COMMISSIONING

For first use, check that:
• Packaging is intact and has protected the device during transportation
• Check that all parts included in the packing list are present
• General functionality of the device
• Product cleanliness
• There are no cuts, holes, lacerations or abrasions on the entire structure, including belts and footrests where provided.
• Correct stitching and tightening of belts
See paragraph 11 on how to carry out the above-mentioned checks.
Do not modify the device or its parts for any reason as this could cause damage to the patient and/or rescuers.
Failure to take the above measures will preclude safe use of the device, resulting in risk of damage to the patient, operators and the device itself.
For subsequent use, perform the operations specified in paragraph 12.
If the above conditions are met, the device may be considered ready for use; otherwise, you must immediately remove the device from service and contact the Manufacturer.
Do not alter or modify the device arbitrarily, as doing so could result in unpredictable operation and damage to the patient or rescuers and will void the warranty and
release the Manufacturer from all liability.

10. OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS

See paragraph 11 - Proper use for operating characteristics.

11. PROPER USE

Primary medical evaluations must be carried out before intervening on the patient.
1
Applying the cervical collar: Before
applying the extrication device, it is
necessary to immobilise the cervical
section using a collar appropriate to
the patient's condition.
Follow local protocols as well as the
manufacturer's user manual for the
collar in use.
2
Positioning the extrication device
behind the patient
Check that there are no items that
could obstruct the application of the
device (belt, wallet, etc.).
Open the device completely, turn the
buckles towards the seat and tilt it
45° to insert it between the patient's
back and the seat, aligning it with the
patient's spine.

Release the groin straps from the back by letting them drop to
the sides and wrap the thoracic flaps around the patient's torso,
passing them under the arms. Adjust the position of the device
by lifting it so that the chest flaps become a support for the ar-
mpits. During the application, operators should avoid moving the
patient's head to avoid aggravating any injury.
Check that the device has been correctly positioned, i.e. as close
as possible to the patient's back and well aligned with the spine.
4
Fasten the chest belts in the following sequence. Generally
accepted as correct:
1 – Intermediary (Yellow)
2 – Lower (Red)
3 – Upper (Green)
This sequence may not be indicated in all rescue situations. Fol-
low the instructions of your local health authority.
When applying it to pregnant patients, some of the thoracic flaps
have to be folded to leave the abdomen uncovered.
A possible closure configuration, which may vary depending on
the size of the abdomen and breasts, is as follows:
- Intermediary belt in the respective buckle
- Lower belt in upper buckle
- Upper belt in the lower buckle
5
Close the groin straps by sliding them under the patient's legs using any free space left by
the seat.
Check that the belts are straight in relation to the anchorage point and as close as possible to the
symmetry axis of the device.
Hook the belts into their buckles and tighten them until they come into contact with the patient.
A further tightening must be carried out before extrication.
The use of crotch belts requires particular care in the case of femur or pelvis fractures. The device
handles can help obtain better vertical positioning and alignment of the device.
