How Does the MIP Emergency Evacuation Sheet Work?

The MIP Emergency Evacuation Sheet is operated by two people, and works by cocooning the patient within their mattress to form a protective sledge for easy transit. The sheet is retained permanently underneath the mattress, ready at all times for use in the event of a fire or other emergency.

Instructions for Installation

1. Remove the mattress from the bed and lay the evacuation sheet flat over the bed base
2. Place the mattress over the evacuation sheet and refit the bedding
3. Pull the four elastic corners over the mattress, making sure they are easily accessible

Instructions for Use

1. Pull the straps out from under the mattress and secure around the patient using the clips
2. Place the pillow across the patients chest to reduce the risk of minor injuries during evacuation
3. Pull out the two pulling straps and the device is then ready for evacuation

Instructions for Evacuation

Please note that evacuation is recommended to be carried out by a minimum of two people.

1. Hold the pulling straps firmly at either end of the bed and pull the mattress off the bed
2. The second person should support the head of the patient as the mattress slides off
3. Pull the mattress along the ground with the patient in tow to the necessary evacuation point

Maintenance and Training Recommendations

It is recommended that the stitching, webbing and fabric condition of the evacuation sheet is inspected periodically to ensure that it's in full working order. It is also recommended that a spare evacuation sheet be used for training drills, as this ensures minimal wear and tear of the sheet used in a real emergency.

Skin-Friendly Design

This evacuation sheet is a great option for individuals with sensitive skin. It has a latex-free construction, helping to minimise the risk of allergic reactions and irritation, making it a suitable and comfortable choice for a diverse range of people.

Machine Washable for Optimal Hygiene

With a washable and reusable design, this MIP Emergency Sheet can be easily maintained. For environments where hygiene is of the upmost importance, its washable design helps to reduce the risk of vulnerable passengers contracting infections in transit.
