Specific Warnings; Residual Risk; Technical Data And Components - Spencer STX 519 Betriebs- Und Wartungshandbuch

Qualified personnel and at least two operators must be present during use of the device.
•
• Do not use if the device or parts of it are punctured, torn, frayed, or excessively worn.
• Follow the internal procedures and protocols approved by your organisation.
Do not alter or modify the device arbitrarily, as doing so could result in unpredictable operation and damage to the patient or rescuers and shall void the manufactu-
•
rer's warranty and release the manufacturer from all liability.
• Disinfection operations must be carried out in accordance with the validated cycle parameters, as stated in the specific technical standards.
• Do not use drying machines to dry the device. .

SPECIFIC WARNINGS

To use the basket stretchers, you must also have read, understood and carefully follow all the instructions in the user manual.
Always comply with the maximum capacity, if any, indicated in the User Manual. Maximum load capacity means the total weight distributed according to human ana-
•
tomy. When determining the total weight load on the product, the operator should consider the weight of the patient, equipment and accessories. In addition, the operator
should assess whether the overall size of the patient reduces the functionality of the product.
• If foreseen for the device, make sure that operators are in good physical condition before lifting, as listed in the User Manual.
• Establish a maintenance program and periodic checks, identifying a designated reference person. The person entrusted with routine maintenance of the device must ensure
the basic requirements envisaged by the manufacturer within these operating instructions.
• All maintenance activities must be recorded and documented with the relevant technical operation reports. This documentation must be kept for at least 10 years after the
end of the device's life and must be made available to the competent authorities and/or the manufacturer when requested.
• Never leave the patient on the device unsupervised, as they could get injured.
• Avoid contact with sharp objects.
IT
• Follow approved Emergency Medical Service procedures for patient immobilization and transportation.
Follow approved Emergency Medical Service procedures for patient positioning and transportation.
•
• Before lifting, make sure that operators have a secure grip on the supporting structure of the device.
• Perform rescue simulations with a stretcher and a patient simulating load and accessories before putting the device into service.
At least two operators in suitable physical conditions are required for use of the device. They must be endowed with strength, balance, coordination, common sense
•
and must be trained on the correct operation of the device.
• For patient loading techniques for particularly heavy patients, for operations on steep terrain or in special and unusual circumstances, the presence of more than two ope-
rators is recommended in addition to the two minimum operators.
EN
• Before each use, always check the conditions of the device and its components, as specified in the user manual. In case of faults or damage that may compromise the functio-
nality and safety of the device, and therefore the patient and the operator, remove the device from service or replace the components that are not intact.
• Do not winch the stretcher if the weight is not properly distributed.
• Use the devices only as described in this user manual.
Do not alter or modify the device to adapt it to unforeseen conditions of use: doing so could result in unpredictable operation and damage to the patient or rescuers
•
and shall void the manufacturer's warranty and release the manufacturer from all liability.
During hoisting, the stretcher must be kept horizontal with respect to the ground. Any abnormal inclination can cause serious damage to the patient, the device
•
and the operator.
DE
Use of the harnesses is classified as high risk or of a purely technical nature; these interventions must be carried out solely by personnel adequately trained and
•
experienced in rescue.
• For lifting with harness, use only the appropriate fixing points on the stretcher as indicated in the operating instructions.
To preserve the life of the device, protect it as much as possible from UV rays and adverse weather conditions.
•
• Spencer harnesses are not approved for use in aircraft.
• Always observe the maximum applicable static safety load indicated in this use and maintenance manual. Maximum static load is intended as a mechanical force applied
slowly, not quickly, beyond which the device may not be safe. This value does not take into account the dynamic forces to be added to the static load, such as shocks, vibra-
tions and possible weather and climate conditions during use of the device.
FR
• Use the device only with Basket stretchers manufactured by Spencer Italia S.r.l.
• Never leave the patient unsupervised when the device is in use, as they could get injured.
• After washing, the device and all its components must be left to dry completely before storage away from sunlight and direct heat sources.
• Do not machine wash the device.
• Avoid contact with sharp objects.
• Never use solvents or stain removers.
• Do not use the device if cuts, burns, abrasions, open seams or fraying are present.
• Do not drag the device on rough surfaces.
• The lifting device/means used must be approved by the regulations in force and it will be the user's responsibility to assess its applicability and the risks associated with
ES
its use.
• Always check the conditions of all parts of the straps and buckles before each use.
• Immediately replace devices with worn or damaged straps or buckles.
• Position and adjust the straps and buckles in such a way that they do not hinder rescuer operations or use of the use of rescue equipment.
• Keep the appropriate documentation for a period of ten years from the date of transfer to the final consumer and, therefore, show, where required, to trace the origin of
the products.
• Use of harnesses without proper patient immobilization can result in serious damage. Always make sure that the patient is properly immobilized before using the harnesses.
