USING RESTRAINT STRAPS (CONTINUED)
CAUTION
Ensure that the restraints are not entangled in the base frame when raising and lowering the cot .
When the cot is put into service, open the restraints and place them at either side of the cot until the patient is
positioned on the cot mattress . Lengthen the restraints, buckle them around the patient and shorten them until the
required tightness is achieved .
• To open the restraint, press the red button (A) on the front of the buckle "receiver" . This releases the buckle latch
plate (B) which can then be pulled out of the receiver (Figure 42) .
• To close the restraint, push the latch plate into the receiver until a "click" is heard . When fastening the chest
restraint ensure that the latch plate passes through both links (C) on the shoulder strap (Figure 42) .
• To lengthen the restraint, grasp the buckle latch plate, turn it at an angle to the webbing, then pull it out
(Figure 43) . A hemmed tab at the end of the webbing prevents the latch plate from coming off of the strap .
• To shorten the restraint, grasp the hemmed tab and pull the webbing back through the latch plate until the
required tightness is achieved (Figure 44) .
Figure 42: Buckling the Safety Restraints
Whenever a restraint is buckled on a patient, verify that the latch plate is fully engaged and any extra webbing is not
tangled in the cot or hanging loose .
Inspect the restraints at least once a month (more frequently if used heavily) . Inspection should include checking for a
bent or broken receiver or latch plate, torn or frayed webbing, etc . Any restraint showing wear or not operating properly
must be replaced immediately .
