OPERATING THE SIDERAILS
Raising and lowering the siderails safely is a two-handed operation. Use one hand to hold and position the siderail and
the other hand to operate the siderail latch.
To raise the siderails, pull up on the siderail (A) and raise it to the highest position until the latch (B) engages as shown
in Figure 16.
WARNING
• After raising the siderails, pull firmly on the siderail to ensure that it is securely locked into the up position. Siderails
are not intended to serve as a patient restraint device to keep patients from exiting the unit. Siderails are intended
to keep a patient from inadvertently rolling off the unit. It is the responsibility of the attending medical personnel
to determine the degree of restraint necessary to ensure that a patient will remain in place. Failure to utilize the
siderails properly could result in patient injury.
• Leave the stretcher height in the lowest position when the patient is left unattended. Leaving the stretcher height
in a raised position could increase the chance of patient falls and injury.
• When using any mattress thicker than 2.5 inches or when using a mattress overlay with the Prime X option, extra
caution and operator supervision is recommended to reduce the risk of patient falls due to lesser siderail coverage.

CLEANING THE STRETCHER
WARNING
• If your unit is equipped with the optional electric lift/litter, unplug the power cord from the power outlet before
transporting or cleaning the unit.
• Do not steam clean the unit.
These instructions are intended to provide recommended cleaning methods for Model 1115 Prime Series stretchers.
These units are designed to be power-washable. The unit may show some signs of oxidation or discoloration from
continuous washing. However, no degradation of the stretcher’s performance characteristics or functionality will occur
due to power washing as long as the proper procedures are followed.
RECOMMENDED CLEANING METHOD
• Follow the cleaning solution manufacturer’s dilution recommendations exactly.
• Stryker Medical recommends the standard hospital surgical cart washer for power washing.
• Do not replace the mattress on the stretcher until the unit is completely dry.
CAUTION
Before returning the unit to service after cleaning, verify that labels are intact, raise/lower the stretcher, lock the brake/
steer pedal in both positions, latch/unlatch the siderails, and raise/lower the fowler and gatch.
RECOMMENDED CART WASHING CLEANING METHOD
Stryker Medical recommends using a standard hospital surgical cart washer to power wash the stretcher a maximum
of once per year for the life of the unit.
To clean the unit with a cart washer:
1. Remove the mattress prior to washing the unit; do not wash the mattress with the stretcher.
2. Position the fowler at 45 degrees, position the gatch to the full down position, place the unit in full reverse
Trendelenburg (foot end down), raise the siderails, and place the I.V. poles and push handles in the up position.
3. Clean the unit with a maximum water temperature of 180 0F (82 0C), maximum air dry temperature (cart washers)
is 200 0F (93 0C) for 8 minutes, and maximum water pressure − 1500 psi/103.5 bar.
Note: If a handheld wand is being used to wash the unit, the pressure nozzle must be kept a minimum of 24 inches/.61m
from the unit. In addition, the same water temperatures and stretcher configurations apply as for the cart washer.

CLEANING THE STRETCHER (CONTINUED)
RECOMMENDED CLEANERS
Suggested cleaners for stretchers:
Quaternary Cleaners (active ingredient - ammonium chloride)
Phenolic Cleaners (active ingredient - o-phenylphenol)
Chlorinated Bleach Solution (1 part bleach (5.25% sodium hypochlorite) to 100 parts water which equals 520 ppm
available chlorine (40 mL of a 5.25% bleach solution per 4000 mL water))
Avoid over saturation and ensure that the product does not stay wet longer than recommended by 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
suggested above are used to clean Stryker patient handling equipment, measures must be taken to ensure that the
stretcher is wiped with a damp cloth soaked in clean water and thoroughly dried following cleaning. Failure to properly
rinse and dry the stretcher will leave a corrosive residue on the surface of the stretcher, possibly causing premature

These instructions are intended to provide recommended cleaning methods for the mattress.
WARNING
• Do not immerse mattress in cleaning or disinfectant solutions. Excess moisture could cause equipment malfunction
resulting in equipment damage or patient injury.
• Do not allow fluid to pool on the mattress. Fluids can cause corrosion of components and may cause the safety
and performance of this equipment to become unpredictable.
• Inspect mattress covers for tears, punctures, excessive wear, and misaligned zippers each time the covers are
cleaned. If compromised, the mattress should be removed from service immediately and replaced to prevent
cross-contamination.
Stryker mattresses are designed for long-lasting comfort and reliability. The life of the mattress can be adversely
affected by an increase in frequency of usage which might include more frequent cleaning and disinfection.
1. Using a clean, soft, damp cloth, wipe down the entire mattress with a mild soap and water solution to remove
foreign material.
2. Wipe down the mattress with a clean, dry cloth to remove any excess liquid or cleaning agent.
3. Care must be taken to thoroughly rinse and dry covers following cleaning.
4. Disinfect as necessary with a hospital grade disinfectant after cleaning has been completed. See “Disinfecting
the Mattress” on page 70.
CAUTION
• Do notiron, dry-clean, or tumble dry the mattress, as this will cause malfunction and damage the product.
• The mattress cover must be completely dry before storing, adding linens or placing a patient on the surface, to
prevent the performance of the equipment from being impaired.
• Avoid over exposure to alcohol or hydrogen peroxide. Swelling of the cover material will result.
• Do not allow liquid to seep into the zipper area and watershed cover barrier. Fluids allowed to come in contact with
the zipper may leak into the mattress which could impair the equipment performance.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
VelcroTo clean and disinfect, saturate with disinfectant, rinse with water, and allow it to evaporate.
Soils or StainsUse 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.
LaunderingLaundering 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 are 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.
