4. Deployment of Kangoofix
The Germa Kangoofix consists of an inner harness, warming cover and Skull-
cap, and a 5-
point “outer-harness” safety restraint. The inner harness, warming
cover and Skull cap are all made of a material called Breath-o-pren Oeko-Tex
100, which is a multi-layer grey and red breathable fabric, clinically tested and
proven to cause no reaction to the ba
by’s skin. A special hook fastening system
sewn into the material allows fixing of the inner harness and warming cover
around the child. The 5-point fixation restraint system is made from grey
polyester webbing, with approved crash-tested metal and plastic child seat
buckles.
When deploying Kangoofix, first ensure that the outer harness is attached to the trolley harness.
With the parent laid on the trolley with the backrest at a comfortable angle and the parent correctly and safely restrained
using the trolley 4-point harness and leg restraints, start to attach the Kangoofix outer-harness.
The 5 grey Kangoofix outer-harness straps should be attached to the trolley harness by feeding
each individual Kangoofix strap around the trolley harness strap and then back through the loop at
the end of the Kangoofix strap, and then pulled tight. A Kangoofix strap should be attached to each
of the trolley 4-point harness straps; around the shoulder straps each side of the patient and onto
the waist straps each side
of the patient’s waist, with the fifth Kangoofix strap attached to the
trolley upper-leg strap.
The Kangoofix inner harness and warming cover should then be wrapped around the baby, firstly ensuring that the
head/back support is correctly located inside the holding pouch of the inner-harness.
Wrap the inner harness around the baby, with the red side of the inner-
harness against the baby’s skin, the grey part
facing outwards, using the circular hook fixation pads to attach the inner harness together at the front. Start by fixing the
inner
harness around the baby’s legs, then around the shoulders. The inner harness should be deployed and adjusted
such that it is firmly held around the baby with no slack, but not too tight.
Make sure that the baby is correctly support by the neck/back support plate in the inner
harness.
