Summary of Safety Precautions

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

WARNING

• Ensure proper hand placement on hand grips. Hands should be clear of red safety bar pivots while loading and unloading the cot or whenever changing height position of the cot with two or more operators.

• Improper usage of the cot can cause injury to the patient or operator. Operate the cot only as described in this manual.

• Do not modify the cot or any components of the cot. Modifying the product can cause unpredictable operation resulting in injury to the patient or operator. Modifying the product also voids its warranty (see page 155).

• It is the responsibility of the cot operator to ensure that the cot being used in the Stryker Cot Fastener system meets the installation specifications listed on page 18. Injury may result if a non-compatible cot is used in the Stryker Cot Fastener system.

• Have the vehicle safety hook installed by a certified mechanic. Improper safety hook installation can cause injury to the patient or operator and/or damage to the cot.

• Failure to install the safety hook can cause injury to the patient or operator. Install and use the safety hook as described on page 19.

• The face of the safety hook that engages the safety bar should be located at least 3-3/4” from the leading edge of the door sill. After installation, verify that the cot legs lock into the load position without contacting the vehicle bumper.

• To avoid injury, verify that the safety bar has engaged the safety hook before removing the cot from the patient compartment.

• Verify that the safety hook always engages the cot safety bar regardless of how the cot is unloaded from the vehicle or injury to the patient or operator and/or damage to the cot may occur.

• The cot must have at least 5/8” of clearance between the vehicle bumper and the cot to disengage the safety bar when unloading the cot from the vehicle. Verify that the cot legs lock into the load position before disengaging the safety bar from the safety hook. Failure to properly lock the cot height into position can cause injury to the patient or operator and/or damage to the cot.

• Before placing the cot into service, confirm that the cot load height is set correctly for your vehicle.

• Practice changing height positions and loading the cot until operation of the product is fully understood. Improper

use can cause injury.

• Do not allow untrained assistants to assist in the operation of the cot. Untrained technicians/assistants can cause injury to the patient or themselves.

• Do not ride on the base of the cot. Damage to the product could occur, resulting in injury to the patient or operator.

• Transporting the cot sideways can cause the cot to tip, resulting in possible damage to the product and/or injury to the

patient or operator. Transporting the cot in a lowered position, head or foot end first, minimizes the potential of a cot tip.

• Grasping the cot improperly can cause injury. Keep hands, fingers and feet away from moving parts. To avoid injury, use extreme caution when placing your hands and feet near the base tubes while raising and lowering the cot.

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

• Never leave a patient unattended on the cot or injury could result. Hold the cot securely while a patient is on the product.

• Never apply the optional wheel locks while a patient is on the cot. Tipping could occur if the cot is moved while the wheel lock is applied, resulting in injury to the patient or operator and/or damage to the cot.

• Siderails are not intended to serve as a patient restraint device. See page 40 for proper restraint strap usage. Failure to use the restraint straps properly could result in patient injury.

• High obstacles such as curbing, steps or rough terrain can cause the cot to tip, possibly causing injury to the patient or operator.

• If the cot is equipped with the optional kickstand, make sure that the kickstand remains in the retracted position and does not engage during transport.

12 6086-009-001 REV B www.stryker.com

Summary of Safety Precautions

WARNING

• Transporting the cot in lower positions reduces the potential of a cot tip. If possible, obtain additional assistance or take an alternate route.

• When operating the side release handle, keep hands away from the foot end release handle to avoid injury.

• If lowering the cot to the lowest position (position 1), remove your foot from the base tube or injury could result.

• Power-LOAD is designed to be compatible with the 6085/6086 Performance-PRO XT, 6500/6506 Power-PRO XT,

and 6510/6516 Power-PRO IT cots with the Power-LOAD option only. In certain situations, you can use PowerLOAD as a standard antler for most X-frame cots, but a rail clamp assembly is required for all cots without the Power-LOAD option.

• It is the responsibility of the cot operator to ensure that the cot being used in the Stryker Model 6390 Power-LOAD system is a Power-LOAD compatible cot. Injury may result if a non-compatible cot is used in the Stryker Model 6390 Power-LOAD system.

• Two operators must be present when the cot is occupied.

• Operators must be able to lift the total weight of the patient, cot and any items on the cot.

• The higher an operator must lift the cot, the more difficult it becomes to hold the weight. An operator may need

help loading the cot if he/she is too short or if the patient is too heavy to lift safely. The operator must be able to lift the cot high enough for the cot legs to unfold completely and lock when the cot is unloaded. A shorter operator needs to raise their arms higher to enable the undercarriage to unfold.

• There must be a safety hook properly installed in the vehicle so that the bumper does not interfere with the front legs of the base frame.

• The one person loading and unloading procedures are for use only with an empty cot. Do not use the procedures when loading/unloading a patient. Injury to the patient or operator could result.

• Do not pull or lift on the safety bar when unloading the cot. Damage to the safety bar could result and injury to the patient or operator could occur.

• To avoid injury, always verify that the head section is locked into place prior to operating the cot.

• Be sure that the undercarriage has engaged and is locked before removing the loading wheels from the patient

compartment floor of the vehicle. An unlocked undercarriage will not support the cot and injury to the patient or operator could result.

• Siderails are not intended to serve as a patient restraint device. See page 40 for proper restraint strap usage. Failure to utilize the siderails properly could result in patient injury.

• Do not attempt to load the cot into the patient compartment with the head section retracted. Loading the cot with the head section retracted may cause the product to tip or not engage properly in the cot fastener, possibly causing injury to the patient or operator and/or damage to the product.

• Never install or use wheel locks on a cot with excessively worn wheels. Installing or using wheel locks on wheels with less than a 6” diameter could compromise the holding ability of the wheel lock, resulting in injury to the patient or operator and/or damage to the cot or other equipment.

• Do not attach restraints to the base tubes, cross tubes, or fowler skin. Improper restraint attachment could result in damage to the cot further resulting in injury to the patient or operator.

• Stryker recommends a two person operation when using the kickstand.

• Make sure that the patient weight is centered on the cot before using the kickstand.

• Engage the kickstand with your foot only.

• Lower cot height prior to engaging kickstand for increased stability.

• Make sure that the kickstand remains in the retracted position and does not engage during transport.

• Do not use the kickstand as a brake.

• Do not engage kickstand on a sloped surface.

• If the cot is equipped with the optional retractable head section oxygen bottle holder, use caution while the oxygen

bottle holder is installed to avoid pinching your fingers between the fowler bracket and the oxygen bottle.

• To avoid accidental release of the Pedi-Mate® and possible injury to the infant, ensure that the buckle is located away from obstructions on the cot or accessories.

• When the optional head end storage flat is being used, ensure that it does not interfere with the operation of the retractable head section, safety bar and safety hook. Injury to the patient or operator could result.

Summary of Safety Precautions

WARNING

• When cleaning, use any appropriate personal safety equipment (goggles, respirator, etc.) to avoid the risk of inhaling contagion. Use of power washing equipment can aerate contamination collected during the use of the cot.

• 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 ensure that the cots are wiped with clean water and thoroughly dried following cleaning. Failure to properly rinse and dry the cots leaves a corrosive residue on the surface of the cots, possibly causing premature corrosion of critical components.

• Failure to properly clean or dispose of contaminated mattress or cot components increases the risk of exposure to bloodborne pathogens and may cause injury to the patient or the operator.

CAUTION

• Set the cot load height to the proper stop height prior to operation.

• Installation of the safety hook should be done by a certified mechanic familiar with ambulance vehicle construction.

Consult the vehicle manufacturer before installing the safety hook and be sure that the installation of the safety hook does not damage or interfere with the brake lines, oxygen lines, fuel lines, fuel tank or electrical wiring of the vehicle.

• Before operating the cot, clear any obstacles that may interfere and cause injury to the operator or patient.

• Do not allow the cot undercarriage to drop unassisted (commonly known as a “hot drop”) when removing the cot

from the vehicle. Repeated hot dropping causes premature wear or damage to the cot.

• Wheel locks are only intended to help prevent the cot from rolling while unattended. Wheel locks may not provide sufficient resistance on all surfaces or under loads.

• Ensure that the restraints are not entangled in the base frame when raising and lowering the cot.

• The weight of the equipment in the base storage net (if equipped) must not exceed 20 lb (9 kg).

• Be careful when retracting the base to avoid damaging items stored in the base storage net.

• To avoid damage to the equipment hook, the weight of the accessories or equipment must not exceed 35 lb

(15. 9 kg).

• To avoid damage to the I.V. pole, the weight of the I.V. bags or equipment must not exceed 40 lb (18 kg).

• To avoid damage to the oxygen bottle holder (if equipped), the weight of the equipment must not exceed 40 lb (18

kg).

• Do not use two head end oxygen bottle holders at the same time.

• Do not store items under the cot mattress. Storing items under the mattress can interfere with the operation of

the cot.

• The weight of the equipment in the pocketed backrest storage pouch (if equipped) must not exceed 20 lb (9 kg).

• The weight of the equipment in the head end storage flat (if equipped) must not exceed 40 lb (18 kg).

• DO NOT STEAM CLEAN OR ULTRASONICALLY CLEAN THE UNIT.

• Maximum water temperature should not exceed 180°F/82°C.

• Maximum water pressure should not exceed 1500 psi/130.5 bar. If a hand held wand is being used to wash the

unit, the pressure nozzle must be kept a minimum of 24 inches (61 cm) from the unit.

• Allow cot to air dry.

• Towel dry all casters and interface points.

• Failure to comply with these instructions may invalidate any/all warranties.

Vehicle Safety Hook Selection

Note: The Vehicle Safety Hook Selection and Installation instructions on page 19 through page 22 are intended for

cots that you will NOT use with Power-LOAD. For Model 6086 cots with the Power-LOAD option, see the Power-LOAD Operations/Maintenance Manual for installation instructions. Power-LOAD ships and is installed with its own safety hook, thus no additional hook is needed.

The vehicle safety hook is a device that ships with the cot. The cot safety bar and vehicle safety hook are designed to keep the cot from being accidentally removed from the vehicle and to provide increased operator assurance and confidence when loading and unloading. The 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 safety hooks that are ordered and shipped with your cot. These safety hook types are designed to 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.

Long Safety Hook 6060-036-018

Consider the following information when selecting which safety hook is appropriate for your vehicle

configuration:

• Determine the location of the floor structure

J-Style Safety Hook 6092-036-018

support where there is adequate room to mount the safety hook.

• Ensure that the safety hook can be securely mounted into the back of the vehicle while providing adequate bumper clearance to allow the cot to be loaded and unloaded from the vehicle.

• Note the differences in vehicle design. Each safety hook provides a different mounting location option to maintain the appropriate distance between the

Figure 6: Safety Hook Types

face of the safety hook and the edge of the door sill.

Due to the differences in vehicle dimensions and the floor structure support locations, each safety hook requires a different mounting location. See “Vehicle Safety Hook Installation” to determine the correct positioning for safety hook installation.

Note: When replacing an existing safety hook with a new style, adjust the mounting location to maintain the proper position of the safety hook face.

Vehicle Safety Hook Installation

Note: These installation instructions are intended for cots that you will NOT use with Power-LOAD. For Model 6086

cots with the Power-LOAD option, see the Power-LOAD Operations/Maintenance Manual for installation instructions.

VEHICLE CONFIGURATION

According to federal regulations (reference KKK-A-1822), the bumper height of the vehicle shall be installed equidistant

± 5 cm (2 inches) from the vehicle floor to the ground level, which is defined as the vehicle deck height. The bumper

step shall have a minimum depth of 13 cm (5 inches) and a maximum depth of 25 cm (10 inches). If the bumper depth is greater than 18 cm (7 inches), then the bumper must be able to fold. Installation of the safety hook into any vehicle compliant with this federal specification provides adequate clearance for the cot base to lower to its fully extended position. The cot is compatible with all vehicle deck heights (see specifications for maximum load height) as long as the vehicle meets the federal specifications that are outlined in KKK-A-1822.

Note: These installation instructions are intended for cots that you will NOT use with Power-LOAD. For Model 6086

cots with the Power-LOAD option, see the Power-LOAD Operations/Maintenance Manual for installation instructions.

SIDE TO SIDE POSITIONING OF THE SAFETY HOOK

1. Remove the cot from the fastener and unload it from the vehicle.

2. While the cot is being removed, note the position of the load wheels and the safety bar.

3. Mark the center of the cot safety bar on the vehicle floor.

4. Verify that the position marked in Step 3 is where the safety bar engages the safety hook every time when unloading the cot in a variety of positions (all the way to the left and all the way to the right), regardless of cot position.

• If the cot safety bar does not engage the safety hook in any of these positions (left, center, or right), modify

the vehicle, not the cot or safety hook.

• If the cot safety bar engages the safety hook every time, install the safety hook.

INSTALLING THE SAFETY HOOK

1. Determine the correct safety hook front to back and side to side positioning, so the cot safety bar engages the safety hook every time.

2. Drill the holes for the screws.

3. Fasten the safety hook to the patient compartment floor and verify that the safety hook always engages the cot safety bar regardless of how the cot is unloaded from the vehicle.

WARNING

Adjusting Cot Load Height

Before placing the cot into service, confirm that the cot load height is set correctly for your vehicle. The cot load height can be adjusted to match the height of the vehicle deck. If the cot does not line up correctly, adjustments may need to be made to the cot load height.

WARNING

Before placing the cot into service, confirm that the cot load height is set correctly for your vehicle.

To check the load height of the Performance-PRO™ XT cot:

1. Roll the cot up to the loading area of your vehicle.

2. Compare the difference between the deck height of the vehicle and the load height of the cot.

3. Select HIGH, MID or LOW depending on the cot load height requirements (see Figure 12). For example:

• The HIGH marking on the rack is recommended for

vehicle deck heights above 32 inches.

• The MID marking on the rack is recommended for

vehicle deck heights between 30 and 32 inches.

• The LOW marking on the rack is recommended for

vehicle deck heights below 30 inches.

4. Verify that the safety hook always engages the cot safety bar, regardless of how the cot is unloaded from the vehicle. If the safety bar misses the safety hook, select the next lower height setting.

Operation Guide

OPERATING GUIDELINES

• Use the cot only as described in this manual.

• Read all labels and instructions on the cot before using the cot.

• Loading an occupied cot into a vehicle requires a minimum of two (2) trained operators. One or two operators

can lift from the foot end of the cot. Stryker recommends that both operators are at the foot end to reduce the load on each operator. If additional assistance is needed, see “Using Additional Assistance” on page 34.

• Do not adjust, roll or load the cot into a vehicle without advising the patient. Stay with the patient and control the cot at all times.

• The cot can be transported in any position. Stryker recommends that the operators transport the patient in the lowest comfortable position to maneuver the cot.

• Only use the wheel locks during patient transfer or without a patient on the cot.

• Do not leave wheel locks engaged while transporting the cot. Failure to do so may cause wheel damage.

• Always use the restraint straps.

• Use properly trained helpers, when necessary, to control the cot.

WARNING

• Improper usage of the cot can cause injury to the patient or operator. Operate the cot only as described in this manual.

• Practice changing height positions and loading the cot until operation of the product is fully understood. Improper use can cause injury.

• Do not allow untrained assistants to assist in the operation of the cot. Untrained technicians/assistants can cause injury to the patient or themselves.

• Do not ride on the base of the cot. Damage to the product could occur, resulting in injury to the patient or operator.

• Transporting the cot sideways can cause the cot to tip, resulting in possible damage to the product and/or injury to the

patient or operator. Transporting the cot in a lowered position, head or foot end first, minimizes the potential of a cot tip.

CAUTION

Before operating the cot, clear any obstacles that may interfere and cause injury to the operator or patient.

PROPER LIFTING TECHNIQUES

When lifting the cot and patient, there are five basic guidelines to help you avoid injury:

• Keep your hands close to your body.

• Keep your back straight.

• Coordinate your movements with your partner and lift with your legs.

• Avoid twisting.

• Always operate the cot as described in this manual.

Operation Guide

TRANSFERRING THE PATIENT TO THE COT

To transfer the patient to the cot:

1. Roll the cot to the patient.

2. Place the cot beside the patient and raise or lower the cot to the level of the patient.

3. Lower the siderails and open the restraint straps.

4. Transfer the patient to the cot using accepted EMS procedures.

5. Use all the restraint straps to secure the patient to the cot (see page 40).

6. Adjust the backrest and foot rest as necessary.

Note: When transferring larger patients, use of the Transfer Flat (6005-001-001) is recommended.

WARNING

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

• Never leave a patient unattended on the cot or injury could result. Hold the cot securely while a patient is on the product.

• Siderails are not intended to serve as a patient restraint device. See page 40 for proper restraint strap usage. Failure to use the restraint straps properly could result in patient injury.

ROLLING THE COT

When rolling the cot:

• Make sure that all of the restraint straps are securely buckled around the patient (see page 40).

• Position an operator at the foot end and one at the head end of the cot at all times when rolling the cot with a

patient on it.

• Approach door sills and/or other low obstacles squarely and lift each set of wheels over the obstacle separately.

WARNING

• High obstacles such as curbing, steps or rough terrain can cause the cot to tip, possibly causing injury to the patient or operator.

• If the cot is equipped with the optional kickstand, make sure that the kickstand remains in the retracted position and does not engage during transport.

• Transporting the cot in lower positions reduces the potential of a cot tip. If possible, obtain additional assistance or take an alternate route.

ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT OF THE COT WITH TWO OPERATORS

WARNING

• When operating the side release handle, keep hands away from the foot end release handle to avoid injury.

You can raise or lower an unoccupied cot with one operator. If a patient is on the cot, a minimum of two (2) trained

operators (one located at each end of the cot) are required to raise or lower the of the cot.

To raise or lower the cot from the ends:

1. The operator at the foot end of the cot squeezes the release handle (A or B) while a secure grip is maintained on the lifting bars (see Figure 13).

2. Both operators must lift the cot until the weight is off the latching mechanism (approximately 1/4”).

3. The operator at the foot end squeezes and holds the release handle and both operators then raise or lower the cot together. The handle is released when the desired position is reached. Both operators should maintain a secure grip on the litter frame until the latching mechanism is securely locked into position.

To raise or lower the cot from the sides:

1. Check the cot to determine if the side release handle is on the patient left or right side.

2. The operator on the patient’s right or left (depending on the location of the release handle) reaches the release handle at the midpoint of the litter (C). Both operators must lift the cot until the weight is off the latching mechanism (approximately 1/4”) (see Figure 13).

3. The operator at the patient’s right or left (depending on the location of the release handle) squeezes and holds the release handle. Both operators then raise or lower the cot together. The handle is released when the desired position is reached. Both operators should maintain a secure grip on the litter frame until the latching mechanism is securely locked into position.

LOADING THE COT INTO A VEHICLE WITH TWO OPERATORS

WARNING

• Two operators must be present when the cot is occupied.

• Operators must be able to lift the total weight of the patient, cot and any items on the cot.

• The higher an operator must lift the cot, the more difficult it becomes to hold the weight. An operator may need help loading the cot if he/she is too short or if the patient is too heavy to lift safely. The operator must be able to lift the cot high enough for the cot legs to unfold completely and lock when the cot is unloaded. A shorter operator needs to raise their arms higher to enable the undercarriage to unfold.

• There must be a safety hook properly installed in the vehicle so that the bumper does not interfere with the front legs of the base frame. (See page 20 for safety hook installation instructions.)

• Failure to install the safety hook can cause injury to the patient or operator. Install and use the safety hook as described on page 20.

USING RESTRAINT STRAPS (CONTINUED)

CAUTION

Ensure that the restraints are not entangled in the base frame when raising and lowering the cot.

When the cot is put into service, open the restraints and place them at either side of the cot until the patient is positioned on the cot mattress. Lengthen the restraints, buckle them around the patient and shorten them until the required tightness is achieved.

• To open the restraint, press the red button (A) on the front of the buckle “receiver”. This releases the buckle latch plate (B) which can then be pulled out of the receiver (Figure 42).

• To close the restraint, push the latch plate into the receiver until a “click” is heard. When fastening the chest restraint ensure that the latch plate passes through both links (C) on the shoulder strap (Figure 42).

• To lengthen the restraint, grasp the buckle latch plate, turn it at an angle to the webbing, then pull it out (Figure

43). A hemmed tab at the end of the webbing prevents the latch plate from coming off of the strap.

• To shorten the restraint, grasp the hemmed tab and pull the webbing back through the latch plate until the required tightness is achieved (Figure 44).

Figure 42: Buckling the Safety Restraints

Whenever a restraint is buckled on a patient, verify that the latch plate is fully engaged and any extra webbing is not tangled in the cot or hanging loose.

Figure 43: Lengthening the Safety Restraint

Figure 44: Shortening the Safety Restraint

Inspect the restraints at least once a month (more frequently if used heavily). Inspection should include checking for a bent or broken receiver or latch plate, torn or frayed webbing, etc. Any restraint showing wear or not operating properly must be replaced immediately.

Cleaning

In general, when used in those concentrations recommended by the manufacturer, either phenolic type or quaternary (excluding Virex® TB) type disinfectants can be used. Iodophor type disinfectants are not recommended for use because staining may result.

Suggested cleaners for the cot surfaces and restraint straps:

• Quaternary Cleaners (active ingredient - ammonium chloride)

• Phenolic Cleaners (active ingredient - o-phenylphenol)

• Chlorinated Bleach Solution (5.25% - less than 1 part bleach to 100 parts water)

Note: Do not immerse the restraint strap metal buckle components in water. Rinse with clean water. Allow to air dry.

Avoid over saturation and ensure that the product does not stay wet longer than the chemical manufacturer’s guidelines for proper disinfecting.

WARNING

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 EMS equipment, measures must be taken to ensure the cots are wiped with clean water and thoroughly dried following cleaning. Failure to properly rinse and dry the cots will leave a corrosive residue on the surface of the cots, possibly causing premature corrosion of critical components.

Note: Failure to follow the above directions when using these types of cleaners may void this product’s warranty (see

page 155).

REMOVAL OF IODINE COMPOUNDS

Use a solution of 1/2 Tablespoon Sodium Thiosulfate in a pint of warm water to clean the stained area. Clean as soon as possible after staining occurs. If stains are not immediately removed, allow solution to soak or stand on the surface. Rinse surfaces which have been exposed to the solution in clear water before returning unit to service.

WARNING

Failure to properly clean or dispose of contaminated mattress or cot components will increase the risk of exposure to bloodborne pathogens and may cause injury to the patient or the operator.
