USING THE SAFR
t
PATIENT TRANSFER BOARD
WARNING
When using the SAFR
t
Board to transfer a patient, always lock the brakes on all stretchers, beds, etc. being
used and always be certain the transfer board is placed securely on the surface of the mating stretcher or
bed. The patient stretcher and the mating surface must be at the same height before the patient is transferred.
Failure to confirm the brakes are locked and the transfer board is securely placed could result in patient injury.
The SAFR
t
patient transfer board stores flat under the litter. To use it, pull it straight out and pivot it up into
place. Using a sheet, draw the patient onto the mating bed or stretcher.
The siderail can be raised and lowered with the SAFR
t
Board in the up position but the board must be pivoted
up so it is perpendicular to the litter.
