8 - LOADING AND UNLOADING THE COT
8.1 Fastener Compatibility
The cot is compatible with all removable and
permanently-mounted versions of the Ferno
®
Model
175 antler and rail fasteners (Figure 34). Configure
the fastener for use with the 35-P PROFlexx
®
Series
transporters (See the Model 175 installation manual
for details).
8.2 Guidelines and Preparation
GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR USE
Using the cot with a Model 175 fastener requires the
installation of the safety hook. Also, cot fasteners with
removable antlers may need to be updated. The safety
hook and parts to update a fastener are supplied with
the cot (See
Setup and Installation,
pages 11-13).
Using the cot with a patient requires a minimum of
two trained operators
working together
. Use additional
help as needed when working with heavy patients (See
Using Additional Help,
page 28).
Important
Loose items and debris on the patient
compartment floor can interfere with safety bar
and safety hook operation. Keep the patient
compartment floor clear.
