Operating the Trolley
5.17 - Using SX Cotsides for Bariatric
Transfers
When in the horizontal position, the Surface Xtenders create an
extended patient surface to accommodate larger mass patients
and are designed to support the extremities of the patient's body.
Load-bearing SX cotsides extended patient surface
Note that when carrying out a lateral transfer to or from the
trolley, the SX cotside on the side of the trolley the patient is to
be moved must be moved fully down prior to transferring the
patient. SX cotsides are load-bearing but are not designed to
take the full weight of the patient whilst lateral transfer is being
performed.
5.18 - Positioning of SX Cotsides
The Surface Xtender cotsides normal positioning on CCT-PX
is such that the head-end side of the cotside is in line with the
backrest pivot point.
The SX cotsides can be positioned according to individual
patient's needs, for example in a planned bariatric transfer where
more support is required near the legs, the SX cotside can be
moved further down the trolley.
For further details on fitting, positioning and operation of
the Surface Xtender cotsides, refer to the SX user manual, ref
00334-AU*UK.

5.19 - Sidepad for SX Surface eXtender
Cotsides (Option)
As an extension to the CCT-PX AB-PR mattress when using the
SX surface extender cotsides, padded sidepads are available to
fit over the SX cotsides to give enhanced tissue viability when
utilising the cotsides.
These are held onto the cotsides using the 2 straps that are
attached to each sidepad.

5.20 - Attachment of the SX Cotsides
The SX cotsides are fixed to the trolley onto the siderail interface
and are fixed by a clamp bolted around the trolley side interface
rail. Whilst not designed to take off and on as and when required,
they can be unfastened and removed by unscrewing the bolts
using an M5 size Allen key.
