Using Restraint Straps (Continued)
Figure 17 - Buckling the Safety Restraints
CAUTION
Ensure that restraints are not entangled in the base frame when raising and lowering the cot.
When the cot is put into service, open the restraints and place them at either side of the cot until the patient is positioned
on the cot mattress. Lengthen the restraints, buckle them around the patient and shorten them until the required tightness
is achieved.
• To open the restraint, press the red button (A) on the front of the buckle "receiver". This releases the buckle "tang"
(B) which can then be pulled out of the receiver (Figure 17).
• To close the restraint, push the tang into the receiver until a "click" is heard. When fastening the chest restraint
ensure the tang passes through both links (C) on the shoulder strap (Figure 17).
• To lengthen the restraint, grasp the buckle tang, turn it at an angle to the webbing, then pull it out (Figure 18). A
hemmed tab at the end of the webbing prevents the tang from coming off the strap.
• To shorten the restraint, grasp the hemmed tab and pull the webbing back through the tang until the required
tightness is achieved (Figure 19).
Whenever a restraint is buckled on a patient, verify the tang is fully engaged and any extra webbing is not tangled in the
cot or hanging loose.
Inspection of the restraints should be done at least once a month (more frequently if used heavily). Inspection should
include checking for a bent or broken receiver or tang, torn or frayed webbing, etc. Any restraint showing wear or not
operating properly must be replaced immediately.
