Specific warnings

· Establish a maintenance program and periodic tests, identifying a reference employee. The person entrus-
ted with the ordinary maintenance of the device must guarantee the basic requirements foreseen by the
manufacturer in the user manual.
· Use only accessories/spare parts original or approved by Promeba, S.L., in order to carry out any operation
without altering or modifying the device; otherwise we assume no responsibility for the correct operation
or damage resulting from the device to the patient or the operator and the warranty will be considered
void, in accordance with the compliance of the Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC.
· Always respect the maximum load capacity of the device, as indicated in this manual. The maximum load
capacity means the total weight distributed according to the human anatomy. When determining the load
of the total weight on the product, the operator should consider the patient's weight, equipment and ac-
cessories. In addition, the operator must consider that the overall dimensions of the patient do not reduce
the functionality of the device.
· Never leave the patient without any assistance in the device, because he could be injured.
· The device and all its components, after being washed, should be allowed to dry completely before stora-
ge.
· Lubrication must be carried out after cleaning and complete drying.
· Follow the procedures approved by the Emergency Medical Services for the immobilization and transpor-
tation of the patient.
· Follow the procedures approved by the Emergency Medical Services for the positioning and transporta-
tion of the patient.
· Avoid contact with sharp objects.
· Do not use the device if it is pierced, torn or frayed.
· Make sure that, before lifting the device, operators have a firm grip on the device.
· Avoid pulling the device on rough surfaces.
· Do not lift by crane or other mechanical lifts.
· The device is a stretcher/chair for transporting patients and cannot be used as a stationing device.
First, practice with an empty stretcher/chair to get used to the way in which the stretcher/chair maneuvers.
· For the use of the device, at least two operators are needed in appropriate physical conditions; therefore,
they must have strength, balance, coordination and common sense and must be trained on the correct
functioning of the device of the stretcher/chair.
· For techniques for loading particularly heavy patients, for rescue operations on steep ground or in unusual
circumstances, the presence of more operators is recommended (not only two, as required under standard
conditions).
· The maximum weight sustained by each rescuer must comply with the requirements prescribed by the law
of the country, related to health and safety at work.
· Before each use, check the integrity of the belts and their hooks, as specified in the manual. In case of
malfunction or any damage that may compromise the function and safety of the device, the patient or the
operator, it is necessary to replace the belts.
