See paragraph 11 for how to carry out the above-mentioned checks.
Do not modify the device or its parts for any reason as this could cause damage to the patient and/or rescuers.
Failure to take the above measures will preclude safe use of the device, resulting in risk of damage to the patient, operators and the device itself.
For subsequent use, perform the operations specified in paragraph 12.
If the above conditions are met, the device may be considered ready for use; otherwise, you must immediately remove the device from service and contact the Manufacturer.
Do not alter or modify the device arbitrarily, as doing so could result in unpredictable operation and damage to the patient or rescuers and will void the warranty and
release the Manufacturer from all liability.

10. OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS

See paragraph 11 - Proper use for operating characteristics.

11. PROPER USE

Primary medical evaluations must be carried out before intervening on the patient.

11.1 LOADING THE PATIENT ONTO THE STRETCHER

Before moving the patient, appropriate medical evaluations of the patient's condition must be performed to stabilize the patient's clinical condition, verify possible surrounding
hazardous situations and identify how to move the patient from that situation. Once these priorities have been met, you may proceed to the next steps in using the device.
• Immobilize the patient using the spine board, vacuum mattress, cervical collars, extricators, head restraints, or other devices that stabilize the patient in relation to the
clinical condition in which he or she is in.
• Unbuckle the belts and remove the footrest if they are already on the stretcher
• Check the correct side to place the patient's head inside the basket and position the patient according to the procedures provided by the local emergency medical service.
If the patient's skin is in contact with the device, protect it with a bio-compatible surgical sheet to further protect his/her health.
• Once placed in the basket, proceed by fastening the belts provided. In the case of children and patients of small build, place support padding, such as pillows or blankets,
to best stabilize the patient.
• Position and adjust the footrest, where provided. See point 11.4 on how to carry out installation and adjustment operation. If the patient has lower limb injuries that do not
allow use of the footrest, use other devices approved by local emergency medical service procedure.
