On their website, the EpiShuttle is described as a machine that isolates a patient without running the risk of infecting medical staff during treatment by air. 

"It allows medical staff to treat patients with virtually zero possibility of transmission of infection in either direction, all while being transported in an aircraft," RCAF further explained on the government website.  

The air force also said that this product is just one of the many pieces of transportation equipment they will be investing in for the future.
