CMC Rescue Patient Tie-In System Manual

THE USER INSTRUCTIONS
NFPA Standard 1983 recommends separating the user
instructions from the equipment and retaining them in a
permanent record. The standard also recommends mak-
ing a copy of the instructions to keep with the equipment
and that the instructions should be referred to before and
after each use.
INSPECTING THE EQUIPMENT
Inspect the equipment according to your department's
policy for inspecting life-support equipment. The assembly
should be inspected after each use by an inspector that
meets your department's training standard for inspection
of life-support equipment. Record the date of the inspec-
tion and the results in an appropriate equipment log. Each
user should be trained in equipment inspection and should
do a cursory inspection before each use.
When inspecting the equipment, check the webbing for
cuts, worn or frayed areas, broken fibers, soft or hard
spots, discoloration, or melted fibers. Check the stitching
for pulled threads, abrasion, or breaks. Check the hard-
ware for damage, sharp edges, and improper operation. If
any of the above are noted, if the equipment has been
subjected to any form of abuse other than normal use, or.
if there is any doubt about the serviceability of the equip-
ment, remove the assembly from service and destroy it.
CARRYING, MAINTENANCE & STORAGE
During use, carrying, and storage keep the equipment
away from acids, alkalis, exhaust emissions, rust and
strong chemicals. Do not expose the equipment to flame
or high temperatures. Carry the equipment where it will be
protected as system components could melt or burn and
fail if exposed to flame or high temperatures.
If the web becomes soiled, it can be washed in cold water
with a mild detergent. CMC Rescue recommends the use
of LifeLine Cleaner. Dry out of direct sunlight. Do not dry
in an automatic dryer. Store in a cool, dry location.
CMC recommends that all repair work be done by the
manufacturer. All other repair work or modifications may
void the warranty and shall release CMC Rescue, Inc.
from all liability and responsibility as the manufacturer.
SAMPLE INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE LOG
The sample log suggests records that should be main-
tained by the purchaser of the rescue equipment.
