3、thecomponents 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
4、 of receiving trauma to that body system.1. Scope1.1 This guide establishes minimum standards for devicesdesignated here as adjunct cervical spine immobilization de-vice (ACSID); a lateral stabilizer for the head is an example ofthis type of device. The ACSID is designed to be used to assistin the i
