4 – RESCUE BAG CONFIGURATION
4.1 Length Adjustment
The Saerbag III has an internal length adjustment system
(Figure 1). This system allows the rescue bag to be adapted
to the patient immobilization device placed inside. It has two
straps on both sides of the rescue bag that can be adjusted
by the operator.
Adjust the rescue bag to the length of the immobilization
device inside when preparing it for use and before any
rescue operation.

ADJUSTING THE LENGTH
To adjust the rescue bag length:
1. Place the immobilization device in the rescue bag. First insert the head area (Figure 2) then the foot area (Figure 3) of the
SCOOPEXL stretcher/backboard.
2. After having placed the immobilization device in the rescue bag correctly, pull the inner straps (on the right and left) towards
the head side of the rescue bag to adjust the length of the rescue bag to the SCOOPEXL stretcher/backboard (Figure 4, 5).
3. Ensure that the rescue bag is correctly adjusted to the length of the device used.
