Ansat helicopters. In May 2015, a supplement to the type certificate for the modification of the helicopter with a medical module was obtained.
The speciality of air-borne neo-natal module
- The certification team demonstrated the capabilities of the model to conduct emergency evacuation of the crew, medical workers and a neonatal patient during the ground testing stage
- Flight tests evaluated the performance of the module and verified its electromagnetic compatibility with the standard equipment of the helicopter.
- Kazan Aggregate Plant developed a special platform for the incubator to replace the more traditional stretcher design.
- No redesign of the helicopter interior was required.
- The incubator comes with a set of medical equipment, including an artificial lung ventilator, a monitoring unit, an aspirator, and an infusion pump.
"The capability to install a neonatal medical module for Ansat had been in demand for a long time. Thanks to cooperation of Rostec holding companies and other partners, the helicopter now comes with upgraded equipment, allowing medical teams to continuously monitor the condition of a child, maintain the vital body functions and conduct intensive therapy during the flight," said Managing Director of Kazan Helicopters Yuri Pustovgarov.
