Setup; Attaching Patient Restraints; Restraint Configurations - Ferno EZ-Glide 59T User Manual

4.1 Attaching Patient Restraints

Use patient restraints to help hold the patient on the chair. Each
restraint must capture both the aluminum chair frame and the seat or
back panel. Follow local protocols when attaching restraints.
USING TWO-PIECE RESTRAINTS
1. Feed a restraint strap loop through a slot in the seat or back panel.
2. Wrap the strap around the aluminum chair frame and feed the male
or female buckle through the loop, then pull the strap tight against
the frame and panel.
3. Repeat Steps 1-2 for the other half of the restraint.
USING ONE-PIECE RESTRAINTS
Note:
Two-piece restraints are recommended.
1. To attach the seat-panel restraint, lay the restraint across the
top of the seat panel and feed the male and female ends of the
restraint down through the slots.
2. Wrap the restraint around the aluminum chair frame on each side
of the chair, capturing both the panel and the frame (Figure 1).
3. Buckle the restraint and adjust the length.
4. Repeat Steps 1-3 to attach the back-panel restraint.

4.2 Restraint Configurations

Follow local protocols when configuring and using restraints. Two
possible configurations are described below.
HORIZONTAL CONFIGURATION
Use one restraint for the chest and one restraint for the lap (Figure 2).
Use additional restraints as needed.
1. Attach the chest straps through vertical slots in the back panel.
2. Attach the lap straps through the seat panel slots.
CRISS-CROSS CONFIGURATION
Use two restraints for the torso and a third restraint for the lap (Figure 2).
1. Attach one strap of a restraint through a horizontal slot on the
back panel of the chair.
2. Attach the mating strap of the same restraint through the seat
panel slot on the opposite side of the chair.
3. Repeat with the second restraint, attaching its straps to opposite
sides of the chair.
4. Attach the lap restraint through the seat-panel slots.
