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).

Cleaning

English

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):

Vinyl Mattress Cover Polyurethane Mattress Cover Recommended Phenolics Quaternary, Quat/Isopropyl Acceptable Quaternary, Chlorine Bleach (1:10) Chlorine Bleach (1:10) 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

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

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.
