3. Secure the yellow straps to the quick release anchor points located at the yellow line at the armpits.
4. Secure the patients by adjusting the yellow straps first, then the black straps. The center strap should
be positioned so that it is between the band and the patient's sternal notch.
5. Check to make sure the straps do not interfere with the movement of the band. Monitor the
patient's alignment and readjust as needed.

Warnings

• Inspect the shoulder restraint before each use. Discard if you observe:
• Broken stitching
• Frayed or cut fabric or straps
• Broken, cracked, or deteriorated buckles, rings, closure or other types of connectors
• Other signs of deterioration
• Check the patient frequently.
• Make sure the straps are not twisted.
• Make sure the straps are not entangled with the band.
• Monitor patient for full chest recoil after tightening the straps.
• Improper use could result in serious injury.
• Motion can cause the patient to shift and shoulder restraints to loosen. Before starting
or restarting treatment, ensure that you have correctly attached the shoulder restraint
and the patient is aligned properly to the platform. During active compressions,
regularly check to maintain correct patient alignment to the platform and band.
