3.1 Description

The Ferno® Model 35-ITA Incubator Transporter (called the transporter 

in this manual) is an emergency patient-handling device designed to 

transport a patient in a ground-based ambulance.
The transporter is for professional use by a minimum of two trained 

operators. It is designed for roll-in loading to help reduce the risk of 

back injury to medical service personnel.
The transporter is designed for use with Ferno® fastening systems (not 

included). It is compatible with the incubators listed on the product 

information label affixed to the transporter. See “Safety and Instruction 

Labels” on page 5.
A safety hook and users’ manual  are included with purchase.
