Injuries
Treatment of sprains, dislocations and fractures
Block the joint in the current position after the injury using splinting and bandages. Allow the injured person to stay in an antalgic
position and avoid hazardous manoeuvres. Apply cold therapy (ice bag or other systems).
If the fracture is exposed, cover the wound with a sterile gauze after compressing the haemorrhage keeping at a distance from the
fractured points.
Bruises, crushing
In the event of bruises and/or crushing of the upper and lower limbs (fingers, hand, feet, etc.) the limb must be placed immediately
under (cold) running water and an ice bag must be applied on it, also checking whether there are wounds and/or cuts, in which
case the involved area must be disinfected.
3.9.4
Haemorrhage
The bleeding point must be compressed directly with a swab of sterile gauzes: the limb must be raised and an emergency
tourniquet must be applied for compression of the area immediately above the haemorrhage.
Treatment of shallow wounds
Expose the wound and wash it thoroughly; disinfect it with saline and then cover it with sterile gauzes. Finally, apply a bandage
without tightening it excessively in order to allow for proper blood flow.
Treatment of deep wounds
Protection against the risk of contagion is essential: wear gloves and a face protector. Dab at the bleeding point exerting a
compression on the haemorrhage directly or on other compression points until bleeding stops or the ambulance arrives. Call the
Emergency Service number (specific for each country) and inform the person on the other side of the phone that you are stopping
an arterial haemorrhage.
The wound can be treated only after the haemorrhage is under control.
DO NOT use cotton wool, denaturated alcohol and antibiotic powder to disinfect the wound.
Always wear latex gloves to prevent direct contact with body fluids during the rescue intervention.

The Hawk pumps examined in these instructions have been designed and manufactured for incorporation in a machine intended
for the high pressure pumping of the listed fluids (e.g. high pressure jet washing machine). They have to be operated in compliance
with their specifications (sect. 2.1.1), without being subjected to non-agreed changes, and/or they must not be misused.
The pump must be operated EXCLUSIVELY after installation by trained and qualified personnel who are
