5.4 Immobilization of the patient
The immobilization procedure should be performed by at least two trained and qualified operators. For the immobilization of
the patient, proceed as follows.
1. Align the patient (Figure 16).
2. Apply cervical collar if necessary (Figure 17). For the correct application of cervical collar consult the WizLoc collar
manual (to request copies of the manual contact Ferno Italia Customer Service, page 2).

3. Apply the immobilizer (Figure 18). For the correct application of the immobilizer refer to the 365-E head immobilizer
manual (to request copies of the manual contact Ferno Italia Customer Service, page 2).
4. Place the stretcher next to the patient, adjust the length of the stretcher so that it is suitable for the height of the patient
(Figure 19). To adjust the length of the stretcher, see section 4.1 Adjusting the stretcher, page 9.

5. Before loading the patient on the stretcher, align the patient's jugular with small lateral holes on the stretcher (Figure 20).
Take additional care during this operation as this positions the patient correctly on the stretcher.
6. The two operators, arranged respectively at the foot and the head of the stretcher, open it by pressing the buttons on the
TSL system, longitudinally separating the two sides of the stretcher (Figure 21).
