USING A NON-UPGRADED X-FRAME COT FOR A MASS CASUALTY INCIDENT
Some non-compatible cots, including most X-frame cots, may be used in a mass casualty incident. The loading
and unloading operations are similar to the instructions for manual loading and unloading of a cot (see
page 61
),
however, a rail clamp assembly is used instead of a foot end cot lock. When loading a non-compatible cot, lock the
cot retaining post into the rail clamp assembly.
The mass casualty option contains a rail assembly for wall or floor mount. You should store this rail assembly in a
cabinet in case of emergency for quick attachment in the vehicle patient compartment.
WARNING
Ǩɣ
To prevent the cot frame from coming out of the rail jaws, the space between the rail clamp and the rail stationary
jaw must never exceed 1 in (2.5 cm). To prevent the cot from coming out of the rail jaws and causing possible
injury to the patient or user, the rail clamp must not overlap the red adjustment limit label on the rail tube.
Ǩɣ
The rail clamp fastener closes with a strong spring action. To avoid injury, do not use hand or fingers to press the
manual trolley release button when the rail jaws are open.
EXTENDING POWER-LOAD FROM THE VEHICLE WITHOUT A COT
To extend Power-LOAD from the vehicle patient compartment without a cot:
1. Walk to the head end of the Power-LOAD system.
2. While raising the lifting arms, press the manual trolley release button at the head end of the Power-LOAD system
as shown in Figure 33.
3. Pull the trolley out of the vehicle patient compartment as shown in Figure 34.
