Equipment

According to standards in EMS the ambulance motorbikes of the patrol are equipped with warning devices (blue flashing lights and sirens) as well as medical equipment like a defibrillator, an ECG, oxygen, a suction unit and an intubation kit for proper medical aid. All the life-saving devices they normally carry in an ambulance is packed into compact cases on the bikes. Technically each motorbike carries a modern radio transmitting set to ensure frictionless contact to the EMS control center or the highway patrol (police).
