9.2 CLEANING

The goal of reprocessing shared patient care equipment is to achieve a level of cleaning, disinfection or sterilization
which eliminates the risk of these objects as the source of microorganisms causing infections. Environmental
cleaning is an important part of breaking the chain of infection. There are a variety of disinfectants available to
combat infectious microorganisms. Infection control professionals (ICPs) and patient-care staff should work
together to identify the high-touch surfaces and then determine the appropriate chemical germicide, cleaning
method, and schedule.

9.2.1 OXYGEN LINE CLEANING


Clean all lines and fittings which have not been cleaned and sealed by one of the following methods:
(1) A vapor-degreasing method with stabilized trichloroethylene conforming to Specification
MIL-T-7003 or carbon tetrachloride. Blow tubing clean and dry with a stream of clean, dried,
water pumped air, or dry nitrogen (water-vapor content of less than 0.005 milligrams per
liter of gas at 70°F and 760 millimeters of mercury pressure).
(2) Flush with naptha conforming to Specification TT-N-95; blow clean and dry of all solvent
with water-pumped air; flush with anti icing fluid conforming to Specification MIL-F5566 or
anhydrous ethyl alcohol; rinse thoroughly with fresh water; and dry thoroughly with a stream
of clean, dried, water-pumped air or by heating at a temperature of 250° to 300°F for one-half
hour.
(3) Flush with hot inhibited alkaline cleaner until free from oil and grease; rinse thoroughly
with fresh water; and dry thoroughly with a stream of clean, dried, water-pumped air, or by
heating at a temperature of 250° to 300° F for one-half hour.

CAUTION: Use of Trichloroethylene may strip paints and dissolve plastic.

CAUTION: When cleaning with any chemical, make sure to use in a well ventilated area while
wearing appropriate personal safety equipment.

9.2.2 MODULE CLEANING/DISINFECTING

Any EPA-registered hospital detergent-disinfectant currently used by healthcare facilities for environmental
sanitation may be used for cleaning the ambulance module. Detergent manufacturer recommendations for
concentration, contact time and care in handling should be followed.

Household bleach may also be used as a disinfectant. It has a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity and leaves
no residue. Chlorine is fast-acting and meets OSHA requirements for the clean-up of blood spills, but because
bleach is corrosive to metals, wool, nylon, silk, dyed fabric and painted surfaces, do not use on a regular basis for
cleaning/disinfectant purposes. Bleach manufacturer recommendations for concentration, contact time, and care
in handling should be followed.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) should be worn when cleaning surfaces or equipment currently or previously
occupied by or used for a person who is ill.

In order to contain all cleaning products and to eliminate any unintentional damage to the aircraft interior, it is
recommended that when cleaning module and stretcher, remove (uninstall) according to instructions on page 55
of this manual, and installation drawings 6045 located in appendix A of the Manual.

SECTION 11: GENERAL MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

11.1 STRUCTURAL

This Section gives general information on the repair of Spectrum Aeromed structural parts. Typically the
structural members of Spectrum Aeromed parts are steel or aluminum. The inspecting mechanic should
follow these guidelines during structural inspections and repairs.

1) Surface scratches are allowed and aesthetic touchup is allowed.

2) Minor dents or wear on tubes are allowed as described below:

Dents or scratches less than 4% of the smallest tube cross section may be disregarded. A dent on
one side or corner of square, round or rectangular tube is allowed up to 10% of smallest tube cross
dimension. For example:

A dent on one corner of a 1x2 rectangular tube is found to be .090 inches deep. The smallest
cross dimension of the tube is 1 inch. The dent is less than 10% of 1 inch (.100 inches) and is only
on one corner so the part is acceptable.

Another example:
Dents on two corners of a 1x2 rectangular tube are found to be .090 inches and .035 deep. The
smallest cross dimension of the tube is 1 inch. The first dent is less than 10% of 1 inch (.100
inches) and the second dent is less than 4% of 1 inch (.040 inches) so the part is acceptable.

Deviations from this guidance of allowable dent size and placement or type of repair may be made
only with engineering concurrence.

3) Minor dents or wear on plates are allowed as described below:

68
SPECTRUM AEROMED MANUAL 6045MM
DATE: 11 January 2017 REV: 2

Dents or scratches less than 25% of the material thickness may be disregarded. A dent is allowed up
to 100% of the material thickness if the edge distance to the nearest fastener is greater than 3 times
the diameter of the fastener. For example:

A dent on a .063 thick plate is found to be .012 inches deep. The dent is less than 25% of .063
inch (.0157 inches) so the part is acceptable.

Another example:
A dent on a .125 thick plate is found to be .075 inches deep and the edge of the dent is .75 inches
from the edge of an .188-dia hole for a bolt. The dent is less than 100% of the thickness (.125
inches) and the edge distance is greater than 3 times the fastener hole diameter (3 x .188 = .564
< .75) so the part is acceptable.

Deviations from this guidance of allowable dent size and placement or type of repair may be made
only with engineering concurrence.

4) All accessible areas should be visually inspected for any corrosion, cleaned and protected.

69
SPECTRUM AEROMED MANUAL 6045MM
DATE: 11 January 2017 REV: 2

5) Loose fasteners should be secured in the following manner:

A) Bolt holes should be inspected for correct fit before tightening. The bolthole diameter should
be no more than .010 inch larger than the bolt diameter;
B) Machine screw holes should be inspected for correct fit before tightening. The screw hole
diameter should be no more than .030 inch larger than the screw diameter;
C) Sheet metal screw holes should be inspected for correct fit before tightening. The screw hole
should provide for a tight fit when secure, and;

6) Oversize or out of round bolt and screw holes may be drilled over size and one size larger fastener
used if the edge distance to the hole centerline is greater than 1.5 times the new hole diameter.

e/D > 1.5 where e = distance from edge to hole center


and D = oversize hole diameter

For example:
A .25 diameter AN-4 bolt is found to be loose. Upon removal, the hole is measured at .275
diameter and the hole center is .5 from the nearest material edge on either part. Because .275 -
.25 = .025 > .010 exceeds the allowable bolthole over size, it must be replaced with an over size
bolt. The AN-5 bolt is .313 diameter. The minimum allowable edge distance is determined to be
.313 diameter x 1.5 = .469 inches and the actual distance is .5 inches. The hole may be over sized
for the AN-5 bolt.

Deviations from this guidance with less than 1.5 e/D ratio may be made only with engineering
concurrence.

7) All welded repairs shall be made only with engineering concurrence.

8) Spectrum Aeromed fiberglass or plastic parts are not structural and considered light load laminate
structures. Remove and replace any non-servicable part.

9) Special considerations should be given to tightening fasteners in the thin wall interfaces. Torque
values for tightening nuts and bolts (or screws) can be found in Section 11.2 on page 71 of this
manual.

22759/16 specifications-Refer to following pages for general electrical repair).

NOTE: Refer to page 64 of this manual for Visual Inspection criteria

72
SPECTRUM AEROMED MANUAL 6045MM
DATE: 11 January 2017 REV: 2

11.4 INSPECTION AND CARE OF ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS

11.4.1 INSPECTION AND OPERATION CHECKS

All electrical equipment, assemblies and wiring installations should be inspected for damage, general
condition, and proper functioning to ensure the continued satisfactory operation of the electrical
system. Replace components of the electrical system that are damaged or defective with identical
replacement parts. A list of suggested problems to look for and checks to be performed are:

Damaged, discolored, or overheated equipment, connections, wiring, and installations.


Excessive heat or discoloration at high current carrying connections.
Poor electrical bonding (broken, disconnected or corroded bonding strap) and grounding, including
evidence of corrosion.
Dirty equipment and connections.
Improper, broken, inadequately supported wiring and conduit, loose connections of terminals, and
loose ferrules.
Poor mechanical or cold solder joints.
Condition of circuit breaker and fuses.
Insufficient clearance between exposed current carrying parts and ground or poor insulation of exposed
terminals.
Broken or missing safety wire, broken bundle lacing, cotter pins, etc.
Operational check of electrically operated equipment such as inverters, pumps, etc.
Ensure that ventilation and cooling air passages are clear and unobstructed.
Voltage check of electrical system with portable precision voltmeter.

INSULATION OF ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT.

In some cases, electrical equipment is connected into a heavy current circuit, perhaps as a
control device or relay. Such equipment is normally insulated from the mounting structure
since grounding the frame of the equipment may result in a serious ground fault in the
event of equipment internal failure. Stranded 18 or 20 AWG wire should be used as a
grounding strap to avoid shock hazard to equipment and personnel. If the end
connection is used for shock hazard, the ground wire must be large enough to carry the
highest possible current (0.1 to 0.2 ohms max.).

BUS BARS.

Annually check bus bars for general condition, cleanliness, and security of all attachments and terminals.
Grease, corrosion, or dirt on any electrical junction may cause the connections to overheat and
eventually fail. Bus bars that exhibit corrosion, even in limited amounts, should be disassembled,
cleaned and brightened, and reinstalled.

INSPECTION OF EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION:


Generator and alternator electrical load limits should not exceed 80% of output unless the aircraft
manufacturer has allowable limits otherwise stated.

73
SPECTRUM AEROMED MANUAL 6045MM
DATE: 11 January 2017 REV: 2

INSPECTION OF CIRCUIT PROTECTION DEVICES: No additional items.

ELECTRICAL WIRE RATING, SELECTION AND TABLE:


Only copper wiring meeting MIL-W-22759 specifications may be used in Spectrum aircraft parts.

to the aircraft operator for completion before the equipment is used in actual service, when applicable.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND INSPECTION: No additional items.

SERVICE LOOP HARNESS, CLAMPING AND INSULATION AND LACING STRING TIE: No additional
items.

SPLICING:
Whenever practical, splicing a wire should be avoided and a new full length of wire should be used. No
more than one splice should be made in any wire without having additional approved data. No wire size
greater than 12 gauge should be spliced without approved data.

TERMINAL REPAIRS, GROUNDING AND BONDING: No additional items.

WIRE MARKING:
Care should be taken to ensure that wires are marked in accordance with the original wiring diagrams.

USE AND PROTECTION OF CONNECTORS AND CONDUITS: No additional items.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

Report 6045B has been created to provide engineering substantiation for the installation of
Spectrum medical system (refer to Drawing 6045DL for parts eligible for installation), in a Pilatus
PC-12, PC-12/45, PC-12/47 and PC-12/47E series aircraft. Reference report 6045A, for current
drawings and report revision / engineering change order status. This installation is intended to
allow the aircraft to be converted into an air ambulance and provide expedient transportation for
medical patients.

2.0 DESCRIPTION

Spectrum Aeromed has developed modular medical systems for installation into a Pilatus PC-12,
PC-12/45, PC-12/47 and PC-12/47E series aircraft. The medical system(s) consists of an
adapter (which is attached to the existing seat track), a medical base, (which attaches to the
adapter), and a stretcher (which attaches to the base). Spectrum Aeromed has designed similar
systems for installation and has obtained STC approval for this type of installation into numerous
aircraft to include Learjet 20, 30, 55, & 60 series aircraft, Cessna Citations, Beechcraft, etc.

Drawing 6045 details the cabin arrangements of the medical interior. Structural substantiation for
each component to be installed will be found in their respective reports.

Revision: 2 (Two)
Spectrum Aeromed Report 6045B Page 4 of 8

3.0 ELECTRICAL LOAD EVALUATION

The electrical load drawn by the medical system is compared to the power available during
steady state operation. The electrical equipment is intended to provide electrical and pneumatic
output for medical patient transportation.

3.1 MEDICAL SYSTEM LOAD

In the worst case scenario, the maximum continuous loads for available components are
calculated.

System 2800-003
1000VA Inverter - 41.5 amps
Air Compressor (2 ea. @ 4.0) - 8.0 amps (total)
Vacuum Pump - 2.5 amps
ITS 28 VDC (aircraft power) - 7.5 amps
Lights (Med Wall, Post Light) - 1.4 amps

_________________________________________________________
Medical Systems 60.9 amps (highest electrical option)

Total amperage draw with medical systems installed = 60.9 amps

The above load occurs when the ambulance module is at maximum continuous electrical usage.
Normal operating loads will be less.

Sections 3.2 thru 3.4 represent a typical electrical load analysis. The electrical load MUST be
evaluated for each specific aircraft in accordance with FAR 23.1351.

3.2 TYPICAL AIRCRAFT POWER

The maximum typical electrical loading for a Pilatus PC-12 series is considered below. The
aircraft continuous cruse electrical load is typically 275.8 amps maximum for night IFR in icing
conditions(Ref Appendix A).

Maximum Typical Usage = 275.8 amps + 65.9 amps = 336.7 amps

Electrical Capacity = Starter Generator 300 amps + Alternator 130 amps = 430 amps

Electrical Load = 336.7 amps / 430 amps = 78.3 %

This is a typical electrical load analysis, and the electrical loading for each individual aircraft must
be determined. In all cases, the installer must ensure that sufficient electrical capacity exists in
any flight condition. If the aircraft has optional equipment, such as galley oven or cabin inverter,
the operator will need to eliminate the capability of the occupants to inadvertently overload the
electrical system.

Revision: 2 (Two)
Spectrum Aeromed Report 6045B Page 5 of 8

3.3 ELECTRICAL CONSIDERATION FOR PILATUS PC-12 SERIES

Under most medical and flying situations, the power usage will be substantially less. Under all
circumstances, the pilot should monitor the electrical loads and refer to the approved Aircraft
Flight Manual (AFM) and the Flight Manual Supplement (FMS) when unusual conditions exist.
Should an excessive electrical load situation occur, use of non-essential mission equipment items
should be terminated one at a time until the electrical load indicates safe operating conditions
have been re-established. When operating during emergency or unusual operations, extreme
caution should be used.

An EMI evaluation as outlined in Report 6045E must be completed by the operator prior to
placing the aircraft into medical service. The installer is responsible to perform an
electrical load evaluation on each specific aircraft by comparing the electrical load drawn
by installed systems including the ambulance module and the power available during
steady state operation.

4.0 OXYGEN SYSTEM

The oxygen supplied by the ambulance system is specifically for medical use, and not to be used
as a supplement with respect to F.A.R. 23.1441. The interior compliance inspection for initial
certification will evaluate the availability of the existing emergency oxygen masks, but the installer
must ensure that emergency oxygen is available to all passengers for each specific installation.

Revision: 2 (Two)
Spectrum Aeromed Report 6045B Page 6 of 8

5.0 WEIGHT AND BALANCE

The installer must amend the aircraft weight and balance when installing the medical system.
The component weights can be found in drawing 6045. The weight and location of the
ambulance module and adapter should be included in the new weight and balance data. The
weights, moments and arms of the accessories should be accounted for by the pilot for the
specific loading for the flight and should not be used by the installer to determine the aircraft
empty weight. A sample amendment to the weight and balance is shown below. The actual
components, weights and locations should be used to amend the weight and balance for the
specific aircraft installation.

6.0 EMERGENCY EXITS AND EXISTING SEATING

The modification of most standard approved interiors with the ambulance medical system will not
hinder the emergency egress of passengers or personnel from the aircraft as prescribed in F.A.R.
23.807. The installer is responsible to ensure that this installation is compatible with the
remaining portion of the preexisting interior components and that the accessibility to the
emergency exits complies with FAR 23.813. The emergency exit may have items such as seat
cushions, arm rests, or other minor obstructions near it as long as the operation and access to
the exit is adequate. This may be visually inspected or functionally checked by opening the exit.
The figure below illustrates the medical system position in relationship to the exits. Typical
standard seating is shown below. The remaining approved seating may remain in the aircraft.
The interior compliance inspection for initial certification will evaluate the emergency egress, but
the installer must ensure that emergency egress is not restricted with the medical system
installed for each specific installation.

When the moveable overhead is used, it will be positioned so as to not block the access to the
exit or the handle to the exit during takeoff and landing. The overhead is placarded as follows:

"PULL UP TO MOVE OVERHEAD


DO NOT BLOCK EMERGENCY EXIT
DURING TAKE-OFF AND LANDING"

With the medical system installed the aisle width will be greater than or equal to aisle width with
the standard seats installed. The interior compliance inspection will evaluate the aisle width for
the initial certification. The installer must ensure that there are no unusual features that will
reduce the aisle width to below the minimum required by FAR 23.815.
