Instructions
The Samarit „Rollbord" is highly efficient, requiring only 15% of the patient's body weight
to either push or pull the patient from one lateral surface to the other. One staff member
can easily move an average sized patient with minimal effort.
CAUTION: Do not become over-confident and attempt to move patients above your
capacity. With large or touch-sensitive patients, request assistance and use the Two Person
Pull method. Always use your proper body position for any patient transfer.
Picture 1. The „Rollbord" weighs only 6 lbs.
(3 kg) and can be carried on the shoulder with
the convenient adjustable strap leaving both
hands free for stretcher operation.
Picture 2. For easier transfer, ensure that sur-
faces are leveled or that the receiving surface is
slightly lower. Place the „Rollbord" and position
next to patient.
Picture 3. Always ensure that brakes are opera-
tional and are locked on both vehicles.
Picture 4. Roll the patient towards you and
move the „Rollbord" to his back. For tall
patients, either place a pillow under shoulder/
head and under patient's lower legs to elevate
heels.
Picture 5. Ease patient back onto „Rollbord" so
that about 1/3 of patient is on the „Rollbord".
For wider surfaces, place less of the patient onto
the „Rollbord"; narrower surfaces more.
CLEANING: The „Rollbord" can be cleaned best with "Sani-Cloth
hospital disinfectant (no chlorine, no concentrate, no bleach). For anticipated soiled conditions use
the „Rollbord" disposable cover. It covers ends of „Rollbord" and allows any residue to be folded
untouched into the cover, leaving a clean surface. For replacement of the silver cover, simply unscrew
one cap-end and exchange cover. Repairs should only be carried out by authorised personnel.

„One Person Push Method"
Picture 6.1 Place hands under patient's hip and
shoulder. Pushing there positions the centre of
patient's weight onto the „Rollbord".

„Two Person Pull Method"
Picture 6.2 Place pull sheet using well-known
method under the patient and raise both ends.
The patient is then carefully pulled by two per-
sons over the „Rollbord" (preferable method for
heavy patients).
Picture 7. Once centered, roll patient towards
you and slide „Rollbord" from under the patient
with one hand. Pull away side under patient's
leg first. Remove „Rollbord" and disinfect, if
necessary.
Caution: Do not pull „Rollbord" by
the handles!
