the iN∫X as the legs adjust to place the iN∫X in the chair
position (Figure 35).

6. Unbuckle the restraints. If needed, rotate one or both
sidearms out of the way.
7. Adjust the backrest to suit the patient.
8. If needed, have one operator or assistant steady the
iN∫X so it will not move as the patient is seated.
9. Assist the patient onto the iN∫X following approved
emergency-medical procedures and local protocols.
10. Fasten and adjust the patient restraints.
11. Before moving the iN∫X or changing its position, make
sure sheets and other articles will not interfere with
