Sheila: We have an evacuation chair at the Medtronic World Headquarters. The medical emergency response team trains members in the group for the person needing assistance. I recently retired from Medtronic but you may contact Adam Buckalew (member of the ERT) at 763-514-4000 (main line) for information about the evacuation chair. The chair was rather expensive, approximately $1000.

We need to accommodate a wheelchair-bound student in a 3rd-floor lab this Fall, so we=92r e looking at the purchase of an evacuation chair. From what I=92ve seen so far, the idea is to transfer the mobility-restricted worker/student to the evacuation chair; another worker/student/staff member then =91walks=92 the chair down the stairs. Features & prices vary.

Does anyone have experience to share about these devices?
