The words WARNING and NOTE carry special meanings and should be carefully
reviewed.
WARNING
Alerts the reader about a situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious
injury. It may also describe potential serious adverse reactions and safety hazards.
Note: Provides special information to make maintenance easier or important instructions
clearer.
WARNING
• Remove Speed-Sheet from under the patient if it is activated before the cot reaches
the receiving surface.
• Do not use Speed-Sheet to transfer patients with suspected spinal injuries.
• Do not attempt to transfer patient loads greater than what the operators can safely
manage. Evaluate the load and use additional assistance if necessary.
• Do not reuse an activated Speed-Sheet; it is not stable for patient transport.
• Inspect Speed-Sheet for obvious damage (tears, abrasions, or punctures) before
placing it back on the cot mattress to make sure that it was not activated or damaged.
• Do not use a Speed-Sheet if any obvious damage is observed upon inspection.
• Failure to properly clean or dispose of a contaminated Speed-Sheet increases the risk
of exposure to bloodborne pathogens.
Note: Speed-Sheet is made with latex-free materials.

CLEANING AN UNACTIVATED SPEED-SHEET

If Speed-Sheet was not activated for a patient transfer, it can be manually cleaned (up
to 10 times) and placed back on the cot mattress for the next response. To clean, apply
one of the suggested cleaners by spray or pre-soaked wipes and allow the cleaner to dry.
Inspect the cleaned Speed-Sheet for obvious damage (tears, abrasions, or punctures)
before placing it back on the cot mattress to make sure that it was not activated or
damaged.
Suggested cleaners for Speed-Sheet include:
• Quaternary Cleaners (active ingredient - ammonium chloride)
• Phenolic Cleaners (active ingredient - o-phenylphenol)
• Chlorinated Bleach Solution (5.25% - less than 1 part bleach to 100 parts water)
Note: Use these cleaners in the concentrations recommended by their manufacturer.
Do not use Virex® TB germicidal or alcohol-based products on Speed-Sheet.
