Patient Restraints - Ferno Integrated Patient Transport & Loading System iNX User Manual

6.11 Patient Restraints

The restraint system includes a pelvis strap, chest strap, harness,
and two-piece leg restraint (Figure 58). The patient restraints are
positioned both above and below the mattress. To prepare the
iN∫X for use, follow the procedures in this section.
An unrestrained patient can be injured. Use properly-
installed patient restraints to secure the patient on
the iN∫X.
To attach patient restraints, refer to "Bracket-and-Post
System" below and the instructions on the next page. Keep
the patient restraints buckled when not in use.
1. To secure a patient on the iN∫X, unbuckle the harness,
pelvis, and leg restraints and position the straps out of
the way.
2. Transfer the patient onto the iN∫X following local
protocols. Adjust the backrest, shock frame, and
restraint length as needed.
3. Lay the shoulder straps on the patient's chest, with the
links extended to the patient's waist.
4. Guide the pelvis-strap tang (metal buckle) through the
links and fasten the buckle (Figure 58).
5. Adjust the pelvis strap and shoulder straps so they are
snug on the patient.
6. Fasten the chest strap across the patient's rib cage
(Figure 58).
7. Fasten the leg restraint over the patient's legs (Figure 58).
BRACKET-AND-POST SYSTEM
The pelvis strap and harness attach to the iN∫X with a bracket-
and-post system. To attach the straps:
1. Orient the bracket on the restraint strap with the bend
facing the center of the iN∫X and the tab up (Figure 59).
2. Slide the bracket over the post and pull the bracket
upward to seat the post in the small end of the bracket.
3. Insert the retaining plug into the bracket (Figure 59).
Restraint Colors
When buckling the patient restraints,
match the color-coded pieces:
● Red-to-Red (Harness Links connect
to Pelvis Strap buckle)
● Black-to-Black (Harness Chest Strap
and Leg Restraint buckles)
Buckle Orientation
Ferno recommends that you attach
all patient restraints with the buckles
at the same side for operator
convenience and efficiency.
