The

 BRAVA (TG-1000)

entire body of human patient.  The battery-powered electro-hydraulic lift system is intended to 
help reduce the effort required by the operator to raise and lower the stretcher. The device is 
designed  to  support  patients  in  horizontal  position  or  sitting  position  and  facilitate  the 
transportation of medical equipment in emergency transport vehicles.  

This ambulance stretcher is rated to a maximum capacity of 300Kg, and the intended operators 
of the device are trained professionals including emergency medical service and medical care 
center personnel, as well as medical first responders.  

Ambulance  stretchers  are  intended  for  transportation  purposes.  They  are  not  intended  for 
extended stay or to be used as hospital beds. They are also not intended to be used in devices 
which modify air pressure, such as hyperbaric chambers. 

 

1.3. Responsibility and warranty 

The  stretcher  must  be  checked  at  the  time  of  its  delivery  to  the  rescue  organisation.  All  its 
functions must be explained in detail. The assistance organisation must take charge of teaching 
all its employees how to use it correctly. 

The product has a 24-months warranty from the delivery date to the end user. 

The warranty does not cover defects resulting from incorrect installation, misuse, or improper 
use of the stretcher. All repairs must be made by a technical service authorised by Kartsana or 
its respective representative. 

The manufacturer will not be liable for any anomaly caused to the stretcher because of using 
products other than those provided by Kartsana.
