Deceleration Strap - Overview

Step 1

Place the shoulder strap around the back of the O.R.V.-Plus, even with the top of the shoulders (Figure 37).

Step 2

Bring the strap forward and over the shoulders (Figure 37). Note: Do not cross the straps on the front of the patient, they cross too high, and tend to choke the patient (Figure 38).

Step 3

Insert the female buckle into the corresponding male buckle (Figure 39).

Step 4

Tighten the straps to a “snug” fit. Do not overtighten (Figure 40).
