1. Intended Use of CCT Six-P
The CCT Six-P 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-P is a fixed height trolley and its intended use is for the transportation of
critically ill patients. The CCT Six-P also provides the facility and storage for ancillary
equipment on a fixed base tray and drawers.
WARNING – Although the CCT Six-P is designed to fit into a vehicle that has a
Ferno CEN two-part locking device provided for securing the Ferno Falcon Six
Trolley it should be noted that the CCT Six-P’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.
2. Do the trolley sides raise and lower properly?
3. Check that the wheels and brakes operate satisfactorily.
4. Study this manual before use. Practice without a patient until totally competent in
using the trolley.
5. Any additional equipment should be checked in accordance with the
manufacturers’ 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 the 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.
REFER TO PAGES 7 & 8 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.
