Summary of safety precautions
Before operating the Cub® Pediatric Stretcher, it is important to read and understand all information in this manual.
Carefully read and strictly follow the safety precautions listed on this page. The safety precautions are repeated
throughout the manual, where applicable.
WARNING
• Hospital staff should ensure a safe environment to the patient by verifying that the stretcher components (rails,
access doors, accessories, etc.) are in good condition and properly secured before placing a patient on the
stretcher.
• Always apply the brakes when a patient is removed from or placed on the stretcher. Always engage the brakes
unless the stretcher is being moved. Push on the stretcher to ensure the brakes are securely locked. Injury could
result if a stretcher moves while a patient is placed or removed from the stretcher.
• When brakes are applied on a fixed height stretcher, be sure all four casters are locked to ensure a complete
immobilization of the stretcher.
• To reduce risk of injury, ensure the litter is horizontal and in the lowest position with the rails fully raised when
moving the pediatric stretcher with a patient on it.
• The rails must always remain in the highest position and the litter in the lowest position unless the patient is being
tended. Never leave a patient unattended when the rails are lowered.
• Make sure that proper policies are applied to ensure the patient’s safety when an IV pole and/or an oxygen bottle
is used. The patient should not be able to reach nor manipulate them.
• To prevent possible fire hazard when using an oxygen tent on a stretcher equipped with the scale system (optional),
do not activate the scale. Also ensure that the rails are outside the tent.
• To avoid injury to the patient and/or the user, ensure the rails are in their highest position before lowering the litter
or placing it in one of the Trendelenburg positions, and that all equipment and people are removed from the area
below and around the litter.
• To avoid falls and injury, verify the rails and access doors are properly locked into position before leaving a patient
unattended or after having moved a rail or an access door.
• To avoid injury to the patient, ensure the patient’s extremities are clear of all moving parts before operating a rail.
Always ensure the rail is securely locked after moving it.
• To avoid falls and injury, ensure that both access door open/close indicators (located on both lock release knobs)
show green when the door is closed and locked into position.
• Avoid using an access door or a rail handle as push/pull devices or damage to the unit or injury to the patient and/
or user may occur.
• To avoid injury to the patient and/or user, do not attempt to move the stretcher directly sideways with the steer
mode engaged. The fifth steer wheel cannot pivot.
• To avoid injury to the patient, verify the patient is safely positioned on the litter before lowering the siderail or
operating the Fowler or foot section.
• To avoid injury to the patient when raising or lowering the manual Fowler or the foot section, verify the support arm
is securely engaged in the arm stoppers before releasing the Fowler or foot section.
• When patient is able to climb out the stretcher or reaches the height of 35 in. (90 cm), the stretcher shall no longer
be used.
• Do not place cords, straps or similar items that could become wound around the patient’s neck in or near the
stretcher.
• Do not leave objects or toys in the stretcher.
• Do not use a water mattress with this stretcher.
• To avoid injury to the patient, any mattress used on this stretcher must be at least 57 1/2 in. (146.05 cm) long by
29 3/8 in. (74.6 cm) wide and not less than 3 in. (7.6 cm) or more than 6 in. (15.3 cm) thick.
• Failure to properly clean the mattress, or dispose of it if defective, may increase the risk of exposure to pathogenic
substances and may bring about diseases to the patient and/or the user.
• Do not use the stretcher if any components are missing or broken. Contact your dealer or Stryker for replacement
parts. Use only replacement parts provided by Stryker.
• Maximum static weight capacity = 400 lb (181.4 kg).

Summary of safety precautions
English
CAUTION
• To avoid damage to the scale electronic components, do not lean on the accessory bracket housing the scale
module.
• Do not use a two or three stage fixed IV pole at the foot end of a stretcher equipped with the scale.
• The scale weighing zone is made up of all the upper part of the stretcher, including the safety end/siderails, the
accessory brackets, the drainage bag hooks, the chart and monitor holders (optional) located under the mattress
support. Ensure no external object is in contact with the stretcher during a weighing or when zeroing the scale.
• To maintain the scale accuracy, it is recommended to zero the scale at least once a week. Note that the patient
must be removed from the stretcher before zeroing the scale.
• Use only 1.5 VDC alkaline batteries. The use of batteries other than the one recommended may damage the scale
electronic components.
• Remove the batteries if the scale module or the stretcher is not used for long periods.
• Always store the IV Caddy when not in use to avoid damaging it when the stretcher is moved.
• The weight of the IV bags should not exceed 40 lb (18 kg).
• Do not install a two or three-stage fixed IV pole at the foot end of a stretcher equipped with the scale.
• Do not use the protective top as a push/pull device.
Note
• Throughout the manual, the words “right” and “left” refer to the right and left sides of a patient lying face up on
the stretcher.

Setup
It is important to check that all the stretcher components operate properly before it is put into service.
Some stretchers are equipped with one or both fixed endrails. Since stretchers are shipped with all four rails down,
a special document describes the procedure to permanently install a fixed endrail. This document is part of the kit
provided for the fixed endrail positioning and is to be found in a plastic envelop on the mattress as well as detailed in
the Maintenance Manual.
RAIL VERIFICATION (OPTIONAL)
Refer to pa g e 1-19
1. Side/endrail handles operate properly, handle triggers and rotational movement operates smoothly.
2. Side/endrails raise and lower smoothly, and lock in the 9", 14" and upper positions when raised or lowered.
3. Side/endrails automatically stop at the 9" position when lowered without interruption (handle kept rotated to the left
or right while lowering the rail) from upper positions. Rotating the handle to the left or right further lowers the rail
from the 9" position to its lowest position under the mattress surface.
NOTE
On some stretchers, the 9" double safety lock may not be present.

OPERATING THE SIDERAILS
WARNING
• To avoid injury, ensure the patient’s extremities are clear of all moving parts before operating a rail. Always ensure
the rail is securely locked after moving it.
• The rails must always remain in the highest position and the litter in the lowest position unless a patient is being
tended. Never leave a patient unattended when the rails are lowered.
• To avoid falls and injury, verify the rails and access doors are properly locked into position before leaving a patient
unattended or after having moved a rail or an access door.
NOTE
To ensure the rails are safely locked into position, verify that
the arrow pointers (B) are aligned.
• To raise a siderail/endrail, grasp the top bar or the handle
(A) and pull the rail up to the desired height. No turning of
the handle to any side is necessary. The rail will lock into
one of the three available positions: 9 in., 14 in. and 26 in.
A “click” will be heard as available locking positions are
crossed (see Figure 6).
• To lower a siderail/endrail, grasp the handle (A). Activate
the trigger, turn handle to the left or right and guide the
rail down to the desired height. Return the handle back to
vertical to lock the rail into desired position (see Figure 6).

English
NOTE
• For safety reasons, side/endrails automatically stop and
lock at the 9 in. position, even if the handle is kept turned
during the rail descent.
• On some stretchers, the double safety lock at 9 in. may not
be present.
OPERATING ACCESS DOORS (OPTIONAL)
WARNING
To avoid falls and injury, ensure the access door
open/close indicators (located on both release knobs)
show green when the door is closed and locked into
position.
• To open an access door, squeeze the two
release knobs (A) located on each access door
pivot bar and open the access door. The open/
close indicators (B) will show yellow (see Figure
7).
• To close an access door, return it back to the
closed position and it will automatically lock. The
open/close indicators (B) will show green. If one
of them remains yellow, it means that the door is
not completely closed; open and close the door
again (see Figure 7).
