04.2. Specific warnings

1. Use only accessories/spare parts that are original or approved by Promeba, S.L.
when performing any operation so as not to cause any alteration or modification to
the device, otherwise we do not assume any responsibility for the correct operation
or resulting damage of the device to the patient or the operator and the guarantee will
be considered void, as well as compliance with the Regulation 2017/745.
2. Always respect the maximum capacity of the device, as indicated in this user's
manual. Maximum load capacity means the total weight distributed according to the
human anatomy. In determining the load of the total weight on the product, the
operator must consider the weight of the patient, the equipment and the accessories.
Moreover, the operator must consider that the overall dimensions of the patient do
not reduce the functionality of the device.
3. Never leave the patient unassisted on the device, because he may be injured.
4. Do not use bleach to disinfect the device. Use a hydroalcoholic based disinfectant
and wash with water.
5. The device and all its components, after washing, should be allowed to dry
completely before storing.
6. Avoid contact with sharp objects.
7. Do not use the device if it is pierced, torn or frayed.
8. Make sure, before lifting, that the operators have a firm grip on the device.
9. Avoid pulling the device on rough surfaces.
10. The application of the device is not expected to last longer than the time required
for first response operations and the subsequent phases of transportation to the
nearest relief point. Do not use as a parking device.
11. To use the device, a minimum of two operators are needed in adequate physical
conditions, so they must have strength, balance, coordination and common sense
and must be trained in the device correct operation.
12. For particularly heavy patient loading and for rescue operations on steep terrain
or in unusual circumstances, the presence of more operators is recommended.
13. Make sure the belts are properly fastened to the frame of the stretcher.
14. Do not operate in case the weight has not been distributed correctly.
15. Pay close attention to possible obstacles (water, ice, debris, etc.) in the path of
the stretcher, as they could cause the operator to lose balance and compromise the
proper functioning of the device. If you cannot clear the path of obstacles, choose an
alternative path.
16. Condensation, water, ice and dust accumulations can affect the correct operation
of the device, making it unpredictable and causing a sudden change in the weight that
operators must carry.
17. Always immobilize the patient at least with the belts supplied by the manufacturer.
