Text of the manual

The Olympic Circumstraint is intended for the tempo-

rary immobilization of infants during circumcision and other procedures, such as transfusions, minor surgery, x-rays, and placement of scalp IVs. Using the Circumstraint Required items: Circumstraint Arm straps, 8-in. (x2) Leg straps, 10-in. (x2) To install the straps: 1 Thread the arm straps through the upper slots. 2 Thread the leg straps in the lower slots. 3 Ensure that the Velcro® hooks are facing out, away from the infant’s skin. Figure 1 Installing the Velcro straps To immobilize the infant: 1 Place the infant in the tray. Position the straps as near as possible to the elbows and knees. 2 To fasten the straps: Gently press one end of the strap on the infant’s arm or leg, while bringing the opposite end of the strap across the top, then snugly fasten the Velcro® strap (Figure 2). Figure 2 Immobilizing the infant To position for circumcision: The infant’s perineum should rest against the raised platform between his legs (Figure 3). This elevates the genitalia for the procedure. For smaller infants, place a folded towel under the hips for additional elevation. Figure 3 Positioning for circumcision CAUTION Only use this device under the direct super- vision of a licensed medical practitioner. The infant should be under continuous observation when immobilized. Use of non-Olympic straps is not recom- mended and may lead to product failure. Damage resulting from using straps purchased from other manufacturers is not covered by the product warranty. Arm straps (x2) Leg straps (x2)
