How Important is Time During Organ Transplants?

Published by the United Network for Organ Sharing, the article below describes the importance of rapid transportation of organs, and procurement teams, to provide a positive outcome for patients and hospitals alike. This article also outlines the current issues faced by transplant hospitals. 

As technology continues to develop new and more effective preservation methods for organs, Medi-Ops continues to provide the best transportation solutions in the United States. Via specially equipped aircraft, lights and siren vehicles, and (coming soon!) medical drone delivery support, Medi-Ops is here 24/7 to aid in successful transplantation efforts. 

In addition, all new organizations that join our organ transportation efforts in Colorado will receive waived fees associated with system development to get you started.

Rapid Response Air & Ground Courier

Here at Medi-Ops, we utilize Part 121, Part 129, and Part 135 operators to transport organs, blood, medications, and other medical devices! While we often do this via ground units outfitted with lights and sirens, fixed-wing and rotor aircraft allow faster transportation than ever before.

The photos above show a new Cessna 414 Fixed Wing Aircraft for use in air medical courier operations based out of Colorado. This aircraft has an average speed of 270 MPH, and a one-way flight distance of 1528 miles.

Because our medical courier aircraft are specifically outfitted for medical supplies, not patients, you never have to worry about this aircraft being out of service due to a pending patient medical emergency. We maintain a 24/7 communications and dispatch center that is always available to activate any type of transport.

Scene Response Policy

We operate our air medical couriers with three different activation codes. A facility can call and put us on Standby. This means our crew and aircraft are activated and ready to go, but not airborne. A ground unit with lights and sirens is also activated. Our second tier activation is called a Scene Standby. This means that the crew is activated, and flies to the emergency scene or closest airport. The emergency ground unit is also en route to the pickup for immediate transportation.

Should the aircraft or ground unit not be needed, the aircraft can be canceled. A Go or Full Activation means an aircraft is definitely needed. Any previous activation can be upgraded to full activation. Weather is, however, a non-negotiable factor in response – if weather inhibits safe flying operations, we will not activate. The pilot has the ultimate say if an operation is a go, providing the safest experience for the crew and your package.

If you need to place an order, please call our dispatch center at 844-633-4677 for immediate assistance.
