XT Series Extrication Devices
Take care to remove any real obstacles (belts, objects located inside the passenger compartment that hinder the procedures) and
potential obstacles (weapons of all kinds, especially in the case of a casualty with altered mental state) (Figures 53 and 54).
If necessary, get help in this procedure.
Figure 53 - Releasing the safety belts
Before extracting the patient, check that no more urgent
stabilisation actions are necessary. Once the patient is
stabilised and/or their condition permits, proceed with
extrication.
In order to have the device immediately usable, it is
recommended that it be stowed in a “ready-to-use” state,
with the restraints fastened at the sides (Figures 55A and
55B) and the straps folded back on themselves and secured
with the supplied elastic and the chin strap stowed in the
bag provided.

WARNING
Check for massive haemorrhage in the limbs that
can be treated with a tourniquet directly in the
passenger compartment. Extrication, in this case,
would shift the focus to an incorrect priority.
Massive limb haemorrhage not treated with
tourniquet could lead to a sudden deterioration of
vital parameters with imminent danger to the life of
the casualty.
