Dear EMS Community:

A Pennsylvania-Based Volunteer Ambulance Service sent a patient to ECMC some time ago.  After many exhaustive searches, we have not been able to locate the well-labeled backboard, straps, and HID.  This is extremely unusual and we’re asking all services to please check the equipment at your agency.  So many agencies have the same equipment that it’s easy to inadvertently grab the wrong thing!

THE SPECIFICS:

Lime Green Iron Duck Backboard with labeling as follows:

6 inches below reading top to bottom center of board

ELDRED BORO VFD,A

814-225-3126

1 inch below reading right to left

PLATT ST

ELDRED, PA

16731

————-

HID and Straps:

Top of Board Orange HID  ( FERNO )

3 Quick connect straps (FERNO) with seat belt style buckles

MA-4 Printed on strap in Paint

 

If you find this equipment, please contact the Office of Prehospital Care at (716) 898-3600.

Thanks in advance!
