The product must be used by trained personnel only and must
be applied to the patient by at least two operators.
Attach the device to the spine board before use using the belts
supplied (E fig. 1 page I), making sure that the side of the
spine board with Velcro® is topside. Check the position and
the correct fixing of the belts before use with the patient. Load
the patient on the spine board maintaining the correct align-
ment. Block the patient's head by placing the special anatom-
ical cushions symmetrically on each side and without applying
any pressure. Fix the two belts which restrain the head (A fig.
1 page I) by passing them over the anatomical cushions and
uniting them with the buckles on the opposite side.
Proceed and attach the belts, adjust the tension and block
them using the Velcro® system. Proceed in the same way with
both belts making sure to block the chin strap first and then the
forehead strap. Before transporting the patient it is necessary
to proceed with the application of the special restraints for the
spine board which will block the patients shoulders so as to
avoid compression of the vertebrae in the neck area.

Spencer Contour and Tango Fix head immobilisers can be
used both for adult and paediatric patients.
They have a removable cushion in the centre of the base
applied with Velcro® (fig. 7 page II). If using the head immo-
biliser with an adult patient, the cushion must be in position in
the centre between the two cushions. When in use for a pae-
diatric patient the cushion must be removed. This will also per-
mit the two anatomical cushions to be positioned closer and
the Velcro® permits fixing in the correct position.
The Tango Fix head immobiliser is characterised by the special
"U" shape of the cushions. The cushion for immobilising the
paediatric patient is situated inside the main cushion. Therefore
in a confined space you have both adult and paediatric head
immobiliser which will permit the correct immobilising for both
paediatric and adult patient (fig. 8 page II).
