Rollbord ™ Instructions for Use
(EN) Users Guide
The Samarit Rollbord™ is highly efficient, requiring only 15% of the patient's body weight to
either push or pull the patient from one lateral surface to the other. One staff member can easily
move an average sized patient with minimal effort.
!
CAUTION: Do not become over-confident and attempt to move patients above your capacity.
With large or touch-sensitive patients, request assistance and use the Two Person Pull method.
Always use your proper body position for any patient transfer.
!
CAUTION: Do not pull Rollbord™ by the handles!!
Picture 1: The Rollbord™ weighs only 6 lbs. (3
kg) and can be carried on the shoulder with the
convenient adjustable strap leaving both hands
free for stretcher operation.
Picture 2: For easier transfer, ensure that surfaces
are leveled or that the receiving surface is slightly
lower. Place the Rollbord™ and position next to
patient.
Picture 3: Always ensure that brakes are
operational and are locked on both vehicles.
Picture 4: Roll the patient towards you and move
the Rollbord™ to his back. For tall patients, either
place a pillow under shoulder/head and under
patient's lower legs to elevate heels.
Picture 5: Ease patient back onto Rollbord™ so
that about 1/3 of patient is on the Rollbord™. For
wider surfaces, place less of the patient onto the
Rollbord™; narrower surfaces more.
„One Person Push Method"
Picture 6.1: Place hands under patient's hip and
shoulder. Pushing there positions the centre of
patient's weight onto the Rollbord™.
„Two Person Pull Method"
Picture 6.2: Place pull sheet using well-known
method under the patient and raise both ends.
The patient is then carefully pulled by two persons
over the Rollbord™ (preferable method for heavy
patients).
Picture 7: Once centered, roll patient towards you
and slide Rollbord™ from under the patient with
one hand. Pull away side under patient's leg first.
Remove Rollbord™ and disinfect, if necessary.
