Note 1 to entry: The term "main stretcher" is defined in EN 1865-1. SIST EN 1865-3:2012
EN 1865-3:2012 (E) 6 4 Requirements 4.1 General Heavy duty stretchers shall be operated and maintained according to the instructions of the manufacturer. Risks shall be reduced to an acceptable level by using risk management principles in accordance with EN ISO 14971 in normal and single fault condition. Heavy duty stretchers shall be manually or power operated; guarantee a safe and smooth operation; be free of sharp edges or deformation that could cause damage to persons or other equipment on board; have patient restraint-systems available; these restraint-systems shall have quick release systems; immobilize the patient, but at the same time shall permit treatment of the patient; ensure that the lying-sitting part is made of a strong material, which is bacterial resistant, fungal resistant, stain resistant, putrid resistant, easy to clean, washable and petrol-oil resistant. The heavy duty stretcher shall be designed to transport patients with a weight that exceeds the load capacity of the main stretcher in EN 1865-1. It shall be designed so that during loading and unloading the maximum burden on any personnel is half of the total weight of patient and stretcher and for the minimum possible time and in an optimal ergonomic position so that back bending is minimized. 4.2 Dimensions Dimensions shall be measured from the outermost edges. Stretcher part: length:
(1 9502050+−) mm To accommodate tall patients it may be possible to increase the length of the stretcher by a further 200 mm. width: (550 ± 20) mm It shall be possible to increase the width of the lying part to a minimum of 750 mm. height:
maximum 300 mm from loading holding assembly to unloaded lying part. This height dimension does not apply to stretchers with monoblock undercarriages. If a monoblock is not available, the stretcher shall be constructed such that it is detachable from the undercarriage. Where a stretcher support is used the measurement shall be taken from the top surface of the stretcher support to the lying part of the stretcher. Undercarriage: length and width of the frame of the undercarriage when located in the ambulance shall not exceed length and width of t
