Introduction
SAFETY TIPS AND GUIDELINES
Before operating the Stryker LD304 Birthing Bed, it is important to read and understand all information in this
manual. Carefully read and strictly follow the safety guidelines listed on this page.
It is important that all users have been trained and educated on the inherent hazards associated with the
usage of electric beds.
To ensure its proper use and the safety of patients and staff, the LD304 Birthing Bed has been marked with
the following caution and warning labels:
DANGER Explosion Hazard − do not use in the presence of flammable anesthetics.
CAUTION This unit is equipped with a hospital grade attachment plug. Grounding reliability can be
achieved only when equipment is connected to equivalent receptacle.
CAUTION Electrical shock hazard. Do not remove cover panels. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel.
CAUTION Disconnect the power cord while using the manual hand crank.
WARNING
Powered bed mechanisms can cause serious injury. Operate bed only when all persons are clear of the
mechanisms.
To help reduce the number and severity of falls by patients, always leave the bed in the lowest position
when the patient is unattended.
When raising the siderails, listen for the ”click” that indicates the siderail has locked in the up position.
Pull firmly on the siderail to ensure it is locked into position. Siderails are not intended to be a patient
restraint device. It is the responsibility of attending medical personnel to determine the degree of restraint
and the siderail positioning necessary to ensure a patient will remain safely in bed. The intermediate position should be used only to assist the patient during ingress and egress from the bed.
Always apply the caster brakes when a patient is getting on or off the bed. Always keep the caster brakes
applied when a patient is on the bed (except during transport). Serious injury could result if the bed moves
while a patient is getting in or out of bed. After the brake pedal is applied, push on the bed to ensure the
brakes are locked. When moving the bed, put the pedal in the steer position. This locks the swivel motion
of the right foot end caster and makes the bed easier to move.
The instant CPR release is for emergency use only. Before activating the instant CPR, verify all persons
and equipment are away from the area below and around the Fowler (back rest) section of the bed or
serious personal injury or damage to the equipment could occur.
Prior to placing weight on the foot section, verify the locking bar has been lowered and locked. The foot
section locking bar is not designed for use as a grasping bar or other patient assist device.
When large spills occur in the area of the circuit boards, 110 volt cables and motors, immediately unplug
the bed power cord from the wall socket. Remove the patient from the bed and clean up the fluid. Have
maintenance completely check the bed. Fluids can have an affect on operational capabilities o f any electrical product. DO NOT put the bed back into service until it is completely dry and has been thoroughly
tested for safe operation.
To avoid entanglement, possibly resulting in frayed power cords and risk of electrical shock, wrap the bed
power cord around the roller bumpers at the head end of the bed during transport.
There is a possible fire hazard when using oxygen administering equipment of other than the nasal, mask,
or 1/2−bed−length tent type. Oxygen tent should not extend below the mattress support platform. Siderails must be kept outside of the oxygen tent.

OPTIONAL LUMBAR PILLOW AND PERINEAL WEDGE
Use the one−touch lumbar and seat buttons on the siderail to adjust the amount of support given to the
patient’s lumbar and seat areas if the bed is equipped with this option.
NOTE
Be sure the locating pins on the underside of the mattress are inserted in the holes in the metal seat support.
ADJUSTABLE SEAT DEPTH (OPTIONAL)
To accommodate patients of different sizes, the depth of the seat can be adjusted up to 4 inches (from 12.5
to 8.5 inches).
The Fowler (back section) must be raised to a minimum of 35 before the seat depth can be changed.
Once the Fowler (back section) is elevated to 35, the “SKOOCHER ACTIVE” LED on the outside of the
siderail will light and the seat depth can be changed. When the Fowler (back section) is lowered (either
electrically or using the emergency CPR release), the bed will automatically adjust the seat depth to 12.5”.
To reduce seat depth, depress the button on the siderail to move the Fowler (back section) toward
the foot end of the bed. Release the button when the desired seat depth is attained.
To increase seat depth, press the button to move the Fowler (back section) toward the head end
of the bed.

Bed Operation
REMOVING THE FOOT SECTION
Before removing the foot section, put the foot rests into position above the foot mattress and place the
patient’s feet in the contoured foot rests. To remove the foot section, squeeze the red release handle at
the foot end of the bed and raise the locking bar to the full−up position until it latches in place. The foot
section will now slide straight off the bed.
NOTE
If the foot section mattress is placed with the perineal edge toward the floor, it will stand independently.
To reinstall the foot section of the bed, set the foot mattress back on the bed and slide it straight toward
the main mattress. The locking bar can only be lowered when the foot section is in the “locking zone”,
approximately 2 inches from the main mattress. Squeeze the red release handle and lower the locking
bar into the locked position. As the locking bar is lowered, the gap between the mattresses will narrow
to ease installation. The LD304 foot section is designed to lift and support a 300 pound load.
OPERATING THE GLIDEAWAY FOOT RESTS/ATTACHABLE CALF SUPPORTS
Rotate the foot rest into position by pulling it out and up over the foot end mattress until it clicks into place.
Ensure the foot rest is securely locked in the upright position by grasping and attempting to move it.
After they are in position, the foot rests are adjustable six ways:
1. Abduc t/ Adduc t (pivot ing)
Pivoting in and out allows the clinician to position the patient’s feet and legs at the desired width. To
use the Abduct/Adduct feature, squeeze the gray release handles located at t he foot e n d of t he b ed. Pivot
the foot rest into the desired position and release the handle to lock the foot rest in that position.
NOTE
For emergency situations, the foot rests will pivot to 90 degrees. Hold onto the release handle and pivot
the foot rest out. Beyond 36 degrees the foot rest will not lock into position.
2. In/Out
The in/out motion allows the clinician to adjust the foot rests to comfortably accommodate patients of
different heights. Squeeze either of the two purple triggers at the opening on the foot upright and slide
the foot rest to the desired position. Release the trigger to lock the foot rest in position.
3. Up/Down
The foot end high/low adjustment allows the foot end of the bed to be positioned up to 7” below the top
of the seat mattress to accommodate different sized patients when the foot rests calf supports or l abor b ar
are being used. The foot end high/low adjustment is on the outside siderail cont rols (see page 10)
To switch between the foot rest and calf support positions, press the purple button at the bottom of
the gray footrest and rotate the foot rest to the desired position.
To store the footrests, press the purple button at the bottom of the gray foot support and position the foot
support as shown in the following diagram. The footrest cannot be stowed unless it’s in this position. To
ensure the most effective storage, the calf supports should be positioned inside the storage notch.

Cleaning
Hand wash all surfaces of the bed with warm water and mild detergent. DRY THOROUGHLY . D o not steam
clean or hose off the LD304 Birthing Bed. Do not immerse any part of the bed. Some of the internal parts
of the bed are electric and may be damaged by exposure to water.
Suggested cleaners for bed surfaces:
Quaternary Cleaners (active ingredient − ammonium chloride)
Phenolic Cleaners (active ingredient − o−phenyl phenyl)
Chlorinated Bleach Solution (5.25% − less than 1 part bleach to 100 parts water)
Avoid over−saturation and ensure the product does not stay wet longer than 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 described above are used to clean Stryker patient care
equipment, measures must be taken to insure the beds are wiped with clean water and thoroughly dried following cleaning. Failure to properly rinse and dry the beds will leave a corrosive residue on the surface of
the bed, 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.
For mattress cleaning and disinfecting, use warm water and a neutral detergent. A sodium hypochlorite solution can also be used for cleaning. If using a chlorinated bleach solution (5.25%) dilute to less than 2 parts
bleach to 100 parts water.
CAUTION
Mattresses must be completely dried after cleaning. Failure to thoroughly rinse and dry mattress surfaces
after cleaning may cause damage to the mattress and may void this product’s warranty.
