Using the Chair
6.1 Before Placing the Chair
in Service
Personnel who will work with the chair need to
read this manual.
Set up the chair, following instructions in Chair
Setup (see Pages 10, 11).
Confirm that the chair operates properly. Follow
instructions in Inspecting the Chair, page 24.
6.2 General Guidelines for Use
•
Using the chair requires a minimum of two trained
operators.
•
Ferno recommends that a third trained person
serve as a "spotter" while the chair is being moved
up or down stairs.
•
Operators may need help when working with
heavy loads (patient and equipment). See Using
Additional Help, page 22, for recommended
placement of operators and helpers.
•
Operators work together at all times.
Communicate with one another and coordinate
your actions to operate the chair.
•
Follow standard emergency patient-handling
procedures when operating the chair.
•
Stay with the patient at all times.
•
Always use patient restraints.
