Rolling The In∫X - Ferno Integrated Patient Transport & Loading System iNX User Manual

5.7 Rolling the iN∫X
Rolling the iN∫X with a patient on it requires a minimum
●
of two trained operators who are communicating,
working together, and maintaining control of the iN∫X
at all times.
● Roll the iN∫X on smooth, unobstructed surfaces whenever
possible. To cross a low obstacle such as a threshold,
each operator lifts slightly as both operators roll the iN∫X
across the obstacle. Avoid jarring the patient.
Roll the iN∫X only at or below the recommended
●
transport height. Rolling above this height can increase
the chance for the iN∫X to tip. An audible alarm sounds
when the iN∫X is above the maximum transport height.
Do not roll the iN∫X sideways. Rolling the iN∫X sideways
●
can increase the chance for it to tip and injure the
patient and/or operators.
Use additional help as needed to safely control the
●
weight of the patient and iN∫X. See "Using Additional
Help" on page 10.
ROLLING THE iN∫X
1. Fasten and adjust the patient restraints.
2. Control-end Operator: Press
iN∫X height until the patient surface is at or below the
factory-set maximum transport height.
Both Operators: Position both operators at the
3.
sides of the iN∫X. Grasp and maintain control of the
iN∫X using the main frame. If additional help is used,
position the helpers at the sides of the iN∫X and the
operators at the control and loading ends. See "Using
Additional Help" on page 10.

or to adjust the
WARNING
Rolling the iN∫X above the factory-set maximum
transport height can cause it to tip. Only roll the iN∫X
at or below the factory-set maximum transport height.
Rolling the iN∫X sideways can cause it to tip. Roll the
iN∫X only toward the control end or loading end.
NOTICE
Roll the iN∫X downhill control-end first. If it is not medically
appropriate to do this, roll with the loading-end first, but
to maintain balance, the Loading-end Operator must
exert upward force on the main frame.
Operating the iN∫X requires a minimum of two trained
operators. They may need additional help when working
with heavy loads (patient plus equipment) or when
operating the iN∫X manually. See "Using Additional Help"
on page 10.

Talk to the Patient
Reassure the patient. Communicate before
adjusting the height and during the loading
and unloading processes.
Full 360° Movement
The iN∫X allows full maneuverability at any
height, even when fully folded.
