10. PROPER USE

Primary medical evaluations must be carried out before the patient is moved, lifted or transported. Once the diagnosis has been made, it is preferable to advise the patient
to actively contribute to the transition from bed to stretcher/chair, while at the same time informing them of the risks they may be running. Before loading the patient,
bring the device as close as possible to the patient.

10.1 EMERGENCY VEHICLE REQUIREMENTS

The stretcher is designed to enter and exit the medical compartment of an ambulance. The vehicle requirements should be:
• Level stretcher floor
• Stretcher floor that is wide and long enough to accommodate the stretcher without becoming an obstacle
The wheels of the front legs must be at a safe distance of at least 5 cm from the ground during loading/unloading or when the loading trolley is still on the vehicle, to allow
the front leg to open safely.
Failure to take the above measure will preclude safe use of the device, resulting in risk of damage to the patient, operators and the device itself.

10.2 PARKING BRAKES

10.3 LOADING AND UNLOADING THE STRETCHER FROM THE MEDICAL VEHICLE
Stretcher loading and unloading are among the most delicate steps during the use of stretchers. It is necessary to follow all the warnings in these instructions for use very
carefully, practising under simulated conditions before putting the product into service. The patient must always be properly immobilized inside the incubator.
Always ensure that the conditions of use allow the front legs to open properly before any loading and/or unloading operations.
To load the stretcher onto the vehicle:
• The operator performing the loading should align with the stretcher and the fixing system so that both devices are in front of him/her and in the intended alignment for
fixing.
• Move the wheels of the loading trolley forward into the vehicle until the front legs of the stretcher come into contact with the bodywork of the vehicle.
• In the event of a slide/ramp, the wheel of the loading trolley should be in a horizontal position before the front legs come into contact with the vehicle bodywork.
• Ensure that the wheels of the front legs are least 5cm from the ground. Failure to do so may result in serious damage and/or injury when unloading the stretcher from the
vehicle.
IT
• Engage the right red lever to unlock movement of the front legs while continuing to push the stretcher inside the vehicle until the rear legs are brought to a stop.
• Only after making sure that the rear legs are in contact with the bumper of the vehicle, engage the green lever to release the rear legs, continuing to push towards the inside
of the vehicle compartment.

During these operations, a part of the weight of the assembly will rest on the operator, who must therefore be able to support and accompany all device movements.
• Lock the stretcher on the medical vehicle using the Spencer fixing system installed on the vehicle.
Warning: DURING NORMAL STRETCHER MOVEMENTS, NEVER ENGAGE THE LEG LOCKING LEVERS, AS DOING SO COULD CAUSE THE STRETCHER TO FALL TO THE
GROUND. THESE LEVERS MUST ONLY BE ENGAGED TO LOAD THE STRETCHER ON THE AMBULANCE OR TO REACH THE INTERMEDIATE HEIGHT AS DESCRIBED ABOVE.
DE
To unload the stretcher from the medical vehicle:
• If the stretcher is used with the Sensor Lock fixing system, release the stretcher by engaging the rear leg unlocking lever on the stretcher.
• tcher is used with the S-MAX or R-Max fixing system, the release must be made manually by pushing the unlocking lever on the fixing system. .
Pull the stretcher towards the outside of the vehicle, gripping the rear part of the frame. Support the weight of the stretcher until you feel the rear leg locking system

engage. As with the loading phase, the operator must be able to support the weight of the device and the accessories applied.
• Do not grab the table or any other area not intended for handling as this may cause damage to the operator, the patient or the device.
• Pull the stretcher outwards until the front legs are fully open. Do not lower the loading trolley from the loading surface until you have checked that the front leg locking
system is properly engaged.
• Finish extracting the stretcher from the vehicle.

Lowering the stretcher to the ground

To engage the parking brakes, simply press on the strips on the rear wheel brackets with your foot. To disengage the parking brakes, simply
press down on the opposite side of the parking brake pedal and they will return to their original position with a slight click.
Never leave the patient unattended, even if the parking brakes have been engaged. .
This procedure allows the stretcher to reach the minimum distance from the ground.
This manoeuvre cannot be carried out when a patient is on the device.
• Raise the stretcher from the side of the levers until the loading trolley wheels rest on the ground.
• With the loading trolley wheels resting on the ground and ready to bear the weight of the stretcher, engage both leg unlocking levers,
push towards the stretcher to unlock the front leg moving system and then the stretcher towards the ground. The stretcher is now
in the lowest position.
Note: The parking brakes will not perform their function when the stretcher is fully lowered. Make sure that the stretcher is held in place
by ate least one operator.
