PROPER USE

Operators performing immobilisation must be able to select the most suitable type of splint and the most appropriate splint size.
Before and after the application of the splint, it is necessary to check the circulation of the limb to be immobilised.
Applying rigid splints (Blue Splint , Fixo Splint, Urrà)
• Select the most suitable size according to the characteristics of the limb to be immobilised.
• Shape the splint to give it the most suitable shape (only Blue Splint).
• Apply the splint gently to the limb.
• Close the strap bands, ensuring that the tissues of the fractured limb are not disturbed. Urrà must be closed with gauze bandages.
Application of inflatable splints (Air splint)
• Select the most suitable size according to the characteristics of the limb to be immobilised.
• Unzip the splint
• Gently raise the limb and slide the open splint under the limb.
IT
• Zip up the splint and inflate it with the valve nozzle, ensuring that the compression generated by the splint does not harm the tissue. Preferably use the QMX109 pump for
inflation.
• Close the valve opening
• Check pulse and paleness, movement and sensitivity below the area of application as compression may cause reduced tissue circulation.
Application of vacuum splints (Res-Q-Splint, Res-Q-Splint Plus, EMSoft)
EN
• Select the most suitable size according to the characteristics of the limb to be immobilised.
• Lay the splint on the ground and distribute the filling material evenly.
• Gently raise the limb and slide the open splint under the limb.
• Gently wrap the splint around the limb and close the strap bands
• Connect the suction pump to the valve, and begin depressurising while keeping the device adherent to the limb. With EMSoft, use the conical fitting supplied with the splint
DE
to connect the splint to the pump. Once the required rigidity has been achieved, close the valve and adjust the length of the closing straps if necessary.
After use, return the device to atmospheric pressure by opening the valve.
With EMSoft, close the protective cap
Res-Q-Splint and EMSoft splints are compatible with QMX109, QMX120, QMX125,QMX130 pumps.
FR
EMSoft, requires the use of the conical fitting supplied with the splint.

10.1 CLEANING

ES
Failure to carry out the correct cleaning operations could increase the risk of cross-infection due to presence of body fluids and/or residues.
The operator must wear suitable personal protective equipment, such as gloves, goggles, etc. during all checking and cleaning operations.
Clean the exposed parts with water and delicate soap. Never use solvents or stain removers.
Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water, making sure you have removed all traces of detergent, which may deteriorate or compromise conditions and durability. The use of
high-pressure water should be avoided.
PT
