Adventure Lights Launch new TRIAGE Marking Equipment
Montreal, Canada - 14 April 2011 --[ASDWire]-- A new configuration of VIP light (the ALERT – Area and Location Emergency Response TRIAGE) was successfully trialled recently by the Walter Reed Army Medical Centre for use in Mass Casualty and Emergency Response scenarios.
The light kit comprises a pick up and go equipment set that marks TRIAGE areas with high and low intensity light beacons to assist in swift casualty segregation and TRIAGE operations. The lights can also be used to mark CASEVAC helicopter LZ’s, safe routes and contaminated danger areas for First Responders.
The high visibility lights (based on the widely deployed VIP TM used by almost every SF unit globally), are configured to emit the colours used by NATO to designate casualty status and come complete with multiple purpose mounts for use in urban or rural settings. They can be set to a steady on or flashing configuration using the patented reverse polarity battery feature, and also fitted with light diffusers to make light wands if required.
SGM S.T.Craig of the Army Medical Centre Brigade and his team worked to develop the configuration with Adventure Lights. Overall the product received good comments from the instructors and soldiers.
Major advantages over current chemlight markers and lights include :
longer standby shelf life, lower throughlife costs (due to multiple use capability in training and deployments) ability to be configured to flash or steady signals in 5 colours , greater illumination envelope, and can be used in sub zero temperatures and hostile environmental conditions.
Adventure Lights is a well established (over 15 years) specialised tactical, covert lighting, SAR and emergency response beacon provider to over 50 countries, and is based in Montreal, Canada.
VIP ALERT can be seen for the first time in Europe at Counter Terror Expo 2011 - 19th to 21st April at booth A40 – Thomas Jacks Ltd, Adventure Lights UK Distributor. http://www.counterterrorexpo.com/
