TEXTILE MATERIAL RESTRAINTS
Check along the entire length of the device that:
- All textile parts and stitching on the device are free from
cuts, abrasion, frayed borders, wear, corrosion, burns and
signs of chemical substances; also check that the stitching is
not cut, frayed or loose.
- Check the devices made of textile material by feeling them
with your ngers along their entire length.
- Ensure the integrity of the stitching protective cover (no
movements or detachments from its terminal).
- Before use, also check that the maintenance sheets of each
device are correctly updated.
During each use:
- Regularly check the proper functioning of the product and
the optimal connection and arrangement of the other system
components.
- Pay attention to the effects of moisture and frost, as these
could compromise the tightness of the device.
- Beware of contact with sharp edges and, if necessary,
recheck the device after use.
If the textile material is found to be intact during the
preventive inspections, it is considered to have a life of 10
years from rst use without any ofcial Ferno overhaul,
after which it is recommended that XT undergo a
complete overhaul and product certication by Ferno
personnel once a year.
The product must be disposed of:
- After 10 years, if it includes plastic or textile components.
- After a strong effort.
- If the result of the checks is not satisfactory and one has
doubts about its reliability.

7.1.1 XT PLUS Maintenance
INSPECTION BEFORE USE
To ensure optimal use of the device, it is important to
keep all the components in good conditions and to remove
all traces of dirt, debris and body uids. The XT must be
inspected before and after each use, and must be cleaned
after use. When not in use, it must be stored in a dry, indoor
environment and inspected at least once a month. If wear or
damage is found during the inspection, the device must be
put out of service.
PREVENTIVE INSPECTION
The XT is a medical device requiring regular maintenance.
Preventive inspections are the responsibility of the user. It
is recommended to use the checklist in this manual and to
report the check in the appropriate registration table.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
It is recommended that the XT undergo a complete product
overhaul and certication by Ferno personnel once a year
from the 10th year after purchase.
EXTRAORDINARY MAINTENANCE
Whenever, during the inspection, user nds cracks on the
board, deep scratches or obvious signs of wear on the textile
material, it is recommended to contact Ferno's Technical
Support Department to have the XT completely overhauled
and certied by Ferno's authorised personnel. See chapter
Technical Support.
If the XT undergoes particularly heavy use, if it is used
in an environment contaminated by hazardous chemical
substances or for carrying heavy loads, maintenance should
preferably be carried out on a more frequent basis.
