3  ABOUT THE UNICLIPDOC
About the UNI-ClipDoc
3.1 - Product Overview
UNI-ClipDoc is an interface designed to allow patient-carrying
equipment such as incubators and patient platforms like the
LifePort AeroSled TS to be transferred from a helicopter or aircraft
onto an ambulance trolley, providing a secure system to hold the
patient on the trolley, to then directly transfer into an Ambulance
for the remainder of the journey, thereby providing a safe and
seamless transport of patients by air and by road.
UNI-ClipDoc consists of two plates which attach together to
form a platform which can be attached to any of Ferno's range
of ambulance trolleys. The platform emulates the locking
mechanism on the oor of the air ambulance, thereby allowing
any patient platform that is used in an aircraft to be also locked
onto the top of an ambulance trolley.
The product is supplied with 2 dierent sets of "cross-member"
xing brackets, the rst set incorporating a ratchet mechanism,
allowing the UNI-ClipDoc to be attached to trolleys that have a
top-frame to attach to, such as Ferno's Pegasus, Megasus and
Harrier and Stryker's PowerPro TL.
The second xing bracket set incorporates a clamping mechanism
which allows the UNI-ClipDoc to be clamped to the integral
siderail interface on both PowerX and iNX trolleys, providing a
safe and quick method of attachment and detachment.
Assembly and attachment of the UNI-ClipDoc using the supplied
two sets of brackets is explained in detail later in this manual.
Procedure for attachment of the incubator or patient platform
to the UNI-ClipDoc follows the similar method of attaching to
the aircraft oor. Details of the platform locking mechanism are
explained in more detail.
All components are supplied in storage bags with carry handles,
allowing for easy storage, moving and access of the product as
and when required.
3.2 - Auxiliary Bridging plate (Optional)
Also available as an option for UNI-ClipDoc is a bridging plate, to
bridge the gap between aircraft oor and trolley where the trolley
cannot be brought directly up to the aircraft, facilitating transfer
directly from aircraft oor to UNI-ClipDoc without the need to lift
the patient platform. The bridging pate is available in dierent
lengths according to the gap that needs to be bridged.
Instructions on using the optional bridging plate are included
in a separate instruction sheet supplied with the bridging plate
itself as this may dier according to requirements.

5.2 Assembly of UNI-ClipDoc
UNI-ClipDoc can be split into two sections to aid storage
and transport when not in use. Assembly / dis-assembly
of the UNI-ClipDoc requires two operators and does not
require the use of any tools. The UNI-ClipDoc should be
assembled on a smooth, level surface and debris gloves
should be worn to avoid any possible operator injury.
• Remove the two halves of the
UNI-ClipDoc from their storage
bags and check all items are
present and in good condition
before proceeding. Each
section is marked to denote
head-end and foot-end.
• Stand the foot-end section of
the unit upright on the rubber
feet.
• Whilst the rst operator holds
the foot-end section upright,
the second operator can then
lift the head-end section up
and insert the black spigots
into the sockets on the foot-
end section.
• Keeping ngers clear, push
down on the head-end section
to ensure the pegs are fully
inserted and no gap exists
between the two sections.
• Insert the spring loaded
locking pins (one on each side)

Maintenance
7  MAINTENANCE
7.1 - Maintenance Schedule
The Uni-ClipDoc and Ambulance trolley used both require regular
preventative maintenance. Set up and follow a maintenance
schedule. The table at right/below represents minimum intervals
for maintenance.
It is suggested that the Ambulance trolley and UNI-ClipDoc used
for a transportation is visually inspected after every completed
patient transfer.
Keep maintenance records. A sample maintenance record sheet is
provided at the end of this manual.
When using maintenance products, follow the manufacturers’
directions and read the manufacturers’ material safety data sheets.
You can purchase a recommended disinfectant from your Ferno
distributor or Ferno UK Service Department.
7.2 - Disinfection of UNI-ClipDOC
Clean the unit and component parts regularly using warm water
and a mild soap or detergent.
Do not use high pressure washers
Wipe all surfaces with disinfectant. Follow the disinfectant
manufacturer’s instructions for application method and contact
time. Ferno recommends you inspect the equipment for damage
as you clean or disinfect it.

IMPORTANT
Disinfectants and cleaners containing bleach, phenolic, or
iodine can cause damage. Do not use products containing
these chemicals.
7.3 - Cleaning the Ambulance Trolley
Regular cleaning helps reduce the risk of transmitting disease and
enables equipment to function at its optimum.
Steam cleaning or power washing of the trolley with a suitable
cleaning additive is the most eective method of cleaning.
Although sealed to IPX6 rating, avoid spraying directly onto
the electrical components. When using a steam cleaner or jet
wash, ensure to operate at a safe working distance and with the
cleaning nozzle at all times positioned at least 8inch / 20cm from
the surface being cleaned, using water at a temperature no more
than 60ºC / 140ºF.
Wipe all surfaces with disinfectant. Follow the disinfectant
manufacturer’s instructions for application method and contact
time. Ferno recommends you inspect the trolley for damage as
you clean and disinfect it.
1. Remove the mattress, restraints and any accessories.
2. Hand clean all surfaces of the trolley with warm water and a
mild detergent.
3. Rinse with warm, clear water. Dry the trolley with a towel
and allow it to air-dry thoroughly, replacing the mattress and
harness/restraints prior to storage.
Once cleaned, dry the trolley with a soft towel, paying particular
attention to swivel and sliding joints. If a compressed air hose is
available, you may nd that compressed air jets are more eective
in drying the hard-to-reach places.
7.4 - Reattachment of Mattress and
Restraints after using UNI-ClipDoc
Ensure that the mattress and trolley patient restraints are placed
back on the trolley after each patient transfer using UNI-ClipDoc
has been completed. Take extra care to ensure that the restraint
straps are correctly re-attached to the trolley.
7.5 - Lubrication of Trolley parts
Disinfect and clean the trolley before applying lubricant. Use
the lubricants designated below to lubricate the trolley. Do not
lubricate points marked with the “do not lubricate”symbol.
Your Ferno Trolley will work eciently and safely only when it is
lubricated. You MUST lubricate all moving and sliding parts after
every inspection or preventative maintenance programme, or if
there is inadequate lubrication for the moving parts to operate
easily and quietly.
In general terms, almost all sliding and moving parts may be
lubricated with light duty grease. A penetrating uid lubrication
is used on some sliding parts of the trolley. However, when a
penetrating uid lubricant is used, all excess MUST be wiped
away, to prevent any build-up of dust or grime which can clog up
working parts and impede movement.
Do Not Lubricate Lubricate
IMPORTANT
Lubricating parts that should not be lubricated allows
dirt and foreign particles to collect on those parts,
resulting in damage. Lubricate only the numbered
reference points shown.
WARNING
Improper maintenance can cause injury. Maintain the
trolley and UNI-ClipDoc only as described in this manual.
