unpredictable operation resulting in injury to the patient or operator.
Modifying the Transfer Flat will also void its warranty.
• The Transfer Flat is not designed or recommended for use with patients with
suspected cervical, spinal, or fracture injuries.
• Improper usage of the Transfer Flat can cause injury to the patient or
operator. Operate the unit only as described in this manual.
• Do not operate the Transfer Flat without proper training.
• Do not exceed the 1600 pound weight capacity for the Transfer Flat.
• Do not use the Transfer Flat if any bodily fluids are present. Inspect the
Transfer Flat for fluids and clean prior to use.
• Inspect the Transfer Flat before and after each use for wear, fraying, or other
damage. If device is damaged, discontinue use.
• To assist with proper operation and to avoid injury, use industry approved
techniques and guidelines for lifting when using the Transfer Flat to transfer
a patient.
• To avoid injury to the patient and/or operator, operators should never attempt
to transfer or transport patient loads greater than what they can safely
lift. Evaluate the load prior to attempting the transfer or transport and use
additional assistance, if necessary.
• Always use all restraint straps to secure the patient to the cot. An unrestrained
patient may fall from the cot and be injured.
• The patient must be secured on the cot before transport.
• When transferring the patient with the Transfer Flat, ensure that there is
enough clearance underneath the Transfer Flat to avoid impact with any
obstacles.
• When transferring or transporting the patient, verify that the Transfer Flat
handles do not interfere with the cot functionality.
• When loading the cot into an ambulance, ensure that the Transfer Flat does
not interfere with the operation of the safety hook, cot fastener, or the in-
fastener shut-off system.
• The Transfer Flat is not designed for use with winch/tow straps, lifts, or hoist
mechanisms. To avoid injury or damage to the equipment, do not attach any
type of hoist mechanism to the Transfer Flat.
• The Transfer Flat is not radiolucent and it cannot be used during x-ray.
• Water, ice, and debris on the stairs can affect operator footing and proper
operation of the Transfer Flat. To reduce the risk of injury, clear the path or
consider an alternate route.
