Chair Setup

4.1 Restraint Configurations for
Chair with ABS Panels
Follow local protocols when choosing a configuration. Two
possible configurations are described below.
HORIZONTAL CONFIGURATION
Use one restraint for the chest and one restraint for the lap
(Figure 1).
1. Attach the chest straps through matching horizontal or
vertical slots in the backrest panel.
2. Attach the lap straps through the seat panel slots.
CRISS-CROSS CONFIGURATION
Use two restraints for the torso. Ferno recommends using a
third restraint for the lap (Figure 2).
1. Attach one strap of a restraint through a vertical slot
on the backrest panel of the chair.
2. Attach the other strap of the restraint through the seat
panel slot on the opposite side of the chair.
3. Repeat with the second restraint, attaching its straps to
opposite sides of the chair.
4. Attach the lap restraint through the seat-panel slots.
WARNING
Attaching one-piece restraints improperly can allow
seat and back panels to dislodge, resulting in injury.
Restraints must capture panels AND chair frame.

4.2 Using One-Piece Restraints

Ferno recommends using two-piece restraints with the
backrest and seat panels, but if you choose to use one-
piece restraints, they must capture both the panel and
frame, as follows:
1. Work from the patient side of the panel and feed the
ends of the restraint through the slots on opposite sides
of the panel.
2. Wrap the restraint around the aluminum chair frame,
capturing the panel and the frame (Figure 3 Top).
3. Buckle the restraint (Figure 3 Inset) and adjust the
length.
