BIOCOMPATIBILITY
The sterile drape placed between the CTS and the patient's body is necessary to prevent
irritation and skin reactivity due to direct patient contact with synthetic fabrics. In addition,
it establishes a thermal barrier and limits the release of organic substances.
Always check the condition of the patient during all restraint operations and
during transport to the hospital or nearby rescue centre. The photo opposite
illustrates the correct use of the device when mounted on a transport
stretcher equipped with a vacuum mattress.

REUSE OF CTS BOSCAROL
The medical device must be cleaned and disinfected after each use. This is particularly important if the patient's
pathological condition is unknown and direct contamination may be present. The user must always adopt protective
measures and means to protect his or her own safety.
The CTS can be washed with water which must not exceed a temperature of 40° C. Never use abrasive metal brushes or
very hard brushes, which could damage the fabric. If using a washing machine, avoid spinning.
Pressure
washers
Do not use high-pressure cleaning machines as they may damage the surface layers of the CTS and
damage the Velcro and polyethylene webbing.
Attention
Do not cut or modify the structure and shape of Boscarol CTS to avoid irreparable damage.
Washing
machines
Do not spin the device if machine washed. Do not exceed 40° C water temperature.
Aggressive detergents may alter the colours of the device and damage it.
Safely remove the drape between the CTS and the patient's body.
Check the condition of the straps, clean the buckles thoroughly. Soak the device in lukewarm water not exceeding 40°
C with a mild detergent. Clean and remove all substances. If necessary, use a non-abrasive sponge to remove any
deposits. Remove any traces of blood and/or organic matter left by the patient before disinfecting. Disinfect the CTS
(entire surface) with products suitable for this purpose (test on one side of the device to ensure no damage). Do not
use bleach and iron brushes, steel wool or blades of any kind to remove scale. Coloured disinfectants may permanently
stain the surfaces of the device itself. Before storing the device make sure it is completely dry to prevent mould from
forming.
Disinfection
Always comply with local and regional regulations regarding validation of disinfection operations
