Safety Tips and Guidelines
SAFETY TIPS AND GUIDELINES
Before operating the Secure 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.
WARNING
Danger: Explosion hazard. Do not use in the presence of flammable anesthetics.
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). After the brake pedal is applied, push on
the bed to ensure the brakes are locked. Serious injury could result if the bed moves while a patient is
getting in or out of bed.
Ensure the brakes are completely released prior to attempting to move the unit. Attempting to move the
unit with the brakes actuated could result in injury to the user and/or patient.
Do not attempt to move the foot end of the bed laterally when the steer pedal is activated. When the steer
pedal is activated, the steer caster at the foot end of the bed cannot swivel. Attempting to move the bed
laterally when the steer pedal is activated may cause injury to the user.
The Secure II Bed is not intended for use with patients less than two years of age.
Serious injury can result if caution is not used when operating the unit. Operate the unit only when all
persons are clear of the electrical and mechanical systems.
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 attaching equipment to the frame, ensure it will not impede normal frame operation. For example:
hooks on hanging equipment must not actuate control buttons, equipment must not hide the nurse call
button, etc.
Use only a Stryker supplied interface cable. Use of any other cable may cause the bed to function improp-
erly which may result in patient or user injury.
The Secure II is equipped with a hospital grade plug for protection against shock hazard. It must be
plugged directly into a properly grounded three−prong receptacle. Grounding reliability can be achieved
only when a hospital grade receptacle is used.
When using the manual override shaft to manually actuate bed functions, always unplug the bed power
cord from the wall socket to avoid injury in the event of a sudden return of power to the bed.
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 to ensure a patient will remain safely in bed.
The Bed Exit System is intended only to aid in the detection of a patient exiting the unit. It is NOT intended
to replace patient monitoring protocol. The bed exit system signals when a patient is about to exit. Adding
or subtracting objects from the frame after zeroing the weigh system may cause a reduction in the sensitivity of the bed exit system.
Always unplug the bed power cord from the wall socket and push the battery power on/off switch to the
“OFF” position before servicing or cleaning the bed. When working under the bed with the bed in the high
position, always place blocks under the litter frame and apply the brakes to prevent injury in case the Bed
Down switch is accidently pressed.
The CPR emergency release on the Short Bed frame may require assistance to lower the back when the
Back is in the highest position. Attempting to lower the Back in this position without assistance may result
in injury to the operator.
Only use equipment with the following electrical specs: 110 VAC; 10A; 60Hz. Maximum total load drawn
by equipment used in this receptacle outlet must not exceed 10A. The total system chassis risk current
should not exceed 100uA. Grounding continuity should be checked periodically.

Safety Tips and Guidelines
SAFETY TIPS AND GUIDELINES (CONTINUED)
WARNING
To avoid risk of electrical shock, unplug all power cords before opening the service compartment, junction
box or receptacle.
Do not use the optional 110V outlet for life sustaining equipment.
To avoid pinching your fingers, place the IV pole in the upright position before using the drive handle .
When using any mattress and/or mattress overlay that increases the overall height greater than 6” extra
caution and/or operator supervision is required to help reduce the likelihood of a patient fall occurring.
To avoid possible injury and to assure proper operation when using a powered mattress replacement system
such as XPRT:
Confirm proper scale system operation following mattress installation. For best results, secure the thera-
py mattress power cord to prevent damage to the cord or interference with the bed frame and the scale
system.
Do not zero bed scales or weigh patient with Percussion, Vibration, Rotation or Turn−Assist active. Pa-
tient motion and position resulting from the dynamic therapy mattress may adversely affect scale system
performance.
Do no initialize (“arm”) bed exit with Percussion, Vibration, Rotation or Turn−Assist active. The patient
motion and position resulting from the dynamic therapy mattress may adversely affect bed exit system
performance.
When using an XPRT Therapy Mattress extra caution and/or operator supervision is required to help re-
duce the likelihood of a patient fall occurring.
CAUTION
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 affect the operational capabilities of any electrical
product. DO NOT put the bed back into service until it is completely dry and has been thoroughly tested
for safe operation.
Preventative maintenance should be performed at a minimum of annually to ensure all bed features are
functioning properly. Close attention should be given to safety features including, but not limited to:
safety side latching mechanisms, frayed electrical cords and components, all electrical controls return
to off or neutral position when released, caster braking systems, no controls or cabling entangled in bed
mechanisms, leakage current 100 microamps maximum, scale and bed exit systems calibrated properly.
Because individual beds may have different options, foot boards should not be moved from one bed to
another. Mixing foot boards could result in unpredictable bed operation.
The lockout buttons on the foot board lock the Fowler, Gatch and Bed Up/Down functions and prevent
motion of the bed. It is the responsibility of attending medical personnel to determine whether these functions should be locked and to use the buttons accordingly.
The weight of the IV bags should not exceed 40 pounds.
Scale function may be affected by siderail/caster interference. With the litter fully lowered or lowered in
Reverse Trendelenburg, the siderails tucked under the litter in the storage position and the casters
turned, there is the potential for interference between the siderail and the caster. Raise the siderails when
lowering the litter to the full down position to prevent the interference from causing the scale system to
weigh inaccurately.
When attaching equipment to the frame, ensure it will not impede normal operation. For example: hooks
on hanging equipment must not actuate control buttons, equipment must not hide the nurse call button,
etc.

Safety Tips and Guidelines
CAUTION CONT’D
The use of a mattress overlay may reduce the effectiveness of the siderail.
IV Poles should not be used as a bed push/pull device.
The cleanliness and integrity of both ground chains must be maintained to minimize static build−up and
discharge.
Do not add or remove weight when the bed exit system is armed.
SAFETY TIPS AND GUIDELINES (ZOOMr OPTION)
In addition to the previous warnings and cautions, all of the following warnings and cautions apply to units
equipped with the Zoom option.
WARNING
The 3002 Patient Transport Frame is intended for use by trained hospital personnel only. Failure to prop-
erly train personnel could result in injury.
USE CAUTION while maneuvering the unit with the drive wheel activated. Always ensure there are no
obstacles near the unit while the drive wheel is activated. Injury to the patient, user or bystanders or damage to the frame or surrounding equipment could occur if the unit collides with an obstacle.
Use caution when transporting the unit down halls, through doors, in and out of elevators, etc. Damage
to the siderails or other parts of the unit could occur if the unit comes in contact with walls or door frames.
Put the drive wheel in the neutral position and release the brakes before pushing the unit manually. Do
not attempt to push the unit manually with the drive wheel engaged. The unit will be difficult to push and
injury could result.
If unanticipated motion occurs, unplug the power cord from the wall socket, push the battery power on/off
switch to the ”OFF” position (the LED will not be illuminated) and actuate the drive wheel pedal to the
neutral position.
The power save mode is activated after one hour on battery power with no motion release switch activa-
tion. Functions including Bed Exit, scale and motion will cease to operate when the unit enters the power
save mode. Injury to the patient could occur if proper patient monitoring protocol is not observed.
Always unplug the power cord and push the battery power on/off switch to the “OFF” position before ser-
vice or cleaning. When working under the frame, always place blocks under the litter frame to prevent
injury in case the Bed Down switch is accidently activated.
Due to the weight the battery adds to the bed (approximately 50 pounds), additional force is required to
move the bed. Caution should be used when transporting this bed. Additional assistance should be used
when necessary. Failure to use caution while transporting this bed may result in injury to the user.
Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known
to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after
handling.
Do not modify the 3002 Patient Transport Frame. Modifying the unit can cause unpredictable operation
resulting in injury to the patient or operator. Modifying the unit will also void its warranty.
CAUTION
To avoid damage while transporting the bed, verify the I.V. pole is at a low enough height to allow it to
safely pass through door openings and under light fixtures.
The battery tray assembly weighs 50 pounds. Take care when removing the two hex head screws secur-
ing it to the base frame or personal injury could result.

Set−Up Procedures
SET−UP PROCEDURES
It is important that the Secure II Bed is working properly before it is put into service. The following list will
help ensure that each part of the bed is tested.
Plug the bed into a properly grounded, hospital grade wall receptacle and ensure the ”Power” LED light
at the foot end of the bed comes on.
WARNING
The Secure II is equipped with a hospital grade plug for protection against shock hazard. It must be plugged
directly into a properly grounded three−prong receptacle. Grounding reliability can be achieved only when
a hospital grade receptacle is used.
Plug the optional interface cable into the 37 pin connector under the litter frame at the head end of the
bed, and into the ”Patient Station”, ”Head Wall”, ”Docker Station”, or equivalent (whichever applies). Test
the interface cable to verify it is functioning properly.
WARNING
Use only a Stryker supplied interface cable. Use of any other cable may cause the bed to function improperly
which may result in patient or user injury.
Ensure the siderails raise, lower and store smoothly and lock in the up position and in the intermediate
position when lowered (page 15).
Ensure that all four casters lock when the brake pedal is engaged (page 11).
Raise the Back up to approximately 60. Squeeze the CPR release handle and ensure the Back will drop
with minimal effort.
NOTE
Ensure that the ”Brake Not Set” LEDs located on the outside of the head end siderails and on the foot board
control panel come on when the brakes are disengaged.
Run through each function on the foot board control panel to ensure that each function is working properly
(page 18−23).
Run through each function on both head end siderails to ensure that each is working properly (page 15
− 17).
Activate the motion stop system to ensure it is functioning properly: press and hold down the BED DOWN
key. As the bed lowers, lift up on the motion interrupt pan (reference illustration on page 10) and ensure
the downward motion stops. Release the pan and allow the downward motion to continue.
NOTE
The bed’s upward motion or other functions are not disrupted by the motion stop system.
If the bed is equipped with the Nurse Call option, verify it is functioning properly prior to patient use.

Set−Up Procedures
SET−UP PROCEDURES (ZOOMr OPTION)
If your bed is equipped with the Zoom drive wheel option, run through the set−up procedures on page 7
and continue with the procedures listed below.
Plug the power cord into a properly grounded, hospital grade wall receptacle. The 12 volt batteries that
provide power to the drive wheel and back−up power to the unit functions will charge whenever the power
cord is plugged into the wall socket. The batteries require approximately 10 hours of charging time before
the bed is put into service.
Unplug the power cord from the wall socket. Push the battery power switch located on the lower left cor-
ner of the head end to the “ON” position. Again, verify each function on the foot board and siderails is
operating properly.
With the battery power switch in the “ON” position and the brakes engaged, ensure the “Release Brakes”
LED on the head end control panel is illuminated.
With the battery power switch in the “ON” position and the drive wheel in the neutral position (not touching
the floor), ensure the “Engage Drive Wheel” LED on the head end control panel is illuminated.
Run through the operation of the drive wheel (see page 32 & 33) to ensure it is operating properly.
If any problems are found during bed set−up, contact Stryker Customer Service at 800−327−0770.

BRAKE PEDAL OPERATION
WARNING
Always apply the caster brakes when a patient is getting on or off the bed. Push on the bed to ensure the
brakes are securely locked. Always engage the brakes unless the bed is being moved. Injury could result
if the bed moves while a patient is getting on or off the bed.
To activate the brakes, push down once on one of the
pedals located at the midpoint of the bed on both sides
(identified by the label at right). The pedal will remain
in the lowered position, indicating the brakes are engaged. To disengage the brakes, push down once and
the pedal will return to the upper position.
NOTE
There are LED lights on the outside of the head end siderails and on the foot end control panel that will blink
when the brakes are not engaged only if the bed is plugged into a wall socket (see pages 17 & 19). The brakes
will still operate properly when the bed is not plugged in.

When the bed is moved, the steer caster helps guide the bed along a straight line and helps the bed pivot
around corners.
To activate the steer caster, move the pedal located
at the head end of the bed to your left as shown on
the label.
NOTE
For proper ”tracking” of the steer caster, push the bed approximately 10 feet to allow the wheels to face the
direction of travel before engaging the steer pedal. If this is not done, proper ”tracking” will not occur and the
bed will be difficult to steer.
WARNING
Do not attempt to move the foot end of the bed laterally when the steer pedal is activated. When the steer
pedal is activated, the steer caster at the foot end of the bed cannot swivel. Attempting to move the bed laterally when the steer pedal is activated may cause injury to the user.

Litter Operation Guide
CPR EMERGENCY RELEASE
When quick access to the patient is needed, and the Fowler is raised, squeeze one of the two red release
handles (see illustration, page 10) and the Fowler can be quickly guided down to a flat position.
NOTE
The handle can be released at any time to stop the Fowler from lowering.
A
FOOT PROP USAGE
To prop the foot end of the Knee Gatch up, grasp
the end of the Knee Gatch and lift upward, allowing
the foot prop (A) to engage at the desired height.
To release the prop, swing the prop (A) toward the
head end of the bed to disengage the hinge and
lower the foot end.
WARNING
To avoid injury while cleaning or servicing under
the foot section, secure the foot section with string
or bungee cords or hold it up out of the way.
FOOT END
FRACTURE FRAME USAGE
A standard fracture frame can be mounted on the bed using the IV sockets located on all four corners of the
bed. IV poles can be used in conjunction with a fracture frame if IV pole adaptor sockets are purchased.
WARNING
Use only retractable traction or fracture frames. Failure to use a retractable frame may result in injury to the
patient and/or damage to the equipment.
FOLEY BAG HOOKS USAGE
The standard Foley bag hooks are found at two locations on both sides of the frame: under the frame below
the seat section and at the extreme foot end of the frame. The optional isolated Foley bag hooks are located
at the foot end of the bed on top of the lift header. The patient weight reading on the scale system will not
be affected when the optional isolated Foley bag hooks are used.
PATIENT RESTRAINT STRAP LOCATIONS
The bed has 12 locations for installing patient restraint straps on the litter top, 6 on each side of the bed.
WARNING
Improperly adjusted restraint straps can cause serious injury to a patient. The clinician must use her/his
judgement to determine proper use of restraint straps and restraint strap locations.
Clean Velcro AFTER EACH USE. Saturate Velcro with disinfectant and allow disinfectant to evaporate. (Ap-
propriate disinfectant for nylon Velcro should be determined by the hospital.)
