6.4 Inspection
To guarantee optimal use of the rescue bag, all components
must be in good condition, free from dirt, residue and body
fluids. The rescue bag must be inspected before and after
every use and cleaned after every use. If not used, it must be
stored indoors in a dry place and be inspected at least once
a month.
Have the sheet inspected regularly by the maintenance staff.
Perform all the checks indicated in this page (on the right)
and note any maintenance done in the “service book” to
keep a record of all checks, also in the case of repairs.
If signs of wear or damage are found during the inspection,
remove the rescue bag from service and contact immediately
Ferno’s Technical Support Service for repairs/maintenance.
See Chapter 8
Technical Support
, page 31.
