Usage & Safety Guidelines

Installation & Application

1. Ensure the board is clean and free of debris before use.
2. Secure the patient using appropriate immobilization straps (sold separately) and head blocks to prevent lateral movement.
3. Utilize the hand holes to coordinate lifting with other responders to ensure a smooth, level transport.

Maintenance & Cleaning

Cleaning: Wipe down with a medical-grade disinfectant or mild soap and water after every use to prevent cross-contamination.
Inspection: Regularly inspect the board for cracks, deep scratches, or structural fatigue that could compromise its 500kg load-bearing integrity.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent long-term UV degradation of the polyethylene.
