Introduction
This user guide is designed to assist you with the installation, operation and maintenance of the Technimount Safety
Arm System 500.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Technimount Safety Arm System 500 is a mounting solution for the stretcher that consists of a platform, mounted
on a top-down movable arm, installed with a clamp block on the stretcher frame. It is designed to support and
transport portable medical devices with a maximum weight of 35 lbs. in EMS and Critical Care Transport. The medical
device can be removed and stored safely when not in use. When the arm is used in emergency vehicles with a cot/
stretcher, it has two positions, upper locked position for transport and the lower position for loading/unloading of the
patient on the stretcher. The red safety pin must pulled to lower or raise the arm.
The Safety Arm System is equipped with a safety locking mechanism to secure the position of the arm during transport.
When not in use, the arm can be lowered for loading and unloading of the patient. The arm is also equipped with a
side locking pin with a finger ring handle in order to secure the arm into the clamp block attached to the stretcher. In
case of emergencies, the side locking pin can be removed in less than 5 seconds, by releasing or pulling back the fixed
safety locking mechanism. Once removed, raise the Safety Arm to disengage it from the clamp block.
Once combined with the surface base mounting system (Bracket Pro Serie®) it allows the medical crew to see and use
the unit during transport as well as during patient loading and unloading.
INTENDED USE OF THE PRODUCT
The Safety Arm System 500 is a secure mounting system for medical devices, designed to be installed on a stretcher
(Stryker Stretchers MX-PRO and Power-PRO models). The mount is intended to support and transport medical
equipment during a medical intervention of a traumatized, an ambulatory or non-ambulatory patient (including
infants, children and adults).
The upper position (or locked position) is designed to incorporate the use of the medical device while transporting
the patient and performing normal tasks by medical personnel. The lower position (or unlocked position) is designed
to assist with loading or unloading of the patient onto/from the stretcher, and it is not designed to be used during the
movement or transport of the stretcher.
Once the arm is in the upper position (or locked position), it facilitates the safe transport of associated medical
equipment (i.e. defibrillator and/or pumps) in emergency vehicles. The use of the Safety Arm System 500 was
developed to be used on an ambulance stretcher and intended for front-line responders who have received the
training necessary to operate the System in the field. The expected service life of the Safety Arm System is 5 years, or
more, depending upon use.
The Safety Arm System is intended for transport purposes only. It is not intended for more than one unit nor any
additional equipment attached to the arm.
Please read this user guide thoroughly before using this equipment. To ensure the safe operation of this equipment, it
is recommended to train staff prior to use.
