Pedi-Mate BRH-678-MS User Manual
3.1 Pedi-Mate Description
The Multi-Stretcher Pedi-Mate is designed to secure
infants and toddlers from 4.5 kg to 18 kg. It can be
securely attached to a wide range of cots without the
need to attach to specific mount points.
The Pedi-Mate is for professional use by one or more
trained operators. It is designed for use only in an
emergency setting and only by suitable trained
personnel. Where child restraint is needed outside of
this setting, the transport vehicle should be fitted with
restraints in accordance with applicable local standards
and regulations.
The Pedi-Mate is not designed as an immobilisation
device and should not be used to immobilise the
patient or as part of an immobilisation system.
The Pedi-Mate has been dynamically crash tested with
an 18 kg crash dummy to guidelines of the Australian/
New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 4535:1999 Ambulance
Restraint Systems.
