Using the iN∫X
5.6 Transferring the Patient:
Chair Position
The chair position allows a patient to be transferred to a
seated position on the iN∫X patient surface. Follow local
protocols to determine the best situations to use chair
position. To place the iN∫X in chair position:
1. Roll the iN∫X toward the control-end to position all
four swivel wheels in the same orientation.
2. Raise the shock frame.
3. Press the chair-position button (Figure 34).
Note:
When the chair-position button is pressed, a 15-second
timer begins. To cancel, press the chair-position button again
or allow the timer to expire.

the iN∫X as the legs adjust to place the iN∫X in the chair
5. Lock the wheel locks.
6. Unbuckle the restraints. If needed, rotate one or both
sidearms out of the way.
7. Adjust the backrest to suit the patient.
8. If needed, have one operator or assistant steady the
iN∫X so it will not move as the patient is seated.
9. Assist the patient onto the iN∫X following approved
emergency-medical procedures and local protocols.
10. Fasten and adjust the patient restraints.
11. Before moving the iN∫X or changing its position, make
sure sheets and other articles will not interfere with
iN∫X operation.
12. Inform the patient before adjusting the iN∫X height.
13. Verify the display is not showing the chair position
screen: the regular operating screen should appear
after the timer expires.

See “Powered Extending/Retracting” on page 33.

frame, and/or sidearms as needed for patient comfort
or medical care.
