Safety Tips and Guidelines

Before operating this stretcher, it is important to read and understand all information in this manual. Carefully

read and strictly follow the warnings listed on this page.

WARNING

Always apply the caster brakes when a patient is getting on or off the stretcher. Push on the stretcher to ensure 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.

Be sure the siderail latching mechanism is working properly at all times. If it is not, refer to your stretcher

maintenance manual for ”Siderail Latch Adjustment”.

When using the transfer board to transfer a patient, always lock the brakes on all stretchers, beds, etc. being

used and always be certain the transfer board is placed securely on the surface of the mating stretcher or

bed. The patient stretcher and the mating surface must be at the same height before the patient is transferred.

CAUTION

To avoid damage, remove any equipment that may be in the way before raising or lowering the litter height.

When lowering the siderail to the collapsed position, keep extremities of patients and staff away from the siderail spindles or injury could occur.

To avoid injury or damage to the equipment, do not allow the siderail to lower on its own.

When the transfer board is being used to transfer a patient, the support post (D) must be in the stored (down)

position. Damage to the support post will occur if it is pushed up against a stretcher, table, etc.

The push handles were designed for use while transporting the stretcher. Avoid using other parts of the

stretcher as push/pull devices because damage could occur.

If the pneumatic system is difficult to operate, refer to your Stretcher Maintenance Manual for ”Pneumatic

Fowler Adjustment”.

Keep hands/fingers clear of area between spine tubes and Fowler when lowering. Injury could result.

To avoid damage, the weight of the IV bags should not exceed 40 pounds.

To avoid damage while transporting the stretcher, verify the IV pole is at a low enough height to allow it to

safely pass through door openings and under light fixtures.

If the stretcher is equipped with the optional foot end IV pole, the IV pole must be in the raised position when

the foot extension/defibrillator tray is installed. If the IV pole is not raised, the foot extension will not function

properly and injury could occur.

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 damage do not put items weighing more than 30 pounds on the defibrillator tray or on the serving

tray.

The unit cannot be raised (hydraulics on base) with a patient lift under the stretcher.

The hood may not be used for stepping.

Note

Clean hood storage area regularly.

The bottom of the brake rings should be cleaned regularly to prevent wax and/or floor remnant buildup.

In general, when used in those concentrations recommended by the manufacturer, either phenolic type or

quaternary type disinfectants can be used. Iodophor type disinfectants are not recommended for use because staining may result. The following products have been tested and have been found not to have a harmful effect WHEN USED IN ACCORDANCE WITH MANUFACTURERS RECOMMENDED DILUTION.*

Quaternary Germicidal Disinfectants, used as directed, and/or Chlorine Bleach products, typically 5.25% Sodium Hypochlorite in dilutions ranging between 1 part bleach to 100 parts water, and 2 parts bleach

to 100 parts water are not considered mild detergents. These products are corrosive in nature and

may cause damage to your stretcher if used improperly. If these types of products are used to clean

Stryker patient handling equipment, measures must be taken to insure the stretchers are rinsed with clean

water and thoroughly dried following cleaning. Failure to properly rinse and dry the stretchers will leave a corrosive residue on the surface of the stretcher, possibly causing premature corrosion of critical components.

NOTE

Failure to follow the above directions when using these types of cleaners may void this product’s warranty.

REMOVAL OF IODINE COMPOUNDS

This solution may be used to remove iodine stains from mattress cover surfaces.

1. Use a solution of 1−2 tablespoons Sodium Thiosulfate in a pint of warm water to clean the stained area.

Clean as soon as possible after staining occurs. If stains are not immediately removed, allow solution to

soak or stand on the surface.

2. Rinse surfaces which have been exposed to the solution in clear water before returning bed to service.

WARNING

The siderail latches are preset at the factory, and do not normally need adjustment. If adjustment must be

done, it is important to follow the procedure below. If adjustment is not done properly, injury to the patient

or user could result.

1. Using a 1/8” hex Allen wrench, adjust the hex Allen screw located on the latch assembly opposite the

latch. Turning the screw clockwise will DECREASE the amount of ”play” in the latching mechanism.

Turning counterclockwise will INCREASE the amount.

NOTE

The amount of ”play” in the siderail, when in full up engaged position, should be approximately 1/8 to 3/16

inches.

CAUTION

Too much ”play” when the siderail is in the full up engaged position will give the siderail the appearance of

being unstable and could also cause premature wearing of the latch system.

Too little ”play” will obstruct the latch and keep it from engaging completely in the full up position, which may

result in damage to the latch and/or injury to the patient or user.
