Pinch Point
Watch for pinch points on the Shuttle, which are indicated by the pinch point label.
HAZARD:
Pay close attention to pinch points on the Shuttle to avoid injury to
the patient and/or care provider.
Pinch points have minimal clearances between two moving parts that fail
to maintain a clearance of ≤ 8mm or ≥ 25mm.
Pinch points are present between the side panel and frame on both sides.
Transport
WARNING:
During transport, use caution so the Shuttle does not tip or
overbalance. Failure to do so could result in patient and/or user injury as well as
damage to equipment or other property.
CAUTION:
The Shuttle needs to be stored, transported and operated in a
temperature range of -5°C to 45°C (23°F to 113°F).
DO NOT expose the Shuttle to humidity greater than 95%.
It is not recommended to transport a patient when the Shuttle is in Seat Assist position,
Trendelenburg or Reverse Trendelenburg positions.
Generally, as the load increases, the risk of instability goes up.
Use and position of accessories may affect stability. DO NOT overextend IV poles or similar
accessories and DO NOT overload accessories. If multiple accessories are in use, distribute
them evenly from side to side or head to foot.
For inclines or thresholds, approach them moving forward or backwards, rather than sideways.
To help prevent overbalance or collision with hidden objects or people, DO NOT make sharp
turns or turn the Shuttle at high speeds.
The Shuttle complies with the 60601 Threshold Test (21.6.102) and will go over a rectangular
cross-section 20 mm high and 80 mm deep.
