With the ever increasing threat of mass fatality incidents comes the need for portable mass fatality cold storage capability. Although there is no specific number of fatalities that define a mass fatality incident, the number generally exceeds the local hospital, city, and/or county’s mortuary resource capabilities.
In response to this, Mortuary Response Solutions® has designed, engineered, and patented the MERC® System (Mortuary Enhanced Remains Cooling System) to provide portable human remains cooling. The MERC® System is the first direct contact cooling system utilizing liquid cooling technology in conjunction with an engineered cooling pad. The MERC® System is used to efficiently cool human remains and requires no refrigerated or chilled air, and the systems are completely portable and scalable. Systems are available in footprints from 4-body to 48-body capacity. The MERC® System can be used to replace a traditional mortuary cooler or can be used to supplement current human remains storage in the event of a mass fatality, as the systems can be fully operational within 20 minutes and can be set-up virtually anywhere with a power source.
