Summary of Safety Precautions Carefully read and strictly follow the warnings and cautions listed on this page. Service only by qualified personnel.
WARNING •

•
Always apply the brakes when a patient is getting on or off the stretcher. Push on the stretcher to ensure that the brakes are securely locked. Always engage the brakes unless the stretcher is being moved. Injury could result if the stretcher moves while a patient is getting on or off the stretcher. Patients should be discouraged from sitting directly on the ends of the stretcher. Excessive weight could cause the litter surface to tip up, possibly causing patient injury. Leave the stretcher height in the lowest position when the patient is left unattended. Leaving the stretcher height in a raised position could increase the chance of patient falls and injury. Make sure that the brakes are completely released before attempting to move the unit. Attempting to move the unit with the brakes engaged could result in injury to the user and/or patient. After raising the siderails, pull firmly on the siderail to ensure that it is securely locked into the fully raised position. Siderails are not intended to serve as a patient restraint device to keep patients from exiting the unit. Siderails are intended to keep a patient from inadvertently rolling off the unit. It is the responsibility of the attending medical personnel to determine the degree of restraint necessary to ensure that a patient will remain in place. Failure to utilize the siderails properly could result in patient injury. When lowering the siderail to the collapsed position, keep extremities of patients and staff away from the siderail spindles or injury could occur. During patient transfer, keep patient and operator extremities away from collapsed siderails or injury could occur. Operation of the pneumatic fowler is a manual procedure. Use caution when raising the fowler while a patient is on the stretcher. Use proper lifting techniques and get additional assistance, if necessary. Failure to use proper lifting techniques could cause injury to the operator. Keep hands/fingers clear of the area around the fowler release handle and the fowler frame when lowering the fowler. Injury could result if care is not taken when lowering the fowler. The weight of the patient’s head is resting on the head piece and must be supported by the operator when the latches are released and the head piece is being positioned. Failure to adequately support the head piece while positioning the head could result in patient injury. Do not reach between the side of the head extension and the articulating head piece to pull the release handle. Finger injury could result. To avoid possible pinch points when adjusting the head piece, keep your fingers away from the jointed areas. When using the transfer board to transfer a patient from one patient support platform (for example, bed, stretcher, gurney, operating table) to another, always lock the brakes on both patient support platforms. Make sure that the transfer board is placed securely on the surface of the patient support platforms. The patient support platforms and surfaces must be at the same height before the patient is transferred. If the stretcher is equipped with the optional foot end push handles, use caution while the foot extension/defibrillator tray is installed to avoid pinching your fingers. To avoid the risk of injury to the patient or user or damage to the I.V. pole while transporting the stretcher, make sure that the I.V. caddy is securely tightened on the I.V. pole. Disinfect the mattress between patients. Failure to do so could result in cross-contamination and infection. Some disinfectants may cause damage to the product if used improperly. If the products described below are used to disinfect the mattress, measures must be taken to ensure the entire surface is wiped with a damp cloth soaked in clean water and thoroughly dried following disinfection. The cover can be damaged when exposed to such disinfectants beyond the manufacturers’ recommendations. Failure to follow these directions when using these types of disinfectants may void this product warranty. The mattress cover must be completely dry before storage or adding linens. Failure to remove excess disinfectant could cause degradation of the cover material.

Do not modify this stretcher. Modifying the unit can cause unpredictable operation resulting in injury to the patient or operator. Modifying the unit will also void its warranty. To avoid damage, remove any equipment that may be in the way before raising or lowering the litter height. Do not raise the unit (hydraulics on base) with a patient lift under the stretcher. To avoid injury or damage to the equipment, do not allow the siderail to lower on its own. The weight capacity of the base hood is 60 lbs. Do not sit or stand on the base hood. Injury or damage to the equipment could occur. Do not step on the base hood. Do not use the cutout for the oxygen bottle holder on the base hood for the storage of oxygen bottles or patient belongings. If the stretcher is equipped with the optional foot end I.V. pole, the I.V. pole must be in the raised position when the foot extension/defibrillator tray is installed. If the I.V. pole is not raised, the foot extension will not function properly and injury could occur. To avoid damage, do not put items weighing more than 30 lbs. on the defibrillator tray/foot extender. Do not use the defibrillator tray/foot extender as a push/pull device because equipment damage could occur. Do not use the footboard/chartholder as a push/pull device because equipment damage could occur. Always store the I.V. caddy when not in use to avoid damaging it when the unit is moved. To avoid damage, do not put items weighing more than 30 lbs. on the serving tray. Do not use the serving tray as a push/pull device because equipment damage could occur. To avoid damage, the safe working load of the two-stage permanently attached I.V. pole is 40 lb. To avoid damage while transporting the stretcher, verify that the I.V. pole is at a low enough height to allow it to safely pass through door openings and under light fixtures. Do not use the I.V. pole as a push/pull device because equipment damage could occur. To avoid damage, the weight of the I.V. bags should not exceed 12 lb. while the weight of any one item attached to each stage of the three-stage permanently attached I.V. pole should not exceed 9.3 lb. The maximum PSI level for the drape support/oxygen tubing is 20 PSI (1.38 Bars/140 KPA). To avoid damage, do not put items weighing more than 40 lbs. in the upright oxygen bottle holder. Do not use the upright oxygen bottle holder as a push/pull device because equipment damage could occur. Before returning the unit to service after cleaning, ensure that the unit is functioning properly by verifying that all labels are intact, raise/lower the stretcher height, brake/steer pedal locks properly in both positions, latch/unlatch the siderails, raise/lower the fowler and gatch, and check all components for proper lubrication. Some cleaning products are corrosive in nature and may cause damage to the product if used improperly. If the products suggested above are used to clean Stryker patient handling equipment, measures must be taken to ensure that the stretcher is wiped with a damp cloth soaked in clean water and thoroughly dried following cleaning. Failure to properly rinse and dry the stretcher will leave a corrosive residue on the surface of the stretcher, possibly causing premature corrosion of critical components. Failure to follow the above directions when using these types of cleaners may void this product’s warranty. Frequent or prolonged exposure to higher concentration disinfectant solutions may prematurely age the cover fabric. The use of accelerated hydrogen peroxides or quaternaries containing glycol ethers may damage the cover.
NOTE • •
Clean the base hood storage area regularly. The bottom of the brake pads should be cleaned regularly to prevent wax or floor remnant buildup.
