•
Only activate the various positions after having ensured that no-one is touching any
mechanical parts and that there are no objects under the seat or patient surface, or
between any of the moving structures.
•
The side rails are intended to minimize the risk of the patient accidentally falling. They
are not, in any way, designed to immobilize or maintain the patient.
•
Before manipulating the side rails, ensure that nothing could hinder their movement.
•
When lowering the side rail, take care not to trap the hands or feet of the patient or
staff
•
If the side rail locking operation is silent (no “click”), please revise the side rails.
•
Except during transport, always ensure that the stretcher's brake is engaged. Check
whether the brake is engaged by attempting to move the stretcher.
•
The “variable height” function should be used when handling the patient in order to work
at an ergonomic height.
•
Make sure that no one has their feet under the different pedals (variable height,
Trendelenburg, Reverse Trendelenburg).
•
It is recommended to attach the devices to the monitor support plate with the strap
provided for this purpose when positioning the stretcher in the Trendelenburg or Reverse
Trendelenburg position.
•
When using the manual emergency release, do not put the arm in the frame of the lying
surface.
•
When activating the knee gatch, to avoid any risk of pinching, do not place your arm or
hand between the lying surface and the metal structure.
•
Do not park the chair on a sloping floor.
•
Use outside of the establishment, or on unprepared ground.
•
Do not use the MD on a floor with a slope of more than 10%.
•
Use of the chair with a load that exceeds the safe working load (see technical
characteristics).
•
Always ensure that the headrest is correctly locked in position.
•
The product should be set to sitting position before changing the headrest.
•
The weight of the patient’s head rests on the headrest; it must thus be suppor
ted by the
operator during adjustment. Failure to observe this recommendation could lead to patient
injury.
•
To avoid any risk of pinching during headrest adjustment, keep your fingers away from
all articulated areas.
•
Do not place your hand between the backrest and headrest to pull the unlock handle as
you may injure your fingers.
•
Always ensure that the headrest articulation is correctly locked.
•
IV pole safe working load: 6 kg.
•
When moving the chair fitted with the IV pole, ensure that the latter does not strike any
obstacles (e.g. door frame, lighting, etc.) or individuals.
•
Do not move the chair via the IV pole
•
In the case of an unsupervised patient, the product should be left in its lowest position to
reduce the risk of falling.
•
Tell the patient not to sit on the ends (foot or head) of the chair/stretcher. An excess
weight applied to one of the ends could tip the patient surface and injure the patient.
