BEAR AIR – INSTALLATION AND SAFETY
Purpose
The purpose of the BEAR device is to transport an extra-large (Bariatric) patient more safely and reliably in situations involving the use of an ambulance cot or aircraft skid. When used properly, the device will prevent the huge abdominal mass from shifting left and right, making the transport unstable, and it prevents cot tipping.
Materials Information
The BEAR Air is made from top quality high-grade materials that are chemical resistant and UV resistant, and that may be washed with soap and water. The mesh fabric is constructed of nylon that is covered with a non-porous vinyl coating and has a bursting strength of 539 psi. The 1 ½” frame straps have a tensile strength of 750 pounds, and the 2” abdominal straps have a tensile strength of 1,200 pounds.
Use Restrictions and Disclaimer
The BEAR AIR is designed as an accessory for transporting obese/bariatric patients on an ambulance cot or aircraft skid. The intended use is for professionals who are trained in patient transport, patient care, and any other medical training that involves monitoring the patient’s breathing, level of consciousness, and overall well-being. At no time should the device be used as a carrying device, a litter, or any other portable type of stretcher. The BEAR is meant to be attached to the frame/mattress plate of the ambulance cot or aircraft skid, and then the patient is positioned onto the device. The nylon mesh is comfortably secure around the patient’s abdominal mass to keep the abdominal mass from shifting laterally and thus prevents tipping of the cot.
