Crash Cart - ToronCAB™ 1400
ToronCAB™ 1400 is a crash cart trolley built to bring resuscitation capability to the bedside during a code. Five color-coded drawers organize emergency drugs by category, a top shelf carries the defibrillator, and a CPR board and oxygen cylinder holder keep resuscitation equipment with the cart. A file cassette holds code records or patient charts, so documentation stays with the response, and an IV pole and power strip support monitoring. Four braking swivel casters move the cart fast and lock it in place.
Hospital teams use the Torontech ToronCAB™ 1400 during cardiac arrests and other emergencies, where drugs and equipment must be ready. The larger L850 mm body adds drawer and work space, so the cart carries a fuller inventory and gives staff more room to act. The file cassette keeps the code record or chart with the cart, so the team documents the response at the bedside. A needle disposal container and two waste bins handle sharps and waste safely at the point of use.
For North American facilities, the central lock supports controlled-access drug storage and the readiness checks that emergency carts require between codes. The wider footprint suits departments that want more emergency capacity in a single cart and still need it mobile through corridors and doorways. Designed for emergency use, the ToronCAB™ 1400 brings resuscitation drugs, a defibrillator shelf, oxygen, a CPR board, documentation, and power together on one platform, so the code team works from a single, well-equipped station.
Crash Cart - ToronCAB™ 1400 Applications
The ToronCAB™ 1400 supports emergency and resuscitation response across departments that run codes and want extra capacity and documentation on the cart. Its defibrillator shelf, color-coded drugs, oxygen, CPR board, and file cassette fit a range of acute settings.
- Emergency Departments: stands ready for cardiac arrests and trauma resuscitations, with a fuller drug inventory and a defibrillator organized for immediate use.
- Intensive Care Units: keeps resuscitation drugs, oxygen, and a defibrillator within reach for unstable patients, with room to document the response.
- Hospital Inpatient Wards: serves as a mobile code cart that staff bring to the bedside the moment a patient deteriorates.
- Operating Rooms and Recovery: supports response to intraoperative and post-anesthesia emergencies alongside the surgical team.
- Catheterization and Procedure Labs: stays on standby for cardiac and interventional procedures where complications demand fast, well-stocked response.
- Step-Down and Telemetry Units: keeps emergency equipment and code records ready for monitored patients at elevated risk.
- Maternity and Labor Wards: keeps emergency drugs and equipment ready for obstetric and neonatal resuscitation.
Crash Cart - ToronCAB™ 1400 Key Features
The ToronCAB™ 1400 combines full resuscitation equipment, organized emergency drugs, and on-cart documentation in a larger hospital crash cart for code response.
- Defibrillator Shelf: a top shelf holds the defibrillator at a usable height, ready to deploy the instant the cart reaches the patient.
- CPR Board: a backboard stores on the cart and lifts out to place under the patient for effective chest compressions.
- Oxygen Cylinder Holder: a holder carries an oxygen tank with the cart for immediate ventilation support.
- Five Color-Coded Drawers: color-coded drawers assign drug and supply categories to fixed positions, so staff reach the right group by sight during a code.
- File Cassette: a holder keeps the code record or patient chart with the cart, so documentation travels with the response.
- Central Lock: a single lock secures all drawers between emergencies, keeping drugs protected and the cart ready for readiness checks.
- Integrated IV Pole: an on-board pole holds fluids or infusions above the work area during the response.
- Built-In Power Strip: on-board power runs the defibrillator or a monitor without depending on wall outlets.
- Sliding Work Surface: a pull-out table gives room for drawing up drugs and charting during a code.
- Needle Disposal and Dual Waste Bins: an on-board sharps container and two waste bins handle sharps and waste safely at the point of use.
- Wider, Higher-Capacity Build: the larger L850 mm body adds drawer and work space while staying mobile through corridors and doorways.
- Four Individual-Brake Casters: each swivel caster locks on its own for a stable base at the bedside and fast movement between rooms.
Theory and Method
A crash cart works only if the team can find each item instantly, so the ToronCAB™ 1400 organizes emergency supplies for fast, predictable access. Five color-coded drawers assign drug and supply categories to fixed positions, so staff open the right drawer by color instead of reading labels during a code. A central lock secures all drawers between emergencies, keeping medications protected and the cart ready for its next readiness check. Grouping supplies this way removes hesitation when seconds count.
Beyond drugs, the cart carries the equipment and records a resuscitation needs. A defibrillator shelf on top holds the defibrillator at a usable height, ready to deploy when staff reach the patient. A CPR board lifts out to place under the patient for firm chest compressions, and an oxygen cylinder holder carries a tank for ventilation. A file cassette keeps the code record and patient chart with the cart, and a power strip runs the defibrillator or monitor without searching for an outlet.
Moving fast matters as much as organization, so the cart rides on four swivel casters, each with its own brake. Staff push it at pace through corridors, then lock all four wheels for a stable base at the bedside. The sliding work surface extends to give room for drawing up drugs and charting during the response, then retracts to keep the cart manageable. An IV pole holds fluids or infusions above the work area, completing the cart as a self-contained response station.
