1.4 Precautions
Throughout this manual, there are 3 types of symbols. As a warning symbol, we have ISO
7010-W001. The prohibition is indicated by ISO 7010-P001 and the obligation by ISO
7010-M001.
We use these signs to provide information on important safety measures for the correct use
of the rail and to avoid possible accidents.
Warnings alert the reader to situations that, if not avoided, may lead to death or serious
injury. Furthermore, prohibitions indicate actions that must not be carried out under any
circumstance, and obligations indicate measures and/or actions that must be taken to
ensure the proper use of the product and to maintain safe functionality.
1.5 Summary of safety precautions
Read and follow the warnings and cautions on these pages carefully. Maintenance and
repairs may only be carried out by qualified personnel.
PRECAUTIONS
- Improper use of the rail may cause injury to the patient or the
handler. Use the rail only as described in this manual.
- Do not modify the rail or any of its components. Modification
of the device may result in an unpredictable operation that
could cause injury to the patient or operator. Modification of
the device voids the warranty.
- This rail must work with a compatible stretcher.
- The fastening system to the emergency vehicle compatible
with our rail must be correctly installed for correct fastening of
the stretcher. Otherwise injury to patient, operator or vehicle
could occur.
- Request the correct installation of the fixing rail to the
vehicle floor. The position of this rail will determine the correct
functioning of the stretcher. After installation, practice changing
the rail stretcher entry and exit positions until you are familiar
with the product. Improper use can lead to injury.
- Do not allow untrained assistants to help you operate the rail.
Inadequately trained technicians and assistants can cause
injury to the patient and to themselves.
- Do not climb on the base of the rail as this may damage the
product, unbalance the patient and/or cause injury.
- Incorrect fastening of the stretcher may result in injury. Avoid
placing hands, fingers or feet on the moving parts of both
the rail and the stretcher. To avoid injury, when raising and
lowering the stretcher, be very careful when placing hands and
feet near the moving parts (inlet tray).

Instruction manual
SILVER+ R-1200
- The SILVER+ rail is designed to be compatible with the
Kartsana SILVER+ stretcher.
- When cleaning, use appropriate personal protective
equipment (protective goggles or respirators) to avoid the
risk of inhaling infectious organisms.
- Some cleaning products are corrosive and can damage the
product if used incorrectly. If the products described above
are used to clean Kartsana equipment, measures must be
taken to ensure that the rails are cleaned with clean water
and thoroughly dried after cleaning. Failure to properly rinse
and dry the units may leave a corrosive residue on the surface
of the units, which may cause premature corrosion of critical
components.
