3 - ABOUT THE TRANSPORTER
3.1 Description
The Models ST64 and ST70 Mondial
®
Series Transporters are emergency
patient-handling devices designed to transport a patient in a ground-
based ambulance. In this manual, the term “transporter” is used when
features are identical for both models. The specific transporter name is
used when features differ.
The transporter is for professional use by a minimum of two trained
operators. It is designed for roll-in loading to help reduce the risk of
back injury to medical service personnel.
The transporter is part of a three-component patient-handling system
when matched with a compatible Ferno
®
stretcher and fastening system
(not included).
