Composition Of The Device - Boscarol CTS Operating Instructions Manual

ED01_REV02-2021 IFU CTS-EN

7. COMPOSITION OF THE DEVICE

The CTS Boscarol medical device is made of stitched nylon fabrics and
arranged in such a way as to prevent damage to the patient. The body
of the device (1 in the picture above) is accessible via a hinge on the
side which opens like a book.
The straps (detail 2 in the picture above) are designed to allow the
device to be attached to a vacuum mattress or stretcher (see side
picture 4).
A storage bag allows the device to be stored and kept in the ambulance
(see picture 3).
How to use CTS Boscarol
Lay the CTS on a stable and possibly clean surface. The device does not have a rigid bottom support and the fabric can
be damaged by objects or debris (e.g. from the road surface).
Stretch the straps on the stretcher or other transportation device.
Open the device by its hinges and disconnect the two central straps. Lift them completely and place a sterile cloth on
the bottom of the device which has two specific functions: to isolate the baby/infant from the synthetic fabric of which
the device is made and to retain any organic liquid leaks from the patient, thus avoiding contaminating the device and
making it difficult to reuse.
In the case of small or very small people, immobilisation of the head or
limbs can be carried out before or after laying the patient on the CTS (see
cervical collar or splints).
After placing the child/infant on the CTS attach the straps and transfer
him/her to the transportation device.
Never improvise as a rescuer unless you have experience, skills and
expertise. Normally the number of rescuers for these operations is two.
ATTENTION
The sheet to be placed between the child/infant should be specifically designed to also retain bodily fluids released
during rescue and transport operations. The photo on the next page shows how to prepare the sheet.

The straps that secure the CTS to the stretcher or transportation device are relatively long
and can pose a danger to the rescuer and the patient. Always keep an eye on them to
prevent them from posing a danger to the rescuer's movements!
