Summary of Safety Precautions

English

WARNING (CONTINUED)

• Inspect SMRT Paks for damage before every use. Do not charge or use if
there is any evidence of damage. During cleaning, moisture may enter a
cracked housing and damage the electrical components or cause leaking
or venting of battery electrolyte. This may result in chemical burns of skin
and eyes.

• Never incinerate the SMRT Pak, even if it is severely damaged, because the
SMRT Pak can explode in a fire.

• Never short-circuit the SMRT Pak by connecting the terminals with any
conductive material.

CAUTION

• Only use the SMRT Pak and SMRT Charger as specified.

• Place the electrical power cord where it will not be stepped on, tripped over,

or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.

• Do not touch the SMRT Pak receptacle terminals with metal objects.

• To reduce the risk of damage to the electrical plug and cord, grasp and pull

the plug, not the cord when disconnecting the SMRT Charger.

• Make sure that the SMRT Pak is fully charged prior to placing into service.
An uncharged or depleted SMRT Pak may cause poor cot performance.

• Remove the SMRT Pak if the Power-PRO cot is not going to be used for an
extended period of time (over 1 week).

• Remove the SMRT Pak before washing the Power-PRO cot. See page 1-25
for cleaning instructions.

• Dry the SMRT Paks before placing them in the SMRT Charger to avoid
damage to the batteries or charger.

• Replace a SMRT Pak in the Power-PRO cot at the first indication that it is
losing power. Using a SMRT Pak until it is completely drained may cause
permanent damage and will shorten the life and output of the SMRT Pak.

NOTE

• The cot indicator LED does not have to flash amber before removing and
charging the SMRT Pak, however this is considered to be a “best practice.”

• For extended storage, the SMRT Pak should remain on the SMRT Charger
to trickle charge and ensure that the SMRT Pak remains fully charged. The
SMRT Charger keeps the SMRT Pak charged and ready for use.

• To maximize available battery power, only use SMRT Paks that have been
fully charged within the last 48 hours.

• Fully charge the SMRT Pak for two hours before troubleshooting the Pak.

Compatibility Information

English

COT COMPATIBILITY

The Stryker SMRT Pak is designed to be compatible with the Power-PRO XT,
Power-PRO TL, and Power-PRO IT cots. The 24 VDC Power-PRO system and
the SMRT Pak is rated for 2.4 amp-hours of electric energy. A SMRT Pak that is
in good working condition and is fully charged provides up to 15-20 “calls” with
a 250 pound patient (actual results may vary).

Running the SMRT Pak repeatedly, without rest periods, can increase the
temperature within the cells and reduce life. For example, lifting a heavy patient
up and down several times in rapid succession can reduce the SMRT Pak life.

For best results, use the SMRT Pak on the Power-PRO cot until the cot indicator
LED changes from green to flashing amber.

Note: The cot indicator LED does not have to flash amber before removing and
charging the SMRT Pak, however this is considered to be a “best practice.”

Once the SMRT Pak has been discharged, remove the SMRT Pak from the
Power-PRO cot and replace it with a fully charged SMRT Pak.

CHARGER COMPATIBILITY

The Stryker SMRT Pak is intended for use with the Stryker SMRT Charger only.

CHARGING THE BATTERY

Note:

• For extended storage, the SMRT Pak should remain on the SMRT Charger
to trickle charge and ensure that the SMRT Pak remains fully charged. The
SMRT Charger keeps the SMRT Pak charged and ready for use.

• The SMRT Pak should be at room temperature, within the allowable
temperature charge range of 43°F to 88°F (6°C to 31°C). Charging the SMRT
Pak outside of this recommended temperature range reduces SMRT Pak life
and extends charge time.

WARNING

If the SMRT Pak is cracked or damaged, do not insert it into the SMRT Charger.
Return damaged SMRT Paks to a service center for recycling.

To charge the SMRT Pak:

1. Insert a clean, dry SMRT Pak into the SMRT Charger. Make sure that the
SMRT Pak is properly seated. The SMRT Pak locks into the SMRT Charger.

2. The SMRT Charger indicator LED will flash green while charging. The
optimum charge time is two hours.

3. When the SMRT Pak is fully charged and ready, the charger indicator LED
turns to solid green, as shown in Figure 7.

4. Press the RED release button (Figure 7) and slide the SMRT Pak to release
the fully charged and ready SMRT Pak from the SMRT Charger.

REPLACING THE BATTERY

WARNING

To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the SMRT Pak when the
Power-PRO cot is activated.

The Power-PRO cot indicator LED flashes amber when the SMRT Pak needs to
be recharged or replaced. However, the SMRT Pak can be removed and charged
at any time. The SMRT Charger properly manages charging regardless of the
SMRT Pak charge state.

The SMRT Pak can remain on the Power-PRO cot between service calls for up

to one week or until the cot indicator LED flashes amber.

English

CAUTION

Make sure that the SMRT Pak is fully charged prior to placing it into service. An
uncharged or depleted SMRT Pak may cause poor cot performance.

The Power-PRO cot indicator LED is solid green when the SMRT Pak is fully
charged or has adequately charged battery power.

STORING THE BATTERY

All batteries lose charge during storage or periods of inactivity. A SMRT Pak can
lose up to 30 percent of its charge within 48 hours after being removed from the
SMRT Charger. Stored SMRT Paks should be used and fully charged every three
months to maintain top performance.
