Proper Lifting Techniques - Stryker Stair-PRO 6250 Manual De Uso

English
USING RESTRAINT STRAPS - CONTINUED
• To lengthen the restraint, grasp the buckle, turn it at an angle to the webbing and pull it out. A hemmed tab at the
end of the webbing prevents the buckle from coming off the strap. To shorten the restraint, grasp the hemmed tab
and pull the webbing back through the buckle until the required tightness is achieved.
• When the chair is put into service, open the restraints and place them at either side of the chair until the patient
is positioned on the seat. Lengthen the restraint, buckle it around the patient and shorten it until the required
tightness to properly secure the patient is achieved.
• To open the restraint, press the tabs on the side of the buckle to release the buckle and pull the tang out of the
receiver. To close the restraint, push the tang into the receiver until a "click" is heard.
• Whenever a restraint is buckled on a patient, the attendant should verify the tang is locked and the extra webbing
is not tangled in the chair or hanging loose.
• Inspection of the restraints should be done at least once a month (more frequently if used heavily). Inspection
should include checking for a bent or broken receiver or tang, torn or frayed webbing, etc. Any restraint showing
wear or not operating properly must be replaced immediately.
