Patient alignment and securing for transport
The platform is not intended to carry or transport a patient. To carry or transport the patient, secure the
platform to a transportation device such as the Quick Case carry sheet, gurney, or backboard. During
transport, regularly check the patient’s alignment.
The patient can be secured to a transportation device and carried while the platform is performing active
compressions.
The platform does not require any patient restraints to perform compressions while the patient is lying on a
flat surface. However, patient restraints should be used to maintain alignment of the patient to the platform:
• If the platform cannot be set on a flat level surface
• If the platform is used during extrication or during transport
The platform is designed to be used with the accompanying accessories for securing the patient and maintain -
ing patient alignment.
Caution. Motion can cause the patient to shift and restraints to loosen, so make sure the alignment is correct
when strapping the patient to the platform. During active compressions, regularly check patient alignment to
the platform and band alignment to the patient's mid-axillary line.
When transporting the patient without the Quick Case carry sheet, secure the patient and the platform to a
transportation device using locally-approved procedures for safe transport.
Caution. Do not use the platform alone to transport the patient.
Caution. Straps or restraints must not alter the alignment of the patient to the platform or interfere with
operation of the platform. Ensure that compression and full decompression of the chest is not restricted
in any way.
