Set up the XT PRO in the chosen ready-to-use conguration
and position it next to the patient so that the QHI is aligned
with the patient's head (Figure 43).
WARNING
Before use, always check that the straps are
correctly placed (according to the manufacturer's
instructions), and comply with the operational
check and disinfection program.
WARNING
Ferno recommends, if possible, that an operator
immobilises the cervical spine manually during the
XT PRO positioning operations.
