Restraint Straps
WARNING
Always use all restraint straps to secure the pa-
tient on the cot. An unrestrained patient may fall
from the cot resulting in injury.
Always secure the patient on the cot with all the re-
straint straps.
Securely buckle the restraints
across the patient's chest/shoulders, waist and
legs.
When attaching the restraint straps to the cot, re-
member the attachment points should provide
strong anchorage and proper restraint positioning
while not interfering with equipment and accesso-
ries. Wrap the strap around the cot frame and
back through the loop on the end of the strap as
shown in the illustration.
CAUTION
To avoid damage to the buckles and straps, keep
the restraint straps buckled when the cot is not be-
ing used with a patient.
In addition to the alternate attachment points indi-
cated by the arrows, the restraint straps can be at-
tached anywhere on the litter frame tube.
