6. OPERATION
6.4 BACKREST EMERGENCY RELEASE
WARNING: Keep clear of the backrest when the backrest emergency
release is activated.
WARNING: The speed of backrest descent will vary depending
on the weight of the patient.
WARNING: Release the CPR lever to stop backrest descent in a
hazardous situation.
CAUTION: If CPR lever is released before backrest is fully lowered, then
inspection of actuator is required to check for potential damage.
CAUTION: Only use the backrest emergency release in emergencies.
A red CPR lever is accessible on both sides of the stretcher to lower the
backrest quickly in the case of emergencies (CPR).
To lower the backrest in an emergency:
1. Move and hold the red CPR lever towards the head end.
2. The backrest will lower to the flat position.
3. Release the CPR lever.
CAUTION: Backrest may not fully raise once the CPR lever has been
used. If this occurs fully lower the backrest using the
handset to reset the actuator position.
6.5 BATTERY
WARNING: Do not expose the battery to open flames or immerse in liquid.
The battery allows the stretcher to be adjusted when the power cord is not connected to the mains supply.
Connect the power cord to the mains supply to charge the battery. If the stretcher is not used for a long period of
time, charge the battery for a minimum of six hours once every three months.
NOTE:
Charge batteries 24 hours prior to first use.
NOTE:
Keep the stretcher plugged in for optimum performance and higher running speed.
NOTE:
The battery is a sealed lead-acid type and should be charged regularly to maximise battery life. Do not
discharge fully as this will reduce its life.
6.6 POTENTIAL EQUALISATION (POAG)
The potential equalisation terminal (POAG) is located at the head end, left
side of the deck. The POAG ensures the patient and any medical device is
at the same potential, i.e. voltage and current.
Intravascular or intracardiac procedures have a risk of stray electricity coming
into contact with the patient's heart. With such procedures, the stretcher
must be protectively earthed from the POAG terminal to the equipotential
node within the building structure. This does not rely on the functional earth
connection of the mains plug.
