EB EMERAIR ALS Bolsa/Paquete

What makes the Elite Bags EMERAIR ALS Bag infection-control rated?

The EMERAIR features a specially engineered tarpaulin outer shell with an infection-control lining that can be fully wiped down using standard hospital-grade disinfecting wipes, including quaternary ammonium compounds. The material is impervious to bloodborne pathogens and body fluids, meeting prehospital infection-control requirements aligned with OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogen Standard. No special decontamination procedures are needed — a standard wipe-down restores the exterior to a clean state after every call.

What does the EMERAIR ALS Bag come with, and what modules are included?

The Elite Bags EMERAIR (EB206.007) ships with four detachable color-coded modules with Velcro backing for organized ALS staging, one isothermal ampoule holder for temperature-sensitive medications, and integrated oxygen cylinder compatibility with an external pass-through compartment. Medical supplies are not included — the bag and modules are sold empty so agencies can configure their own ALS formulary and protocol-driven loadout.

What size oxygen cylinder does the Elite Bags EMERAIR hold?

The EMERAIR includes a dedicated oxygen cylinder compartment designed to accommodate standard D-size cylinders with attached regulator. The compartment features an external pass-through so providers can connect tubing and access the cylinder flow control without opening the main bag, significantly speeding up O2 administration during resuscitation.

How big is the Elite Bags EMERAIR ALS Pack and how is it carried?

The EMERAIR measures 11.8" × 22.2" × 9.25" and weighs approximately 6.6 lbs (3 kg) empty. It is designed as a backpack with padded mesh shoulder straps, a removable waist strap for load distribution, and a robust top grab handle for quick lifting from vehicles. The carry system is ergonomically designed for extended wears during mass casualty events or prolonged scene operations.

Is the Elite Bags EMERAIR suitable for both BLS and ALS configurations?

While the EMERAIR is primarily sized and organized for full Advanced Life Support loadouts — including drug modules, IV therapy supplies, airway management gear, and an oxygen cylinder — its modular design allows partial configuration for BLS use as well. Agencies can remove or substitute modules to match their licensure level and protocol. Elite Bags manufactures a separate BLS-focused rescue backpack (EM13.029) for teams that prefer a purpose-built BLS platform.
