Summary of Safety Precautions Carefully read and strictly follow the warnings and cautions listed on these pages. Service only by qualified personnel.

WARNING • • •

• • • • • • • •

• • • • • • • • • •

• • •

• • •

Improper usage of the cot can cause injury to the patient or operator. Operate the cot only as described in this manual. Do not modify the cot or any components of the cot. Modifying the product can cause unpredictable operation resulting in injury to the patient or operator. Modifying the product also voids its warranty (see page 148). It is the responsibility of the cot operator to ensure that the cot being used in the Stryker Cot Fastener Systems meets the installation specifications listed on page 22. Injury may result if a non-compatible cot is used in the Stryker Fastener System. Do not attempt to operate the cot when it is loaded into a cot fastener. Entanglement in powered cot mechanisms can cause serious injury. Operate the cot only when all persons are clear of the mechanisms. Practice changing height positions and loading the cot until operation of the product is fully understood. Improper use can cause injury. Do not allow untrained assistants to assist in the operation of the cot. Untrained technicians/assistants can cause injury to the patient or themselves. Ensure proper hand placement on hand grips. Do not ride on the base of the cot. Damage to the product could occur, resulting in injury to the patient or operator. Transporting the cot sideways can cause the cot to tip, resulting in possible damage to the product and/or injury to the patient or operator. Transporting the cot in a lowered position, head or foot end first, minimizes the potential of a cot tip. Grasping the cot improperly can cause injury. Keep hands, fingers and feet away from moving parts. To avoid injury, use extreme caution when placing your hands and feet near the base tubes while raising and lowering the cot. Always use all restraint straps to secure the patient on the cot. An unrestrained patient may fall from the cot and be injured. Never leave a patient unattended on the cot or injury could result. Hold the cot securely while a patient is on the product. Never apply the wheel lock(s) while a patient is on the cot. Tipping could occur if the cot is moved while the wheel lock is applied, resulting in injury to the patient or operator and/or damage to the cot. Siderails are not intended to serve as a patient restraint device. See page 38 for proper restraint strap usage. Failure to utilize the siderails properly could result in patient injury. A minimum of two operators are required to transport a patient on the cot. In addition to the head and foot end, larger patients may require additional operators. Hydraulically raising or lowering the cot may temporarily affect electronic patient monitoring equipment. For best results, patient monitoring should be conducted when the cot is idle. High obstacles, such as curbing, steps or rough terrain, can cause the cot to tip, possibly causing injury to the patient or operator. Transporting the cot in lower positions reduces the potential of a cot tip. If possible, obtain additional assistance or take an alternate route. A lift gate stop which is not properly functioning can result in injury to the patient or operator; ensure that the cot is unable to roll back off of the lift before using the lift with a cot and patient. Verify the lift gate stop is maintained and functioning properly and ensure that the cot is secure at all times when on the tail lift. Whenever the weight of the cot and patient is off of the wheels, the cot will automatically enter the high speed retract mode if the retract (–) button is pressed. Once the weight is off of the ground, the operator(s) must support the load of the patient, cot and any accessories. Failure to support the load properly may cause injury to the patient or operator. To avoid risk of electric shock, never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the battery pack case is cracked or damaged, do not insert it into the charger. Return damaged battery packs to a service center for recycling. Do not remove the battery when the cot is activated. Avoid direct contact with a wet battery or battery enclosure. Contact may cause injury to the patient or operator. Always use all restraint straps to secure the patient on the cot. An unrestrained patient may fall from the cot and be injured.

Do not attach restraints to the base or cross tubes, improper restraint attachment could result in damage to the cot further resulting in injury to the patient or operator. Never install or use a wheel lock on a cot with excessively worn wheels. Installing or using a wheel lock on a wheel with less than a 6 in diameter could compromise the holding ability of the wheel lock, possibly resulting in injury to the patient or operator and/or damage to the cot or other equipment. Ensure that the push bar is properly locked into its mount to prevent the bar from coming out during use and possibly injuring the operator and/or patient. Do not lift the cot with the push bars. Lifting the cot by the push bars may result in failure of the push bar lock mechanism and may injure the operator and/or patient. When not in use, store the push bars in the base storage pouch that is provided with the push bar option. To avoid accidental release of the Pedi-Mate®, and possible injury to the infant, ensure that the restraint buckle is located away from obstructions on the cot or accessories. Use of power washing equipment can aerate contamination collected during the use of the cot. Use any appropriate personal safety equipment (goggles, respirator, etc.) to avoid the risk of inhaling contagion. SOME CLEANING PRODUCTS ARE CORROSIVE IN NATURE AND MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE PRODUCT IF USED IMPROPERLY. If the products described above are used to clean Stryker EMS equipment, measures must be taken to insure the cots are wiped with clean water and thoroughly dried following cleaning. Failure to properly rinse and dry the cots will leave a corrosive residue on the surface of the cots, possibly causing premature corrosion of critical components. Failure to properly clean or dispose of contaminated mattress or other cot components will increase the risk of bloodborne pathogens and may cause injury to the patient or operator. Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin causing serious injury. Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before disconnecting hydraulic or other lines. Tighten all connections before applying pressure. If an accident occurs, see a doctor immediately. Any fluid injected into the skin must be surgically removed within a few hours or gangrene may result. Doctors unfamiliar with this type of injury should reference a knowledgeable medical source. To avoid the risk of injury, do not use bare hands to check for hydraulic leaks. Medical electrical equipment requires special precautions regarding EMC and needs to be installed and put into service according to the EMC information provided on page 144 to prevent equipment malfunction. Portable and mobile RF communication equipment can affect Medical Electrical Equipment. Explosion Hazard - Do not use cot in presence of flammable anesthetics.

CAUTION • •

• • • • • • • • •

When charging a battery in an ambulance, locate the charger in an enclosed cabinet and out of patient reach during transport. The unit must be in its lowest position to properly engage the cot fastener (not included). To ensure that the cot is in the lowest position, press the retract (-) button until the cot stops moving down. This should be done before attempting to engage the cot into the cot fastener (not included). To reduce the risk of damage to the cot or cot fastener, do not attempt to activate the cot height activation while it is engaged in the cot fastener (not included). Before operating the cot, clear any obstacles that may interfere and cause injury to the operator or patient. Remove the battery if the cot is not going to be used for an extended period of time (more than 24 hours). Only use the battery and charger as specified. The cot is not for use with an AC adapter. Ensure that the battery is fully charged prior to placing into service. An uncharged or depleted battery may cause poor cot performance. Ensure that the restraints are not entangled in the base frame when raising and lowering the cot. Never operate the cot with the head section or foot section in an unlocked position. Wheel lock(s) are only intended to help prevent the cot from rolling while unattended and to aid in patient transfer. A wheel lock may not provide sufficient resistance on all surfaces or under loads.
