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
• This stretcher is equipped with a hospital grade plug for protection against electric shock hazard. It must be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. Grounding reliability can be achieved only when a hospital grade receptacle is used.
• 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.
• Patients should be discouraged from sitting directly on the ends of the stretcher. Excessive weight could cause the litter surface to tip up, possibly causing patient injury.
• Leave the stretcher height in the lowest position when the patient is left unattended. Leaving the stretcher height in a raised position could increase the chance of patient falls and injury.
• Make sure that the brakes are completely released before attempting to move the unit. Attempting to move the unit with the brakes engaged could result in injury to the user and/or patient.
• After raising the siderails, pull firmly on the siderail to ensure that 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 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.
• Powered stretcher mechanisms can cause serious injury. Operate stretcher only with persons clear of mechanisms.
• 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.
• To avoid the risk of injury, ensure that the gatch prop rod is fully raised and securely placed into position.
• Use caution when operating the gatch while a patient is on the stretcher. Powered stretcher mechanisms can

These instructions are intended to provide recommended cleaning methods for Model 1115 Prime Series Stretchers.
These units are designed to be power-washable. The unit may show some signs of oxidation or discoloration from continuous washing. However, no degradation of the stretcher’s performance characteristics or functionality will occur due to power washing as long as the proper procedures are followed.
RECOMMENDED CLEANING METHOD
• Follow the cleaning solution manufacturer’s dilution recommendations exactly.
• Stryker Medical recommends the standard hospital surgical cart washer for power washing.
• Do not replace the mattress on the stretcher until the unit is completely dry.
RECOMMENDED CART WASHING CLEANING METHOD
Stryker Medical recommends using a standard hospital surgical cart washer to power wash the stretcher a maximum of once per year for the life of the unit.
To clean the unit with a cart washer:
1. Remove the mattress prior to washing the unit; do not wash the mattress with the stretcher.
2. Position the fowler at 45 degrees, position the gatch to the full down position, place the unit in full reverse Trendelenburg (foot end down), raise the siderails, and place the I.V. poles and push handles in the up position.
3. Clean the unit with a maximum water temperature of 180 0F (82 0C), maximum air dry temperature (cart washers) is 200 0F (93 0C) for 8 minutes, and maximum water pressure − 1500 psi/103.5 bar.
Note: If a handheld wand is being used to wash the unit, the pressure nozzle must be kept a minimum of 24 inches/.61m from the unit. In addition, the same water temperatures and stretcher configurations apply as for the cart washer.
CAUTION
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, and raise/lower the fowler and gatch.

Cleaning
STRETCHER CLEANING (CONTINUED)
RECOMMENDED CLEANERS
Suggested cleaners for stretcher surfaces: Quaternary Cleaners (active ingredient - ammonium chloride) Phenolic Cleaners (active ingredient - o-phenylphenol) Chlorinated Bleach Solution (1 part bleach (5.25% sodium hypochlorite) to 100 parts water which equals 520 ppm available chlorine (40 mL of a 5.25% bleach solution per 4000 mL water)
Avoid over saturation and ensure that the product does not stay wet longer than recommended by the chemical manufacturer’s guidelines for proper disinfecting.
CAUTION
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.
Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean the display enclosure for the optional scale system. Do not allow cleaning solutions or other fluids to pool on the display unit. Wipe dry all surfaces after spills or cleaning.
MATTRESS CLEANING
These instructions are intended to provide recommended cleaning methods for stretcher mattresses.
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 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. For chlorine bleach, use 1 part bleach (5.25% sodium hypochlorite) to 100 parts water which equals 520 ppm available chlorine (40 mL of a 5.25% bleach solution per 4000 mL water).

MATTRESS CLEANING (CONTINUED)
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):
Vinyl Mattress Cover Polyurethane Mattress Cover
Recommended Phenolics Quaternary Acceptable Quaternary, Chlorine Bleach (1:100) Chlorine Bleach (1:100) Not Recommended Quat/Isopropyl Phenolics
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”
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
Velcro To clean and disinfect, 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 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 are not recommended and may void this product’s warranty.
REMOVAL OF IODINE STAINS
1. Make a solution of 1−2 tablespoons Sodium Thiosulfate in a pint of warm water and use it to wipe the stained area. 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.
2. Rinse surfaces which have been exposed to the solution with clear water before returning mattress to service.
Note: Failure to follow the above directions when using these types of cleaners may void this product’s warranty.
