N36 AVIO Achieves EASA STC Certification for Installation on Leonardo AW139
INMM is pleased to announce a significant milestone for its Aeromedical product line: the installation of the N36 AVIO biocontainment system has received EASA certification through Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) No. 10090346, issued on 8 July 2026.
The certification covers the installation of the IsoArk N36 biocontainment system on Leonardo AW139 helicopters equipped with approved Aerolite EMS stretcher systems and includes aircraft integration, structural verification of the installation, and compliance with the applicable safety and continued airworthiness requirements.
N36 AVIO is the aeromedical configuration of the N36 isolation system, specifically developed for the protected transport of infectious patients during HEMS, MEDEVAC and CASEVAC missions, as well as for CBRN operations, public health emergencies, humanitarian missions, and military and governmental medical support.
The system operates under negative pressure, providing an isolated environment for the patient while helping protect flight crews and medical personnel. The AVIO configuration incorporates dedicated solutions for patient restraint, structural attachment to the stretcher, and secure retention of the filtration units, with materials and components selected to meet applicable aviation requirements.
The achievement of the EASA STC for the AW139 represents an important milestone in the development of INMM’s Aeromedical product line and provides a solid technical and certification baseline for evaluating future integration of the N36 AVIO system on additional rotary-wing and fixed-wing platforms.
