WARNING:
Evaluate patients for entrapment risk according to facility protocol and monitor patients appropriately. Ensure that all
siderails are fully latched when in the raised position. Failure to do either of these could result in serious injury or death.
NOTE:
Siderails are intended to be a reminder to the patient of the unit’s edges, not a patient-restraining device. When
appropriate, Amico recommends that medical personnel determine the proper methods necessary to ensure a patient
remains safely in the stretcher.
Mattresses
!
WARNING: Only mattresses that meet Amico specifications and recommendations should be used. Failure to do
so could reduce the effectiveness of the safety features and systems incorporated into the stretcher. Personal injury or
equipment damage could occur.
Push Handles
The push handles located at the head and foot ends of the stretcher are used to
move the stretcher.
Lift up the push handle and rotate it into the push position. The handle should
automatically lock into place.
Lower the push handle by pulling up on the locking pin and rotating it to the
stored position.
Brake/Neutral

TRAUMA and it is equipped with a central brake system.

WARNING:
Unless transporting the patient, always set the brakes when the stretcher is
occupied. Reconfirm that the brakes are set before any patient transfer. Failure
to do so may result in injury or equipment damage.
To set the brakes, press one of the back brake pedals. All four casters, will lock.
To release the brakes, press the pedal in the neutral position.
