4.1 Before Placing into Service
1. Remove XTRIC8 from its bag and record serial numbers and
other relevant information (Figure 1).
2. Inspect XTRIC8 and ensure it is damage free.
3. Peel o the protective lm from the inside surface of the
XTRIC8 (Figure 2).
4. Before and after each use, inspect the XTRIC8 buckles,
materials and webbing components. If there are any signs
of damage, DO NOT use XTRIC8 and remove it from service
immediately.
4.2 XTRIC8 Restraints
The XTRIC8 is tted with an integrated restraint system comprising:
1. An internal body harness which secures the patient to the
sled’s interior, and
2. Four adjustable external restraint straps that secures the
patient and the keeps the XTRIC8’s shape once it is wrapped
around the patient.
These restraints supplement equipment you will typically used to
tie in a patient in a high-angle scenario.
Only use the XTRIC8 restraints for securing the patient into the
sled, and the provided handles for lifting by hand.
EXTERNAL RESTRAINTS
XTRIC8 restraints use an upgraded slotted buckle system which
are easier to secure in the eld (Figure 3).
To fasten two straps together:
1. Thread the male buckle through the underside of the slotted
female buckle (Figure 4).
2. When the buckles are threaded together, pull slightly on the
free tail end of the webbing to ensure the two buckle halves
are rmly seated together (Figure 5).
Tighten the restraint by pulling on the free end of the webbing.
Loosen the restraint by pulling the red quick release tab toward
the buckle and continue pulling until the restraint is as loose as
desired (Figure 6).

6  Using the XTRIC8
6.1 Placing & Securing the Patient
PLACING THE PATIENT
The XTRIC8’s centre of gravity is between the
head and foot end bridle attachment points. For
optimal positioning, place the patient’s hips /
buttocks within the two external restraints nearest
the head end (Figure 11).
1. Place the patient onto the XTRIC8:
• Lay the patient on to the prepared XTRIC8,
noting the optimum centre of gravity. The
patient will be laying on top of the opened
external restraint straps (Figure 12).
• Position the internal foot stand harness under
the arches of the patient’s feet and adjust the
strap length so there is no slack in the foot
stand harness (Figure 12 inset).
12
2. Secure the patient to XTRIC8 with the internal
patient harness:
• Lay the internal harness over the patient and
position the harness’pelvic and leg strapover
the patient’s hips. Undo the leg strap buckles
and adjust the strap lengths as necessary.
Feed the right leg strap starting between
the patient’s legs, around the right hip and
connect to the right-hand-side buckle on the
pelvic strap. Repeat these actions for the left
leg. Adjust and tighten the leg straps for a
comfortable t (Figure 13).
If preparing for a vertical lift, leave the shoulder
straps loose until the patient is raised into the
vertical position.
11
NOTE: The XTRIC8 Rescue Sled is not intended as a spinal
immobilisation device.
Patients suspected of or suering spinal injury should
be appropriately stabilised and immobilised before they
are secured into the XTRIC8.
The XTRIC8 is compatible with the following spinal im-
mobilisation devices:
• Ferno KED PRO
• Ferno KED
• Ferno XT
• Ferno EXL Scoop Stretcher
• Ferno 65 Scoop Stretcher

6  Using the XTRIC8
3. Wrap the XTRIC8 around the patient:
• Take both halves of the waist-level external
restraint straps and connect them together.
Gradually tighten the external straps. This will
make the XTRIC8 sides wrap around the patient.
• Continue connecting the external straps until
all four (4) external restraints are adjusted and
securely fastened.
• Adjust the foot strap to form a protective barrier
for the patient’s feet, and to retain the XTRIC8’s
shape (Figure 14).
• Tighten the shape retention straps to form a
protective shield around the patient’s head
(Figure 15 A).
• The patient is ready for extraction (Figure 15)
DISCONNECTING EXTERNAL RESTRAINTS

6.2 Methods of Extraction
There are four possible methods of extraction:
1. Carry Handle Method
2. Horizontal Lifting Method - High Angle Rescue
3. Vertical Lifting Method - High Angle Rescue
4. Dragging Method
1. Carry Handle method
The XTRIC8 has six easy-grip carry handles. A minimum
of four people should carry the XTRIC8, two on each side
(Figure 16).
1. Each operator grasps a carry handle.
2. In a coordinated action, lift the XTRIC8 and proceed to
the desired location.
If additional people are required to assist, use an even
number of people and position them around the XTRIC8
so the load / weight is evenly shared. Operators should
maintain control of the XTRIC8 and provide direction to
helpers or assistants.
NOTICE
Refer to local protocols and guidelines regarding
manual handling and lifting of persons or objects.
