Abstract: A decontamination wash down device for use in conjunction with a gurney, including a backboard and a decontamination table. The backboard has a generally rectangular shape and size to provide a patient support area. The backboard includes a plurality of spaced apart slots through its thickness to permit fluid flow off of said patient to the underside. The underside includes a plurality of ribs extending a predetermined distance to prevent movement of the backboard in the basin and raise the backboard above the surface on which it is placed. The table has a generally rectangular shape and includes a basin sized to receive the backboard. The basin includes a drain for removal of fluids. The table has a raised lip portion around the periphery of the table and a ledge portion extending inward from said lip toward the backboard to provide an enlarged patient support area.
