Safety warnings
The radio-transparent stretchers are designed and manufactured so they can be
used to transfer patients up to 240kg (S1921002 ) or 300kg (S1921001).
For safety purposes it is important to check the maximum loads of the different
devices.
The maximum safety load of the combination hoist + stretcher is the lowest value
of the maximum loads.
Before using the stretcher with a hoist for patients, it is important to check the
user manual of the hoist to be sure that the hoist and its accessories (weighing
systems ..) are compatible with the use of a stretcher.
If not, or if the documentation is not present, do not use the stretcher with this
hoist, and contact the manufacturer or the distributor to get more information.
In the case of using the stretcher with an agitated patient, it is recommended to secure
the patient with slings in order to avoid the patient from falling. Patient slings can be
ordered as an option.
It is recommended to use the stretcher with a « column » hoist for patient when the
spreader bar is able to turn at 360° around an axis.
In the case of a mobile spreader bar (hoist equipped with an actuator) it is
recommended to use the stretcher with at least two caregivers: one person will
manipulate the hoist, the other should stay with the patient to insure the stability of the
stretcher.
The stretcher must be maintained only by qualified personnel and maintained only
with original spare parts.
SCALEO Medical stretchers have been designed to be used with 4 points spreader
bars used by SCALEO Medical hoists for patients.
If you use the stretcher with hoists of other manufacturers, check before use that
the spreader bar is compatible, and demand proofs of compatibility, including the
results of tests made under the EN 10535 standard.
SCALEO Medical is not responsible of accidents when using other hoists without
precaution.
SCALEO Medical stretchers can be used to carry the patient: spaces between the
slings may be used as handles.
Stretchers are medical devices , and should be installed, used and serviced by
trained personnel only
Stretchers Medical SCALEO are radio- transparent and contain only non magnetic
metal parts (aluminum, stainless steel screws)
However , the use of the stretcher with medical imaging like computed
tomography (CT) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is NOT claimed by SCALEO
Medical
