RHINO

Note:
To achieve the desired height, you may
use the lifting cushion without inflating all four
sections. Each inflated section must be fully
inflated, and sections must never be inflated/
deflated out of sequence.
Note:
To transfer a patient from the Rhino across
to another surface, a patient transfer board
should be considered based on an individual risk
assessment.
Emergency deflation for CPR:
•
If a patient is on an inflated Rhino and requires
CPR to be performed, the Rhino can be
deflated to the required height that is suitable
for the person performing CPR.
•
To deflate the Rhino for CPR, always ensure
you deflate the sections in order, from top to
bottom to maintain stability.
•
Push and turn
both
valves at the foot end of
the top section (fig.11) numbered 4 to the
DEFLATE position to release the air. (fig.12)
•
If height is still unsuitable, push and turn both
valves at the foot end of section 3 to release
air. Continue with remaining two sections in
sequence if required.
Note:
After emergency deflation, if re-inflation is
required to lift patient, remember to turn valves
to the INFLATE position before connecting the
pump. Open valves will prevent full inflation of the
sections.
