Jet Aviation offers in-flight medical technology
to aircraft management customers

ZURICH, SWITZERLAND - Jet Aviation recently signed a contract with Remote Diagnostic Technologies (RDT) to offer a passenger health monitoring system aboard aircraft managed and operated by Jet Aviation. The device, called the Tempus 2000, is manufactured by RDT and is the world's first portable diagnostic machine to be used on aircraft.

The Tempus 2000 sends a patient's vital signs as well as video images via an in-built modem to a
24-hour, ground based medical team of physicians who specialize in aeronautical physiology.
The device provides a 12-lead electrocardiogram to assess heart function and measures blood pressure, pulse rate and temperature, in addition to monitoring oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the blood.
The Tempus 2000 is said to be the first remote medical monitoring device designed specifically for
non-expert use during any medical incident onboard an aircraft.

“We can now offer this medical device together with trained crews to owners and operators of aircraft.
This way, our customers can be provided with the best possible medical care at all times,” said
Jürg Reuthinger, vice president and general manager of aircraft management services for Jet Aviation's Europe, Middle and Far East locations.

The use of this technology significantly increases the quality of onboard medical provision, as TEMPUS 2000 is capable of handling almost any in-flight medical incident - such as a child with asthma, a woman with angina, or a businessman experiencing a panic attack. All the ease of use features on the device, such as integrated voice, full colour help screens and remote control by the ground-based doctors, enable confident use by the crew, even on an intermittent basis.

Jet Aviation's aircraft management services include in-house international and domestic flight planning and scheduling, flight crew staffing, line operations and maintenance services, along with insurance, accounting and administrative services. The company operates three, 24-hour international coordination centers in Zurich, Switzerland, Hong Kong and Teterboro, NJ, for all planning and reservations.
