Summary of Safety Precautions
Carefully read and strictly follow the warnings and cautions listed on this page.
Service only by qualified personnel. See the maintenance manual for additional information.
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.
• 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 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.
• Physical restraints, even if properly secured, may result in serious harm to patients and caregivers. The use of
restraint straps may potentially cause entanglement, entrapment, physical injury, and/or death. Caution must be
used in affixing restraint straps to avoid potential injury to both patients and caregivers.
• Restraint straps and/or devices must be attached only at the identified attachment points of the unit. Failure to do
so may result in patient or caregiver injury. Do not attach restraints straps to the siderail.
• This unit accommodates the use of ankle, chest, wrist, and body restraints. The use of restraint straps is regulated
by state and federal restrictions. Users, caregivers, and/or practitioners should refer to the applicable state and
federal restrictions and the appropriate facility protocols before using any restraint strap and/or device.
CAUTION
• To avoid injury or damage to the equipment, do not allow the siderail to lower on its own.
• To avoid damage, the weight of the I.V. bags should not exceed 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.
• Do not use the footboard/chartholder as a push/pull device because equipment damage could occur.
• To avoid damage, do not put items weighing more than 40 lb. 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.
