• Install side support extension packs accessory from accessory bag, if needed for smaller patient.
If pack adjuster crank has been turned all the way in, but side support packs still do not fit snugly
against patient's upper body, use side support extension packs accessory to secure patient.
- Place extensions between patient's sides and side support packs.
- Perform hand check, as described above, to ensure patient is
secure.
• Extend top end of side support pack to support
patient's axilla, if necessary:
- Pull knob (green or blue) up and hold.
- Slide and extend pack end toward patient's axilla
until patient is secure, as shown at right.
- Release knob. Ensure end of pack is locked into
desired position.
- U-shaped accessory pack should be used if side
support packs are extended to prevent adipose
tissue from migrating into gap to help prevent skin
breakdown.
Maintain a one-inch clearance (approximately
the width of two fingers) between the end of
the side support pack and the patient's axilla, as
shown at right. Never place side support pack
snugly against patient's axilla. Undue pressure on
axillary blood vessels and the brachial plexus may
result.
• Insert patient's arms into arm supports:
Consider the positioning of any tubes and lines when placing patient's arms into the arm
supports. Ensure lines are not kinked or pinched in buckles. Ensure lines have enough slack for
rotation.
