General Information
Mobile IV Stands
Introduction
SSCI’s Mobile IV Stands feature uniquely-designed, weighted
bases to ensure excellent balance and rock-like stability. The
stainless steel hanger loops are balanced to hold IV bags securely
without tipping. The stands are made of Type 304 Stainless Steel
and the strong, durable, heli-arc welded joints are buffed and
polished for a finished, professional appearance.
The smooth-rolling, 2 in. (5.08 cm) diameter, non-marking casters
make it easy to move the stands from place to place throughout
your facility. Choose from models with two, four, or six IV hangers;
all are available in foot-operated and hand-operated styles. The
bases are 21 in. (53.34 cm) diameter overall.
The extendable sections of all stands adjust to any height from
the 61 in. to 101 in. (154.94 cm to 256.54 cm). Lift the upper
section of each foot-operated stand to raise it, and press the foot
pedal to lower it. On hand-operated models, a knob loosens and
tightens a ring collet to unlock, raise, lower, or lock the stand firmly
in place.

To raise the foot-operated IV stand, merely grasp the telescoping
portion of the stand and lift up (Figure 1). The stand adjusts to any
height from 61 in. to 101 in. (154.94 cm to 256.54 cm).
To lower the stand, grasp the telescoping portion of the stand and
press down on the foot release pedal (Figure 2). Gently lower the
stand to the desired height. If you do not hold the stand while you
release it, the telescoping section will slam down. The purpose of
the guard is to minimize the possibility of inadvertently touching the
release pedal and lowering the stand when not desired.

Care and Cleaning of Stainless Steel
Mobile IV Stands
Introduction
Cleaning and
Cleansers
Stainless steel is steel alloyed with chromium to make it highly
resistant to stain, rust, and corrosion. Note: This does NOT mean
that stainless steel will never rust or corrode. Science has not yet
developed a steel which is completely stainless or corrosion
PROOF.
The type of stainless steel and finish selected by SSCI for this
product is the best available for the intended use.
The basic rule of thumb is to use the mildest cleaning procedure that will
do the job effectively. Always rinse thoroughly with clear water and dry
completely. Frequent cleaning will prolong the service life of stainless
steel equipment and will help maintain a bright, pleasing appearance.
Ordinary deposits of waste and fluids can usually be removed with
soap and water. More stubborn deposits or tightly adhering debris
may require harder scrubbing and possibly the use of commercial
cleaning products acceptable for use on metal surfaces. When using
any cleaning agent, rub in the direction of the polish lines or “grain”
of the metal. For high luster finishes, clean soft cloths or pads should
be used. If especially rough cleaning is necessary, use “stainless
steel” wool, nylon, or plastic scrubbers. Test these scrubbers in an
inconspicuous area first to be sure they do not mar or scratch the
stainless steel finish.
Deodorizing Agents,
Disinfectants, and
Sanitizers
Form No. 702749 November, 2006
Minor scale build-up and some hard water spotting may be
removed by washing with vinegar, followed by a neutralizing
rinse with clear water and a thorough drying with a soft cloth.
For heavy deposits of scale, 5% oxalic acid (use warm), 5-15%
sulfamic acid, or 5-10% phosphoric acid may be used. Always
follow with a neutralizing rinse of clean water and a thorough
drying.
The large selection of brands and combinations of chemicals
available for deodorizing, disinfecting, and sanitizing is staggering.
Select one or more agents for use in your facility only after weighing
all the benefits claimed by each product. Often this choice is made
without adequate consideration of the effects these agents may
produce on equipment or furnishings.
9
Page 10
Owner’s Manual
CAUTION: Before selecting a chemical to employ in
your facility, review label statements regarding use
with metals (stainless steel). Always consult the
chemical supplier if there are any doubts.
Avoid prolonged use of chlorides (such as chlorine bleach),
bromides, iodides, and thiocyanates on stainless steel surfaces as
these chemicals will cause pitting, corrosion, and metal
discoloration. Allowing salty solutions to evaporate and dry on
stainless steel may also contribute to corrosive conditions.
In summary, select chemical deodorizers, disinfectants, and/or
sanitizers only after weighing all possible benefits and known
adverse effects.
Effect on Warranty
CAUTION: The warranty for this product is void if the
care and cleaning instructions provided in this
manual are not followed.

Caster Safety and Maintenance
Mobile IV Stands
Overview
Inspection
The wheel/caster assemblies on the Mobile IV Stands were
selected by SSCI for high durability and long life. These casters do
not include brakes. Users are responsible for the proper operation,
care, and maintenance of their equipment. Equipment can become
damaged and unsafe if abused or subjected to improper demands.
If your equipment is regularly maintained and never abused, you will
get the maximum safety and service from your casters.
Never overload the stand.
Do not drop heavy loads on the stand.
Do not use the stand at high speeds.
The above conditions can create severe impact and shock loads on
your stand and may result in caster, wheel, or equipment failure.
Equipment Frames and Fasteners
Periodically, turn the stand over and check the following:
Look for broken welds.
Tighten any loose nuts and bolts.
Look for frame distortion caused by overloads or impacts.
Distorted frames can lead to wheel failure by placing
disproportionate loads on one or two casters.
Make sure the casters are not bent and the mounting bolts
are securely fastened.
Casters
Check the swivel assembly on each caster for excessive play due to
wear. If the swivel does not turn freely, check for corrosion or dirt
binding the raceways. If a caster is not operating properly, clean it.
Wheels
Check each wheel for excessive or uneven tread wear, or badly
worn or “chunked out” rubber tires. Such conditions can cause
erratic steering, bumping, load shifting, and damage to floors. If a
wheel binds and no longer rolls freely, or if flat spots appear on the
tire, carefully inspect the wheel/caster assembly for damage or
accumulated foreign matter (dirt, string, hair, etc.).
