SSuummmmaarryy ooff ssaaffeettyy pprreeccaauuttiioonnss

Always read and strictly follow the warnings and cautions listed on this page. Service only by qualified personnel.

WWAARRNNIINNGG

• Install the cot fastener by qualified personnel only. Improper installation could result in injury to the patient or operator.

• Always make sure that all cots meet the installation specifications for the Stryker cot fastener system.

• Failure to install the vehicle safety hook may cause injury to the patient or operator.

• Always have a certified mechanic, familiar with ambulance vehicle construction, install the safety hook.

• Always make sure that the cot safety bar connects with the vehicle safety hook before you remove the cot from the vehicle patient compartment.

• Do not allow untrained assistants to assist in the operation of the product.

• Always follow proper hand placement on hand grips. Keep all hands clear of the red safety bar pivots when you load or unload the cot or change cot height position.

• Do not ride on the base of the cot.

• Do not transport the cot sideways to avoid the risk of tipping. Always transport the cot in a lowered position, head end or foot end first to minimize the risk of tipping.

• Always keep hands, fingers, and feet away from moving parts. Use caution when placing your hands and feet near the base tubes while you raise or lower the cot.

• Always use all restraint straps to secure the patient on the product. An unrestrained patient may fall from the product and be injured.

• Do not leave a patient unattended. Hold the product while a patient is on the product.

• Do not apply a wheel lock when a patient is on the product or when you move the product to avoid the risk of tipping.

• Do not use siderails as a patient restraint device.

• Always transport the cot at a lower height to reduce the risk of a cot tip. If possible, obtain additional assistance or take an alternate route.

• Always avoid high obstacles, such as curbing, steps, or rough terrain to avoid the risk of the product tipping over.

• Always keep hands away from the foot end release handle when you raise or lower the cot with the side release handle.

• Always remove your foot from the base tube when you are lowering the cot to the lowest position.

• Always use PPoowweerr--LLOOAADD with the 6085/6086 PPeerrffoorrmmaannccee--PPRROO XT, 6500/6506 PPoowweerr--PPRROO XT, and 6510/6516 PPoowweerr--PPRROO IT cots with the PPoowweerr--LLOOAADD option only. In certain situations, you can use PPoowweerr--LLOOAADD as a standard antler for most X-frame cots, but a rail clamp assembly is required for all cots without the PPoowweerr--LLOOAADD option.

• Always make sure that you use a PPoowweerr--LLOOAADD date of manufacture cot with the Stryker Model 6390 PPoowweerr--LLOOAADD system to avoid the risk of injury.

• Always support the load of the patient, cot, and accessories after the weight is off of the ground.

• Two operators must be present when a cot is occupied.

• Always make sure that the safety bar connects with the vehicle safety hook before you remove the cot from the vehicle patient compartment to avoid the risk of injury.

• Do not pull or lift on the cot safety bar when you unload the cot.

• Always lock the undercarriage before you remove the loading wheels from the vehicle patient compartment floor. An unlocked undercarriage will not support the cot and injury to the patient or operator could result.

• Always lock the head section into place before you operate the cot.

• Do not load the cot into a vehicle with the head section retracted when using a cot fastener. The cot may tip or not connect with the cot fastener.

• Do not install or apply a wheel lock on a product with worn wheels that are less than 6 in. diameter.

• Do not leave a patient or occupant unattended. Hold the product while a patient or occupant is on the product.

• Always use two people when using the kickstand.

• Always center the patient weight on the cot before you use the kickstand.

• Always apply the kickstand with your foot only.

• Always lower the cot height before you apply the kickstand for increased stability.

• Do not apply the kickstand during transport. Keep the kickstand in the retracted position.

• Do not use the kickstand as a brake.

EN 4 6086-209-001 Rev F.2

• Do not apply the kickstand on a sloped surface.

• Always use all restraint straps to secure the patient on the cot. An unrestrained patient may fall from the cot.

• Do not attach restraint straps to the base tubes or cross tubes.

• Always locate the buckle away from obstructions or accessories on the cot to avoid the risk of accidental release of PPeeddii--MMaattee® infant restraint system and injury to the infant.

• Do not pinch your fingers between the fowler bracket and the oxygen bottle if your cot is equipped with the optional retractable head section oxygen bottle holder.

• Do not allow the head end storage flat (if equipped) to interfere with the operation of the retractable head section, safety bar, or vehicle safety hook.

• Always use any appropriate personal protective equipment while power washing to avoid inhaling contagion. Power washing equipment may aerate contamination.

The Stryker cot fastener systems are compatible only with cots that conform to the installation specifications.

WWAARRNNIINNGG

• Install the cot fastener by qualified personnel only. Improper installation could result in injury to the patient or operator.

• Always make sure that all cots meet the installation specifications for the Stryker cot fastener system.

NNoottee -- You may need to adjust the rail clamp assembly to compensate for any variation in the cot retaining post position depending on the cot manufacturer and model number.

These instructions are intended for cots with antler style cot fastener systems. For crash-rated cot fasteners, see the appropriate Operations Manual for installation instructions.

SSeelleeccttiinngg tthhee vveehhiiccllee ssaaffeettyy hhooookk

The vehicle safety hook is a device that ships with the cot. The cot safety bar and vehicle safety hook keep the cot from being accidentally removed from the vehicle and provide increased operator assurance and confidence when loading and unloading.

NNoottee -- These instructions are intended for cots with antler style cot fastener systems. For crash-rated cot fasteners, see the appropriate Operations Manual for installation instructions. Crash-rated cot fasteners are shipped and installed with their own vehicle safety hook, thus no additional hook is needed.

The vehicle safety hook was designed for compatibility and proper operation when loading and unloading the cot from a vehicle that is compliant with Federal Regulation KKK-A-1822. Stryker offers three different types of vehicle safety hooks that are ordered and shipped with your cot. These vehicle safety hook types meet the needs of various emergency vehicle configurations, specifically the length and location of the floor structure support that is located in the rear of the vehicle.

To select which vehicle safety hook is appropriate for your vehicle configuration:

• Consider the location of the floor structure support where there is adequate room to mount the vehicle safety hook.

• Mount the vehicle safety hook into the back of the vehicle. Provide bumper clearance to allow the operators to load and unload the cot from the vehicle.

• Note the differences in vehicle design. Each vehicle safety hook provides a different mounting location option to maintain the appropriate distance between the face of the vehicle safety hook and the edge of the door sill.

Due to the differences in vehicle dimensions and the floor structure support locations, each vehicle safety hook allows for a different mounting location. Select the correct position for your vehicle safety hook installation.

• Positioning of the vehicle safety hook, front to back

• Positioning of the vehicle safety hook, side to side

NNoottee -- When you replace an existing vehicle safety hook with a new style, adjust the mounting location to maintain the proper position of the vehicle safety hook face.

• Always set the cot load height to the proper stop height before operation.

The cot is compatible with all vehicle deck heights that meet the Federal Specification for the Star-of-Life Ambulance KKKA-1822. See specifications for maximum load height.

According to Federal Specification for the Star-of-Life Ambulance KKK-A-1822:

• The rear of the ambulance shall be furnished with a sturdy, full-width, rear bumper, with step secured to the vehicle’s chassis frame.

• The tread of the step shall have a minimum depth of 5 in. (13 cm) and a maximum depth of 10 in. (25 cm).

• If the step protrudes more than 7 in. (18 cm) from the rear of the vehicle, a fold-up step shall be furnished.

According to federal regulations (reference KKK-A-1822), the bumper height of the vehicle shall be installed equidistant 2 in. (± 5 cm) from the vehicle floor to the ground level, which is defined as the vehicle deck height. Installation of the vehicle safety hook into any vehicle compliant with this federal specification provides adequate clearance for the cot base to lower to its fully extended position.

Open the restraint straps and place them at either side of the cot while you position the patient on the cot mattress. Lengthen the restraint straps, buckle them around the patient, and shorten them to tighten.

• To open the restraint strap, press the red button on the front of the buckle receiver. This allows you to release the buckle latch plate and pull it out of the receiver.

• To close the restraint strap, push the latch plate into the receiver until you hear a click.

• To lengthen the restraint strap, grasp the buckle latch plate, turn it at an angle to the webbing, then pull it out. A hemmed tab at the end of the webbing prevents the latch plate from coming off of the strap.

• To shorten the restraint strap, grasp the hemmed tab and pull the webbing back through the latch plate to tighten.

When you buckle a restraint strap around a patient, secure the latch plate and remove any loose webbing from the cot.

Inspect the restraint straps at least once a month (more if used often). Check for a bent or broken receiver or latch plate, or torn or frayed webbing. Replace any worn or inoperable restraint strap.
