surrounding equipment could occur if the unit collides with an obstacle.
Do not attempt to push the unit manually with the drive wheel engaged and the •“On/Drive - Off/Manual” switch in
the On position. The unit will be difficult to push and injury could result.
When lowering the siderail to the collapsed position, keep extremities of patients and staff away from the siderail •
spindles or injury could occur.
Keep hands/fingers clear of the area around the fowler release handles and the fowler frame when lowering. Injury •
could result if care is not taken when lowering the fowler.
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.
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.
Ensure the brakes are completely released prior to attempting to move the unit. Attempting to move the unit with the •
brakes actuated could result in injury to the user and/or patient.
If unanticipated motion occurs, unplug the power cord from the power source and rotate the “•On/Drive - Off/ Manual”
switch to the Off position.
Leave the stretcher litter in the lowest position when the patient is unattended. Leaving the litter in a raised position •
could increase the chance of patient falls and injury.
After raising the siderails, pull firmly on the siderail to ensure it is securely locked into the up position. Siderails are •
not intended to serve as a patient restraint device to keep patients from exiting the unit. Siderails are designed 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 a patient will remain in place. Failure to utilize the siderails
properly could result in patient injury.
Possible fire hazard when oxygen administering equipment of other than the nasal mask or 1/2 bed length tent type •
is used. Oxygen tent should not extend below mattress support level.

Cleaning
These instructions are intended to provide recommended cleaning methods for stretcher mattresses. They outline
proper care that will provide effective cleaning and disinfecting of mattresses between patients and prolong the life of
the mattress.
RECOMMENDED CLEANING METHOD
Hand-wash all surfaces of the mattress with warm water and mild detergent cleaner. •
Dry thoroughly. •
Apply disinfectant solution either by spray, solution or pre-impregnated wipes (do not soak mattress).•
Clean per hospital protocol for bed mattresses. •
Wipe up excess disinfectant.•
Rinse with clean water. •
Allow surface to dry.•
RECOMMENDED DISINFECTANTS
IMPORTANT: DILUTE ALL DISINFECTANTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH MANUFACTURER’S DIRECTIONS
When used in concentrations recommended by the manufacturer, diluted bleach, diluted phenolic, or diluted quaternary
germicidal disinfectants are recommended.
Chlorine Bleach, typically 5.25% Sodium hypochlorite, should be used at a dilution ratio of 1 part bleach to 10 parts
water.
RINSE OFF CORROSIVE CLEANERS
These products are NOT considered mild detergents. They are corrosive in nature and may cause damage to your
stretcher mattress if used improperly. Mattresses must be rinsed with clean water and dried thoroughly after using
corrosives such as quaternary, phenolic, or chlorine bleach. Failure to properly rinse and dry the mattress leaves a
corrosive residue on the surface, likely causing premature corrosion.
Iodophor type disinfectants are not recommended for use because staining may result.
The following table lists the recommended cleaner types for each mattress cover material (see definitions below):
Quaternary Cleaners: identified by ingredients containing the phrase “…yl ammonium chloride”
Quat/Isopropyl Cleaners: identified by a quaternary ingredient above plus isopropyl alcohol
Phenolic Cleaners: identified by ingredients containing the suffix “-phenol”
Chlorine Bleach: known generically as “Sodium hypochlorite”

Cleaning
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
Velcro: to clean and disinfect Velcro, saturate with disinfectant, rinse with water, and allow it to evaporate.
Soils or Stains: use neutral soaps and warm water. Do not use harsh cleansers, solvents or abrasive cleaners.
Hard-To-Clean Spots: use standard household/vinyl cleansers and a soft bristle brush on troublesome spots or stains.
Pre-soak heavy, dried-on soil.
Laundering is NOT RECOMMENDED: laundering may substantially decrease the useful life of the mattress.
DO NOT STEAM CLEAN, PRESSURE WASH, HOSE OFF OR ULTRASONICALLY CLEAN MATTRESSES.
Using these methods of cleaning is not recommended and may void this product’s warranty.
REMOVAL OF IODINE STAINS
Make a solution of 1−2 Tablespoons Sodium thiosulfate in a pint of warm water and use it to wipe the stained area. 1.
Clean the stain as soon as possible after it occurs. If stains are not immediately removed, allow solution to soak or
stand on the surface before wiping.
Rinse surfaces which have been exposed to the solution with clear water before returning mattress to service. 2.
NOTE
Failure to follow the above directions when using these types of cleaners may void this product’s warranty.
Preventative maintenance should be performed at a minimum of annually. A preventative maintenance program should
be established for all Stryker Medical equipment. Preventative maintenance may need to be performed more frequently
based on the usage level of the product.
