Giraffe Shuttle
The next generation of intra-hospital transport
The Giraffe Shuttle offers up to 45 minutes of electrical
power* to Giraffe or Panda beds, allowing you to provide
continuity of care for sick babies while helping to set a
new paradigm for simplified efficient infant transport
within a hospital building.
• Eliminate the need to transfer a baby from bed-to-bed.
The Giraffe Shuttle, in combination with the Giraffe
or Panda bed, helps reduce the potential for clinical
problems that can result from interrupted patient
thermal regulation, patient touch, handling and
movement, potentially challenging physiological
stability when moving babies to and from a
transport incubator.
• Customize your intra-hospital transport system.
The Giraffe Shuttle provides the capability to mount
various accessories and auxiliary equipment.
• Enjoy maneuverability. The Giraffe Shuttle connects
smoothly with any Giraffe or Panda bed; designed to
make it easier for you to steer the bed in tight spaces,
through doorways, down hallways, and around corners.
• Achieve workflow efficiency. In addition to all of its
clinical advantages, the Giraffe Shuttle can help save
time spent on transferring a baby from one bed to
another and cleaning those beds.
* Batteries are a fixed life storage device. As such, the use and care
of the batteries will greatly affect battery life. Heavy loads and long
run times will drastically reduce the life of the batteries. Refer to the
product labeling for additional information.
