TRANSFERRING THE PATIENT TO THE COT
To transfer the patient to the cot:
1. Roll the cot to the patient.
2. Place the cot beside the patient and raise or lower the cot to the level of the patient.
3. Lower the siderails and open the restraint straps.
4. Transfer the patient to the cot using accepted EMS procedures.
5. Use all the restraint straps to secure the patient to the cot (see
).
6. Raise the siderails and adjust the backrest and foot rest as necessary.
WARNING
• Always use all restraint straps to secure the patient on the cot. An unrestrained patient may fall from the cot and
be injured.
• Never leave a patient unattended on the cot or injury could result. Hold the cot securely while a patient is on the
product.
• Never apply the optional wheel lock(s) while a patient is on the cot. Tipping could occur if the cot is moved while
the wheel lock is applied, resulting in injury to the patient or operator and/or damage to the cot.
• Siderails are not intended to serve as a patient restraint device. See
for proper restraint strap usage.
Failure to utilize the siderails properly could result in patient injury.
• Hydraulically raising or lowering the cot may temporarily affect electronic patient monitoring equipment. For best
results, patient monitoring should be conducted when the cot is idle.
ROLLING THE COT
When rolling the cot:
• Make sure that all of the restraint straps are securely buckled around the patient (see
• Place the cot in any position for rolling.
• Position an operator at the foot end and one at the head end of the cot
at all times
when rolling the cot with a
patient on it.
• Approach door sills and/or other low obstacles squarely and lift each set of wheels over the obstacle separately.
WARNING
• High obstacles such as curbing, steps or rough terrain can cause the cot to tip, possibly causing injury to the
patient or operator.
• If the cot is equipped with the optional kickstand, make sure that the kickstand remains in the retracted position
and does not engage during transport.
• Transporting the cot in lower positions reduces the potential of a cot tip. If possible, obtain additional assistance or
take an alternate route.
