An unattended patient can be injured. Stay with the

patient at all times.

Secure and snug all straps. Unsecured or loose straps

may allow movement and result in injury or death of the

patient.

4.3 Positioning the Pedi-Mate®PLUS

1. Remove any restraints attached to the cot.

2. Raise the cot backrest and lock in place at an angle between 15

and 45 degrees. This will keep the patient’s shoulders higher than

the pelvis and maintain the proper center of gravity.

3. Unroll the Pedi-Mate®PLUS and spread it at on the cot mattress

with all straps extended.

4. Center the blanket left to right on the mattress.

5. Position the blanket so that the base of the blanket, where

patient will be seated, is at the joint of the cot (Figure 1). The black

backrest strap will be in the area where you expect the patient’s

shoulders to rest.

6. Run the ends of the backrest strap around the cot backrest until

they meet in the back, then fasten the buckle. Leave some slack in

the strap for nal adjustment.

7. Position the grey and black oating strap system a the point

where the patient’s chest is expected to rest.

8. Run the ends of the grey and black oating strap system around

the cot backrest until they meet on the side, then fasten the buckle

(Figure 2). Leave some slack in the strap for nal adjustment

4.4 Securing the Pedi-Mate®PLUS

1. Place the patient on the Pedi-Mate®PLUS. If the black backrest

strap is not at the patient’s shoulder level, adjust the blanket

position.

2. With the blanket properly positioned, tighten the backrest

strap by pulling very rmly on the free end of the strap until the

mattress is compressed.

3. Fasten a main frame strap by threading the tang end downward

between the cot main frame and the mattress next to the head-

end sidearm casting.

4. Wrap the strap around the cot main frame and fasten the buckle

(Figure 3). Leave a little slack in the strap for nal adjustment.

5. Repeat with the other main-frame strap.

6. Tighten each main frame strap by holding onto the buckle with

one hand and pulling rmly on the free end of the strap.

Note:To loosen a main-frame strap, unfasten it, then grasp the tang, and

pull outward. Refasten the buckle.

system around the patient’s chest and fasten under the shoulder

straps. Snug the chest strap by pulling the free end, leaving

enough slack to permit normal breathing.

3. Lift a shoulder strap over one shoulder of the patient. Place

patient's arm through the strap, then lock the buckle half into the

central buckle (Figure 4).

4. Repeat with the other shoulder strap.

chest clip (Figure 5) and slide the chest clip up to rest on top of

the black chest strap.
