•
The front pull-out handles can preferably be pulled out or closed.
•
The siderails of the stretcher must be raised.
•
The trolley parking brakes (normal and intermediate position) must be engaged or other operators must ensure that the trolley is
stationary.
•
Check that the trolley bed is free of any foreign objects (hands, sheets, accessories).
•
Lift the stretcher and place it on the trolley without altering the previously defined alignment.
•
Check again that no operators have inadvertently placed their hands anywhere on the frame between the stretcher and the trolley, as
there is a
hazard of crushing fingers .
•
Once you have checked that the stretcher is correctly centred on the trolley and that the wheel supports are resting on the trolley slide
profile, you can push the stretcher forward until the locking mechanism engages.
•
Make sure that no fabric or accessories have interfered with insertion of the locking mechanism between the stretcher and the trolley.
•
Close the pull-out handles before moving the trolley and stretcher assembly.
11.19 Restraint straps
To apply the two-piece restraint straps, identify a portion of the frame at chest height and one at the patient's leg level. The restraint straps
should be applied in a position that allows for adequate immobilization of the patient.
Secure to the frame by means of a slipknot
– Image P51
The restraint straps supplied with the stretcher must be fastened immediately after positioning the patient.
To do this, insert the male buckle into the female buckle
– Image P52
When using the chest strap, the male buckle must be passed through the appropriate slots in the metal ends of the chest straps – Image P53 .
Tension the straps after attaching them – Images P54 and P55
When the patient is to be moved from the stretcher at the end of use, release the straps by pressing the release button marked "PRESS" –
Images P56 and P57. Then open the stretcher siderail on the side towards which you want to lower the patient from the stretcher.
DNA STRAP:
DNA straps are suitable for use with stretchers equipped with a patient bed with special housing.
Follow the instructions below to apply them, if they have not already been installed at the factory
– Images P58, P59, P60, P61 :
1 – Remove the strap from the seat present on the re-winding system.
2 – Insert the DNA system, keeping the belt taut, into the special cavity on the body of the bed. The male and female straps must be on the
left and right of the platform, respectively.
3
– Put the belts back into the hole on the DNA re-winding system and complete the installation.
4 – Proceed in the same way for thorax systems.
After positioning the patient, fasten the straps and check that they are correctly applied.
DNA straps are not equipped with a pre-tensioner. It is therefore necessary to manually adjust them after fastening them, tensioning the
straps and bringing the re-winding system to the end of the stroke.
Incorrect adjustment makes the device unsafe and ineffective.
