Abstract

Objective: To propose the construction of an innovative system to isolate and transport people with infectious and contagious diseases with total safety to the physical integrity of both the health professionals involved in this activity and the patient himself. Material and Methods: The product was designed in TopSolid parametric design software, and its structure was manufactured with metallic plates, metalon, acrylic plates and a control system. Every automation system through pneumatics was made using pressure and flow controllers through the use of a PLC (programmable logic controller), thus allowing the insertion of medical protocols. The system allows air to exit the hermetic chamber (whether atmospheric and/or oxygen) sanitized, thus allowing a continuous flow with pressure and flow control without risk of infecting the external environment. Results: The results showed a great innovation that consisted of creating a proof of concept for use in hospitals, SAMUs, ambulances and aircraft, allowing safe isolation and transport for all involved. Conclusion: The innovative system for isolating and transporting people with infectious and contagious diseases proves to be effective for what was proposed, promoting technological innovations in the face of what already exists worldwide.
