TRANSFERRING A PATIENT WITH THE OPTIONAL PATIENT TRANSFER BOARD
WARNING
When using the transfer board to transfer a patient from one patient support platform (for example, bed, stretcher, gurney,
operating table) to another, always lock the brakes on both patient support platforms. Make sure that the transfer board
is placed securely on the surface of the patient support platforms. The patient support platforms and surfaces must be
at the same height before the patient is transferred.
