1 - SAFETY INFORMATION
1.1 Warning
Warning safety alerts indicate a potentially hazardous situation that, if
not avoided, could result in injury or death.
1.3 Bloodborne Disease Notice
To reduce the risk of exposure to blood or other potentially infectious
materials when using the transporter, follow the disinfecting and
cleaning instructions in this manual.
1.4 Fastening System Compatibility
Combining different manufacturers’ products such as a Ferno cot/
transport system with a non-Ferno fastening system can increase the
user’s risk of injury and damage.
Ferno-Washington, Inc. products are designed for use only with Ferno-
manufactured fastening systems. Use of a Ferno transport system with
a non-Ferno fastening system is misuse of the Ferno product. The user
assumes responsibility for the outcome of known, intentional misuse.
