Customer Profile
UNICAIR, based in Wiesbaden, operates worldwide air ambulance services, providing emergency medical transport for patients in remote or critical locations. The company conducts hundreds of flights annually for insurance providers, governments, and business partners, offering intensive care capabilities onboard.

Challenge
Accurate and timely patient documentation during flights is essential for continuity of care. Manual recording was inefficient and prone to error, especially in the confined and mobile environment of an aircraft.

Solution
UNICAIR equipped its fleet with the DASCOM DP-581 mobile thermal printer. The compact, robust design fits seamlessly into aircraft cabins. Using Wi-Fi, the printer connects directly to iPads running the AmbulancePad software, enabling secure, digital-to-paper documentation without internet dependency.

Benefits

• 1. Efficiency: High-speed printing (up to 11 pages/minute) of sharp, A4 medical records supports quick handover at destination hospitals.

• 2. Reliability: Works flawlessly at high altitudes with minimal maintenance—essential for continuous global operations.

• 3. Ease of Use: Wireless connectivity and intuitive integration allow medical staff to focus on patient care rather paperwork.

• 4. Durability: Waterproof, dustproof, and designed for mobile use in demanding conditions.

Quote
“This printing process enables efficient patient transfer to the next hospital. This is particularly important because the time available in organizing missions is a major challenge. Every minute counts.”

– Dennis Luetz-Hawranke, UNICAIR

Conclusion
The DASCOM DP-581 has transformed in-flight documentation for UNICAIR, enhancing the speed, accuracy, and reliability of patient records during critical care transport.
