Colleagues,
1. We are in the midst of prototyping our new clinical packs. And we need your help. Soon we will be flying in our AW169.

.
It is five years since we last redesigned our packs – details are here.

.
3. The concepts of ergonomic design remain current:
.
a) Functional coherence
b) Facilitation of communication
c) Facilitation of task accomplishment
d) Adaptable space
.

4. We welcome your feedback.

The Airway and Ultrasound modules use foam inserts. This is a new concept for us.
