3、mponents of the spine or spinal cord. Although this guide does not quantitatively addressperformance standards for this device, it does address the characteristics of the device(s) used toprovide support and immobilization of the components of the central nervous system for the patientsuspected of r
4、eceiving trauma to that body system.1. Scope1.1 This guide covers minimum standards for devices,designated here as spinal immobilization and extrication de-vice(s) (SPINED), commonly referred to as short spine board.The SPINED is designed to be used as the platform forimmobilization and extrication
5、of a patient with potential spineor spinal cord injury by emergency medical service personnel.1.2 This guide does not identify specific degrees of limita-tion of motion achieved by placement of a SPINED on apatient. Definitive requirements for immobilization of thespine, and, in particular, the degr
6、ee of limitation associatedwith the use of a SPINED, have not been established in themedical literature.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and
7、health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.
