XT Series Extrication Devices
Adopt the safety position with the patient in water, leaving the back free for the subsequent positioning of the XT Floating
(Figure 125).
Position the XT Floating under the patient's back (Figure 126).
6.4.3 “Ready-to-use” conguration
Before proceeding with rescue manoeuvres in the water,
ensure that the XT Floating is set in the “Ready-to-use”
conguration:
• Unfasten the buckles of all restraints.
• Ensure that the triangular head immobiliser restraints
are sufciently loose and that the chin strap is properly
stowed in relevant bag.
• Place the breast oats on the back of the board, tipping
them on the head end.
WARNING
Prepare the board straps so that they do not
interfere with this operation.
For example, tie the straps on the back of the board
so they can be extracted when the patient is in place.
If the red and yellow restraints are positioned with
the male and female buckles reversed, it is possible
to attach them together so that they remain at the
sides of the device and thus the board remains free
and ready to be inserted behind the patient's back
(See box “Possible variant on restraint application”,
in the chapter on restraint assembly).
