Ferno 436 Series Quick Start Manual

Model 436 Speed-Clip Restraints
Description
The Model 436 Series Restraint ("restraint") can be attached
and removed quickly to a backboard, hand-carried stretcher,
scoop stretcher, stair chair, or extrication device (the
"equipment") using the built-in speed-clips.
Secondary-Use Restraint
Ferno defines this restraint as a Secondary-Use Restraint
because the speed-clip fasteners (and plastic buckles on some
models) are not suitable for use in a motor vehicle.
FeRno DeFinitionS
Primary-Use Restraints are suitable for securing a
●
patient on compatible equipment during transport in a
motor vehicle.
Secondary-Use Restraints ARE NOT suitable for
●
securing a patient during transport in a motor vehicle.
They are for temporary use to secure a patient on a
backboard, hand-carried stretcher, scoop stretcher, stair
chair, or extrication device. Transfer the patient onto an
ambulance cot or other device with primary restraints
before transport in a motor vehicle.
Specifications
The restraint is constructed with nylon webbing, brass speed
clips, and a buckle (metal or plastic, depending on the model).
The restraint is available in 5-foot (1524 mm) or 7-foot (2134
mm) lengths, and can be ordered individually or in sets of
four. A nylon carry bag is provided with sets of four restraints.
For restraint versions, refer to the chart on page 4.
Load Limit
When attached properly to compatible equipment, the restraint
is capable of securing a patient until transfer to an ambulance
cot or other device with primary restraints. Do not exceed the
load limit of the equipment.
General Guidelines for Use
Secondary-use restraints are not suitable for use in a
●
motor vehicle.
To be compatible, equipment must have speed-clip pins
●
to serve as anchor points for the restraint speed clips.
For placement on a patient, follow local protocols.
●
Adjust restraints to safely secure the patient on the
●
equipment without causing discomfort or impairing
circulation.
Keep restraints fastened when not in use to prevent
●
interference with equipment operation.
