Mastervolt – Helping to save lives with CareFlight

by Andrew Wilson on 19 Nov 2008 NRMA CareFlight recently required power electronics for its helicopter training simulator based at the Westmead Hospital in Sydney. This simulator is designed to help train and teach trauma specialists and senior registrars the skills needed to perform critical care duties while attending a rapid response emergency medical retrieval.

NRMA CareFlight was in the need of specific equipment to operate it’s simulator in 'real life' situations. After meetings with several electronics manufactures in this field the CareFlight team decided that the Mastervolt Power Electronics package was best suited for its requirements.

The package consists of Mastervolt AGM deep cycle batteries, ChargeMaster battery chargers, Mass Sine inverters and digital battery monitoring systems for the simulator.

Cameron Wade from CareFlight said 'The CareFlight rescue winch simulator allows the doctors and aircrew to practise winching and patient care scenarios as a team; we require a strong, well developed and reliable electrical system so we can move the simulator into remote areas for training seminars at a moments notice. Mastervolt has been able to supply us with such a system'.

NRMA CareFlight has a strong focus on teaching and medical research. They play a major role in the evolution of critical care transport in Australia, having been a leader in research and development of both systems and equipment employed in retrieval medicine.

Their mission is to save lives, speed recovery and serve the community. Over the years, their purpose and philosophy have remained constant: to be a world class rapid response emergency medical retrieval service, accessible to all members of the community, including the marine industry.

Mastervolt Australia is very proud to be involved with this fantastic organization and look forward to a long and happy association with NRMA CareFlight.

Mastervolt develops, manufactures and distributes high-quality electro-technical systems for independent energy supply. With its head office and manufacturing in Amsterdam in the Netherlands, Mastervolt sells these systems in more than 60 countries throughout the world via a network of distributors and dealers.
