Model 35-ITA Incubator Transporter
7.4 Safety Hook Installation
The safety hook (provided, Figure 18) secures the transporter inside
the ambulance during the loading and unloading process while the
operators extend or retract the legs.
A correctly-positioned safety hook allows the transporter to be loaded
into the ambulance and unloaded from the ambulance without
interference, but will catch the safety bars during every loading and
unloading sequence.
Refer to document 234-3782 for placement and installation of the
safety hook.
7.2 Placing Equipment on the Panel
The panels are designed to hold equipment required for use with a
transport incubator. The slots in the panel allow restraint straps to be
attached to secure equipment.
Plan the placement of the equipment before using the transporter with
an infant. Have your bio-med technician (or the controlling EMS) direct
the placement and securing of the equipment on the panels.
Confirm that equipment placed on the panels
●
Is secured to the panel.
●
Does not interfere with transporter operation.
●
Does not unbalance the transporter.
