Product description
The Stryker Model 6550 P o w e r - P R O ™ TL cot is a powered ambulance cot that consists of a platform mounted on a
wheeled X-frame designed to support and transport a maximum weight of 700 lb (318 kg) in pre-hospital and hospital
environments.
The device is collapsible for use in emergency vehicles and the NiCd battery-powered hydraulic lift system allows operators
to raise and lower the cot using the powered controls. The cot is equipped with a manual back-up release handle to allow
the operation of cot functions in the event of power loss. The device is equipped with the following: retractable head and
foot sections to reduce foot print and allow the cot to maximize maneuverability in tight spaces, siderails, patient
securement straps, an adjustable pneumatic backrest and various optional accessories that assist with transport of the
patient. Maximum patient comfort is attainable with the three different litter positions of shock, flat leg, and optional knee
Gatch positioning.
The S M R T ™ power system consists of a S M R T charger and a S M R T Pak. The S M R T Pak powers the hydraulic lift
system of the Stryker powered ambulance cots.
Indications for use
The Stryker P o w e r - P R O TL is a powered wheeled stretcher that is intended to support and transport the entire body of a
traumatized, ambulatory or non-ambulatory human patient (includes infants and adults).
The battery-powered hydraulic lift system helps to reduce the effort required by the operator to raise and lower the cot. The
device is made to support patients in a supine (horizontal) or sitting position and to facilitate the transportation of associated
medical equipment (such as oxygen bottles, monitors, or pumps) in emergency or transport vehicles. This ambulance cot is
to be used in pre-hospital and hospital environments, in emergency and non-emergency applications. It is rated to a
maximum capacity of 700 lb (sum of the patient, mattress and accessory weight) and the intended operators of the device
are trained professionals, including emergency medical service and medical care center personnel, as well as medical first
responders.
P o w e r - P R O TL is not intended for extended stay or use as a hospital bed or in devices that modify air pressure, such as
hyperbaric chambers.

Operation
Checking the battery power level
Use the cot battery LED indictor to check the S M R T Pak power level. A charged S M R T Pak, in working condition, provides
up to 25 calls with a 250 pound patient (actual results may vary). The 24 VDC P o w e r - P R O system and the S M R T Pak is
rated for 2.4 amp-hours of electric energy.
W A R N I N G - Do not remove the battery when the cot is active.
C A U T I O N - Always charge the battery before you place the product into service. An uncharged or depleted battery may
cause poor product performance.
To check the battery power level, press the retract (-) button on the cot control switch to activate the cot battery LED
indicator. The cot battery LED indicator is located at the foot end control enclosure (shown as a battery symbol).
•
The LED is solid green when the battery has a full charge or has an adequate battery power charge.
N o t e - For best results, use the S M R T Pak until the cot battery LED indicator changes from solid green to flashing
amber.
•
The LED flashes amber when you need to charge or replace the battery
N o t e - The cot battery LED indicator does not have to flash amber before you remove and replace the S M R T Pak,
however, this is considered to be a best practice. You can remove and recharge the S M R T Pak at any time.
•
The LED is a solid amber to indicate a battery error.
Note
• Only use Stryker approved batteries.
• If equipped, the powered cot fastener automatically charges the S M R T Pak battery. Automatic charging occurs when
you lock the cot into the powered cot fastener (no cable or connectors required). The cot battery LED indicator flashes
green for a moment to signify that it is charging.
• Automatic charging will only occur with S M R T Pak batteries.
Checking the hour meter and error display
The hour meter indicates the amount of time (HHH.H hours) that the hydraulics were in use. The error display provides
error code information for troubleshooting.
Use the hour meter (A) (Figure 6) to determine the frequency of preventive maintenance. Use the error display (A) for
troubleshooting. The error display overrides the hour meter display when an error occurs.

Raising or lowering the cot manually with the manual override
In the event of loss of electrical function, you can use the cot manual override. This allows manual operation of the product
until the restoration of the electrical, powered functions. Use the red manual back-up release handle to raise or lower the
cot.
The manual back-up release handle is located is along the patient left side of the lower lift bar at the foot end of the cot.
To raise or lower the cot with the manual back-up release handle:
1. Both operators: Lift the cot during the raise or lower operation to support the weight of the cot at each end.
2. Operator 1 (foot end):
a. Pull the manual back-up release handle toward the lift bar.
b. While pulling the manual back-up release handle, raise or lower the cot to the desired position.
c. Release the handle to lock the cot into position
Note
• Both operators must lift the cot weight off of the wheels to use the manual extend or retract while a patient is on the cot.
• Activation of the manual back-up release handle may cause the cot to lower at a slow rate if less than 50 lb (23 kg) are
on the cot.
• Hydraulic fluid will become more viscous when the cot is used for extended periods in cold temperatures. When using
the manual back-up release function to extend the base, while unloading in cold weather conditions, hold the manual
back-up release handle for approximately one second after the cot wheels touch the ground to minimize sagging of the
litter as you remove the cot from the vehicle patient compartment.
