Once properly sized and adjusted, the Ambu Mini Perfit ACE collar is applied to the patient to provide cervical spine immobilization.

• Ensure the patient's head and neck are in a neutral, in-line position before application.
• Carefully position the posterior shell of the collar behind the patient's neck.
• Bring the anterior portion of the collar around the patient's neck, ensuring the chin piece is correctly seated and the collar provides firm, but not restrictive, support.
• Secure the collar using the fastening mechanisms, ensuring a snug fit that prevents lateral sway and excessive flexion/extension.
• The flip chin piece can be moved to facilitate intubation or to allow for the removal of vomitus from the mouth without removing the entire collar.

Regularly monitor the patient for comfort and proper collar positioning during transport or care.

This section addresses common issues that may arise during the use of the Ambu Mini Perfit ACE cervical collar.

• Improper Fit or Discomfort: If the collar appears too loose, too tight, or causes patient discomfort, re-evaluate the sizing and adjustment. Ensure the correct size setting has been selected and the chin piece is properly positioned.
