Ottawa, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – April 2, 2020) – In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Rampart International, one of BLU-MED‘s Canadian distributors, has supplied Southlake Regional Health Centre with two BLU-MED Negative Pressure Isolation Facilities to increase their capacity to treat more patients.
BLU-MED Negative Pressure Isolation Facilities
“The isolation facilities we have procured from Rampart will allow us to provide more care for patients,” said Stephen Trafford, manager of emergency and disaster preparedness, Southlake Regional Health Centre. “This will allow us to rapidly increase our negative pressure bed capacity not just in response to this pandemic, but any future potential health emergencies.”
Each BLU-MED Negative Pressure Isolation Facility is capable of housing up to 10 patients within an environment that meets the US Centers for Disease Control guidelines on Airborne Infectious Disease prevention protocols. The goal is to reduce the exposure of hospital staff and patients, prepare for the potential influx of infected patients, and establish patient isolation facilities that prevent the spread of the COVID-19 while effectively treating those infected.
“Rampart is proud to ensure that Canada’s frontline health care workers and first responders have the equipment they need to succeed,” said Mike Klein, president of Rampart International Corp. “Systems such as this have the potential to make a significant difference in the fight against COVID-19.”

About Shell Shock Technologies NAS3 Cases:
NAS3 9mm cases are 50 percent lighter than brass cases, offer greater lubricity and will not abrade, clog, foul, wear-out or damage breach and ejector mechanisms. The cases offer greater corrosion resistance, tensile strength (2x stronger) and elasticity than brass. NAS3 cases will not split, chip, crack or grow (stretch) and are fully reloadable (using S3 Reload dies) and can be reloaded many more times than brass cases. NAS3 cases have been tested successfully by customers to pressures over 70k psi. NAS3 cases can be picked up with a magnet. The head can be colored for branding purposes and easy load identification.
NAS3 is “Best in Class” for maintaining consistent velocity between rounds. In an independent test performed by H.P. White Laboratory (a major munitions testing facility), rounds fired using NAS3 cases achieved a velocity standard deviation of 0.093 FPS (124-grain FMJ bullet, 4.2 grains Titegroup powder, 10 rounds, extreme variation 3fps).
