EpiShuttle Patient Isolation Transport System

Advanced Infection Control. Designed for Critical Transport.

The EpiShuttle is an award-winning patient isolation transport system developed in close collaboration with clinical experts, paramedics, and patients. The EpiShuttle is used by Canadian Paramedic Services like BCEHS (British Columbia Emergency Health Services), EHS - Alberta (Emergency Health Services - Alberta), and ORNGE Critical Care. This purpose-built system is approved for emergency transport by Canadian Health Authorities for the safe transport of highly infectious or immunocompromised patients, delivers unmatched protection, usability, and operational efficiency.

As a trusted provider of advanced medical transport solutions, Rowland Emergency offers expert consultation, integration support, and procurement assistance for EpiShuttle systems across Canada.

Designed for use across ambulances, helicopters, and fixed-wing aircraft, the EpiShuttle enables safe, compliant transport while significantly reducing operational downtime, PPE usage, and contamination risk.

This is about protecting patients, clinicians, and transport assets—without compromising readiness.

No Vehicle Disinfection Required

Vehicles used to transport infectious patients inside the EpiShuttle do not require disinfection after transport. Contaminants remain fully contained within the unit, allowing vehicles to return to service immediately—saving time, reducing costs, and maximizing fleet availability.

Dual-Mode Pressure Protection

The advanced ventilation system supports both negative pressure (protecting staff and surroundings from contagious patients) and positive pressure (protecting immunocompromised patients from the environment). With over 15 air exchanges per hour and HEPA filtration, the EpiShuttle delivers continuous containment without compromising patient comfort.

Fully EMS & Aviation Compatible

The EpiShuttle is EN 1789 compliant and approved for use in:

  • Ground ambulances
  • Helicopters
  • Fixed-wing aircraft

Adapters are available for leading stretcher brands, along with L-track attachment options and universal brackets, ensuring seamless integration into existing transport platforms.

Reusable, Cost-Efficient & Clinically Accessible

Designed for repeated use, the EpiShuttle can be safely disinfected and reassembled in under two hours, dramatically reducing cost per transport compared to single-use isolators. Integrated operator ports, medical access points, and an adjustable patient bed allow advanced clinical care while maintaining full isolation.

B.C. buys EpiShuttles to transport high-threat pathogen patients

With international travel so common, it’s not as difficult for rare and dangerous illnesses to appear in our country.

Now, health officials have a new tool if a highly infectious disease is suspected and the patient needs transporting.

It’s called the EpiShuttle.

Manitoba airline implementing new tool to transfer COVID-19 patients

Keewatin Air says it is now ready to deploy the EpiShuttle, a single-patient isolation and transportation unit to help transport contagious patients who need additional care due to COVID-19.

“It has a dual role,” said Jason Kendall, the person responsible for maintenance with Keewatin Air. “It provides a layer of safety to the patient, because it keeps them protected from the environment, and it keeps the medical people protected from the patient.”

With the EpiShuttle, medivac service providers can perform patient monitoring and full intensive care of infected patients during air, land, and sea transport.
