6.9 Patient Restraints

A set of three patient restraints is supplied (Figure 27):
• a torso restraint used at the patient's chest/waist;
• a two-piece, seven-foot (2.1 m) restraint used at
the patient's hips/thighs;
• a two-piece, five-foot (1.5 m) restraint for use at
the patient's legs/ankles.
Use all three restraints to secure the patient on the cot.
Adjust restraints to safely secure the patient without
causing discomfort or impairing circulation. Keep the
restraints fastened when not in use to prevent them from
interfering with cot operation.
The guide strap supplied with the torso restraint
(Figure 27) is designed to help keep the restraints from
sliding off the patient's shoulders. Thread the guide
strap onto each shoulder strap and position the guide
strap near the backrest frame.
To attach, use, and maintain restraints, see the restraint
users' manuals (supplied). Additional free manuals are
available from Ferno Customer Relations (page 41).

6.10 Locking Mattress

The five hooks on the bottom of the mattress are used
to anchor the mattress to the cot and limit its movement.
Secure the mattress on the cot using all five hooks.
1. Place the mattress on the cot.
2. Raise the shock frame and/or backrest as needed
to feed the hooks through the holes in the bed
panels (Figure 28).
To remove the mattress, slide one hand under the
mattress and apply upward pressure while removing
each hook from the bed surface with your other hand.
Note: Two mattress styles have been produced; the
only difference is the location of the upper hooks.
