Answer

Dear Ms. Twedt:

Most shipping charges for order under $50 is around $8.  If the items is shipped express delivery, coming from different warehouses or are manufacturer direct, the shipping charge may be greater.  In case of your order, two of the items are manufacturer direct.

Question
Please forward this email to a sales manager, or the appropriate person. I need a price quote on 10 fully functional, ready to use, AEDs. AED trainers, CPR manikins, AHA Books if you stock them, or can order them Heartsaver, BLS for HCP, PALS, ACLS, 20 First Responder Books, and 20 EMT-B books. Basically I need a price breakdown of each and every piece of equipment needed to instruct CPR classes, PALS, ACLS, First Responder courses, and EMT-B courses. But here''s the catch. . .I need it by this afternoon, or @ the absolute latest, tuesday @ noon. I have an opportunity for $25,000.00 in non traditional grant money available specifically to me, but it''s time dependent. I''ve been @ work all weekend, and have been unable to look every piece of equipment, and its price. The 25,000 is not a cash donation to me. . .its a payment directly from the Grantee to a medical supply company who can provide the needed equipment, books, and supplies, etc. Its not guaranteed @ this point, but the sooner the price list is complete, the application is submitted, and time is a factor. If anyone @ Boundtree is interested in this, let me know. I''m sure someone there works on commission. The best way to get a hold of me today is my email address listed below. This same email has been sent to your competitors. Thanks, Jon. Edwards Critical Care Paramedic AHA CPR Instructor 605 848-2003 ParamedicEdwards@hotmail.com

Question
Hi. We have a set of dual queen adjustable beds in our RV, but because the motor is in the box spring, and its on a non-removable platform, the bed is too tall. I'm looking for a better way, either manual or electric. If we take the legs off your model M003CCNKM, would it still work Thanks!

Answer
Unfortunately, removing the legs on the bed will not work.  The cranks on the manual beds are located right at base of the platform and will not be able to turn without floor clearance.  On the electrical beds, the motors are located below the base as well.  The best solution may be the Hi-Low beds.  Please take a look at our selection Hi Low Hospital Beds or call us for more information at 877-706-4480.

Question
How tamper proof is the locking mechanism on the doors; we are considering specifying this cabinet for a medical office in a Corrections Facility.

Answer

Dear Ceci:

Thank you for your inquiry.  These cabinets and locks are especially designed for industrial applications and facilities with high risk of vandalism.  This cabinet would certainly be applicable for correctional facility setting.  Ultimately, if someone wants to get into this cabinet, given adequate time and proper tools, they will.  But the 22 gauge steel door and 14 gauge steel mesh will make the effort much more difficult in comparison with other commercially available non-vandal proof cabinets.

Question
i would like to know how long can you use one of these do you need to put a clean one on each time you go to another home or can you use the same one thank you.

Answer

Dear Ms. Mcneill:

The effective time duration for any filtration mask depends on the cleanliness of the breathable air.  In other words, the cleaner the air the longer the effectiveness of the mask.  Under normal conditions the mask will last 20 min to a couple of hours.  Also, please keep in mind that the effectiveness of the masks also depends on the build in filter.  N95 mask can filter out 98% of air particles as small as a micron.  If you would like to tell us more about your working environment, we may be able to recommend a suitable mask.  As a general practice, we would recommend changing masks for every visit.  Finally, keep in mind the benefits of the masks are optimum when both patient and the caregiver are wearing them.
