Correct. All Spencer’s ambulance stretchers are compliant with the UNI EN 1789:2007 (which define the specifications for emergency vehicles and the medical devices within it) and the UNI EN 1865-1, which identifies the requirements for the design and performance of stretchers and patient handling equipment used in road ambulances. All stretchers are 10G tested and certified.

All Spencer’s class I medical devices are compliant with the new EU MDR Directive (2017/745). Spencer’s class II medical devices will be made compliant by the end of July 2023, as stated by the regulation.

Through the CE marking Spencer declares that a specific medical device is in compliance with the general safety and performance requirements (GSPR) of all relevant European regulations on medical devices. We have decided to introduce CE marked devices to non-EU markets as well, as we believe our overseas customers would benefit from increased levels of safety and performance.

If required by the legislation of a specific market, requirements established by local authorities will be applicable to the products we provide.

Ambulances in different parts of the world have a unique structure and dimension. To better undertand which stretcher can fit your ambulance, measure the distance between the ambulance floor and the ground. Add to this measure the height of any fixation or ambulance stretcher support system you plan to install. Once you do this, compare this measure with the loading height (height from the ground) of our 160 models of ambulance stretchers. You will find the one that will perfectly load into your ambulance. If the measure is not exactly matching any of the models we build, bear in mind that some of our ambulance stretchers we construct (like Crossover or Cross) can be set to any range from 52 to 70 cm during the installation phase.

In any case, you are more than welcome to speak with any of our experts to dispell all your doubts.
