1. Intended Use of CCT Six-M
The CCT Six-M is intended for use by fully qualified, trained and competent carers,
attendants, paramedics or other such medical staff as an aid to provide safe and secure
transportation of patients.
The CCT Six-M is a fixed height trolley and its intended use is for the transportation of
critically ill patients. The CCT Six-M also provides the facility and storage for ancillary
equipment on a fixed base tray and drawers.
The CCT Six-M is provided with an added facility that allows the top lying area to be
widened to suit the larger patient.
WARNING – Although the CCT Six-M is designed to fit into a vehicle that has a
Ferno CEN two-part locking device provided for securing the Ferno Falcon Six or
Pegasus Six Trolleys it should be noted that the CCT Six-M’s fixed height is higher
than that of the Falcon transport height. Furthermore, the stability of the trolley
within the locking device could be affected by the addition of care equipment, this
equipment should be equally spaced about the trolley, whenever possible.
Combining different manufacturers’ products into a “mixed-component” trolley/fastener
system can increase the user’s risk of injury and damage if not checked first for
compatibility.
However, Ferno trolleys are designed to be compatible with either the Ferno range of Two-
part locking devices or competitors equivalent locking devices, giving you full compatibility
and interchangeability across your fleet.

3. Checking the trolley
The following checks are recommended before the start of each shift's use of the Ferno
Trolley.
1. Does the trolley have a properly installed mattress and patient restraining system?
Check the mattress for damage; if any damage is found, it must be replaced. (Please
refer to page 11 for fitting instructions)
2. Do the trolley sides raise and lower properly?
3. Check that the wheels and brakes operate satisfactorily.
4. Check the cotsides lock in a fully retracted, intermediate and extended position and
that they slide with a smooth action.
5. Does the headrest extension operate correctly and lock in position?
6. Study this manual before use. Practice without a patient until totally competent in using
the trolley.
7. Any additional equipment should be checked in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions.
Once these checks have been completed, then the trolley is ready to be used in regular
service.

Important Notes
There is no mandatory standard for a Critical Care Trolley, but Ferno
(UK) Ltd have taken the initiative to test a similar unit in accordance
with BS EN 1789, which is considered as ‘best practice’ for safety
within ambulance transport.
We can confirm that provided the unit is locked into the Ferno two-
part locking device, the trolley retention will meet the requirements of
this standard.
Always ensure that two operators are with the trolley at all times.
It is advised when rolling the trolley along hospital corridors or similar smooth
surfaces, roll the trolley by firmly grasping the main frame, for added control.
Trapping hazards cannot be eliminated due to the operation of this product. EXTRA
CARE to be taken whilst raising and lowering the back rest, operating leg rest
features and any features with hinge assemblies.
To make full use of the CCT Six-M Trolley with cotsides extended, a Two-part 255
mm gauge track lock system, mounted towards the centre of the vehicle should be
used.
REFER TO PAGES 8 & 9 IF USING PRODUCT WITH 2-PART TRACK-MOUNTED
FLOOR LOCK
This product must be regularly serviced and maintained in line with the
manufacturer’s recommendation to ensure satisfactory operation. A preventative
maintenance scheme should be contracted at time of purchase. Regular cleaning
helps reduce the risk of transmitting disease and enables the equipment to function
at its optimum.
PLEASE NOTE
Cot Sides are not intended to be used to either manoeuvre or lift the trolley,
damage may result from this practice.

4. Operating Procedure
WARNING
Always ensure that two trained personnel are with the trolley at all times
Ensure that the following procedures are complied with:
1. Advise the patient before making adjustments.
2. Stay with the patient and control the trolley at all times.
3. Keep the patient restrained and the side rails up when using the trolley.
4. Use help when needed to ensure patient and operator safety.
Transferring a Patient onto the Trolley
1. Lower the cot side rails. (Note that cotsides must be in the retracted position).
2. Place the trolley beside the patient and open the restraints.
3. Ensure that both brakes are applied.
4. Transfer the patient onto the trolley using recognised manual handling procedures.
5. Close the restraints around the patient (see page 10).
6. Raise the cot side rails.
7. Make adjustments as necessary.
Wheeling the Trolley
1. Transporting a patient should be done with the side rails raised and the harness and
restraining straps fastened (see page 10).
2. The trolley is best rolled by two attendants, one pulling and the other assisting with
guidance and steering as necessary.
3. If low obstacles (such as door sills) are encountered, roll up to them squarely and lift
the leading wheels over the obstacle. Repeat for the trailing wheels.
4. High obstacles should be recognised as potentially hazardous to smooth rolling and
trolley balance and may require physical assistance or an alternative route.
5. Ensure that the harness and restraints are fastened around the patient (see page 10).
6. The cot sides are provided for patient comfort and must not be used for lifting or
manoeuvring the stretcher.

4. Operating Procedure
Loading the trolley into a vehicle fitted with ramps
1. Make sure that the patient is secure at all times whilst on the trolley.
2. The trolley is loaded with the patient's head towards the front of the ambulance.
3. Position the trolley at the base of the ramp, head end first.
4. With the operator at the head end pulling and the operator at the foot end pushing
simultaneously, the trolley can now be advanced into the vehicle.
Manual Foot End Lock
1. Ensure that the pedal on the foot end lock is depressed and guide the trolley into the
head end floor lock. The foot end will automatically lock when the trolley is in the
correct position.
2. Ferno UK Ltd set the locking function of each trolley before leaving the factory, this
function is set to a nominal setting to accommodate all two-part locking devices. To
alleviate any build-up of tolerance/discrepancies during manufacture/ installation and
different manufacturers locking devices, each Ferno trolley has in-built adjustment to
both the head-end (horizontal) and foot-end (vertical) locking spindles. Should
adjustment to either of these locking spindles be required, it is important to check
compatibility in several vehicles to ensure a secure locking function.
This process must only be carried out by an approved ServiceCare trained technician.
Unloading the trolley from a vehicle fitted with ramps
1. Make sure that the patient is disconnected from any vehicle mounted apparatus or
instrumentation.
2. Operation by a minimum of two operators at all times.
3. Disengage the trolley from the two-part locking device by depressing the foot pedal and
roll the trolley to the rear of the ambulance compartment.
4. Using two operators guide the trolley down the ramp and out of the vehicle.
