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.

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 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 chair frame,
capturing the panel and the frame (Figure 3 Top).
3. Buckle the restraint (Figure 3 Inset) and adjust
the length.
