Frequently asked questions
What is the weight of the NAJO Lite Board?
The Ferno NAJO Lite Board is engineered to be the lightest backboard in its class, weighing only 14.5 lb (6.35 kg). This featherlight design significantly reduces rescuer fatigue and aids in easy handling and transport, even while supporting patient loads up to 450 lb.
Is the Ferno NAJO Lite Board suitable for water rescue?
Yes, the Ferno NAJO Lite Board is buoyant in water, making it suitable for water rescue scenarios.
What is the board's reliable maximum load limit?
The Ferno NAJO Lite Board is engineered for high-capacity patient support while remaining exceptionally lightweight. Its key specifications are:
- Maximum Load Limit: The board reliably supports up to 450 lb (204 kg).
- Board Weight: Despite its robust capacity, the unit weighs only 14.5 lb (6.35 kg).
This excellent strength-to-weight ratio ensures both patient security and easier handling for emergency personnel.
Is the high-density polyethylene material easy to clean?
Yes, the Ferno NAJO Lite Board is made from high-density polyethylene plastic designed specifically for high-stress emergency environments. This construction ensures superior hygiene and ease of maintenance:
- Impervious Surface: The material is non-porous and resistant, making it impervious to fluids and contaminants.
- Easy Decontamination: It is engineered to be easily cleaned of body fluids and contaminants, ensuring rapid turnaround time.
- Durable Build: The strong plastic construction ensures the board maintains its integrity and hygienic properties over rigorous, continuous use.
What colors and pin options are available?
The Ferno NAJO Lite Board offers several options for customization, focusing on high visibility and strap security.
The board is available with the following configurations:
- Colors: You can choose between high-visibility Orange or Yellow.
- Pin Options: The board is available with either 0 pins (for systems that do not require integrated pins) or 10 pins for secure strap attachment.
Is the NAJO Lite Board X-ray compatible?
Yes, the Ferno NAJO Lite Board is 100% X-ray translucent, ensuring full compatibility with diagnostic imaging.
This crucial feature, derived from its high-density polyethylene and foam-filled construction, allows medical personnel to conduct X-rays without needing to move or remove the patient from the backboard. This helps maintain uninterrupted spinal immobilization during critical trauma assessment.
What is the lightweight board's load capacity?
The Ferno NAJO Lite Board is designed to offer robust support while minimizing handling difficulty, making it one of the lightest backboards available with its capacity. Its construction from high-density, foam-filled polyethylene plastic ensures reliable performance.
- Weight: The board weighs only 14.5 lb (6.35 kg).
- Load Limit: Despite its light weight, it reliably supports patients up to 450 lb (204 kg), ensuring maximum security during immobilization and transport.
What design features aid effective patient handling?
The Ferno NAJO Lite Board is specifically engineered for easy handling and efficient rescue maneuvers, minimizing rescuer effort.
Key design features that enhance maneuverability and safety include:
- Exceptional Lightweight Construction: Weighing only 14.5 lb (6.35 kg), this is one of the lightest backboards available, making it highly manageable for rescuers, yet it reliably supports a robust load limit of up to 450 lb.
- Optimized Log-Rolling: The board features angled edges specifically designed to assist with easier and safer log-rolling maneuvers during patient positioning.
- Secure Grip: Two sets of handholds are molded into both ends of the board for secure lifting, carrying, and transfer.
- Streamlined Transport: One end of the board is tapered to simplify movement and storage in tight spaces.
- Water Rescue Ready: The durable, foam-filled construction ensures the board is inherently buoyant, making it reliable for use in aquatic rescue environments.
Does the Ferno NAJO Lite Board have angled edges for log-rolling?
The Ferno NAJO Lite Board has angled edges to facilitate easy log-rolling, which aids in patient handling and spinal alignment.
Does the NAJO Lite Board use foam-filled construction?
Yes, the Ferno NAJO Lite Board is built for lightweight strength and operational durability.
The construction features a solid, foam-filled core encased in high-density polyethylene plastic. This combination provides several crucial advantages for emergency situations:
- Exceptional Strength: Despite weighing only 14.5 lb (6.35 kg), the board reliably supports a load limit of up to 450 lb (204 kg).
- Buoyant for Water Rescue: The foam-filled design makes the board buoyant and suitable for aquatic emergency and rescue scenarios.
- Hygienic and Easy to Clean: The high-density polyethylene surface is non-porous, allowing for simple cleaning and decontamination from body fluids and contaminants.
- X-ray Compatibility: The material is 100% safe for X-ray use.
