Before operating this unit, it is important to read and understand all information in this manual. Carefully read
and strictly follow the warnings and cautions listed on this page.
WARNING
The decision to use the Solo patient support surface for an individual surgical patient must be made by a
healthcare professional. The use of the Solo product should be based on patients’ assessed medical needs.
Individual patient assessment and proper patient screening in selection of a surgical support surface is needed to mitigate patient safety issues. All traditional surgical protocols should be followed per AORN guidelines.
Injury could result if the table moves during procedures or examinations or while a patient is getting on or off
the table. Always engage the brakes and push on the table to ensure the brakes are securely locked.
Do not rest your feet on the cover of the surgery table base. Injury may occur, especially if the litter is lowered
while in a non-horizontal position.
To avoid injury, keep hands/fingers clear of area between the litter frame and the Fowler when lowering the
Fowler.
To avoid injury, keep hands/fingers clear of the area between the litter frame and the foot section when lowering the foot section.
Always hold the foot section when adjusting it. The foot section may rise too quickly and injury may result.
To avoid injury, always support the patient’s feet and legs when removing the foot section.
Do not sit on the foot section. Sitting on the foot section may result in a fall and injury. When the load on the
foot section exceeds 150 pounds, the foot section will lower to prevent the unit from tipping.
To avoid patient falls and injury, always use proper patient restraints when positioning the surgery table litter
in Trendelenburg or reverse Trendelenburg or in lateral tilt.
To avoid injury or damage to the equipment, do not allow the siderail to lower on its own.
To avoid patient injury or damage to the unit, remove equipment from the foot end accessory rail before chang-
ing the position of the foot section and from the Fowler accessory rail before changing the position of the Fowler.
To avoid patient injury or damage to the unit, remove I.V. poles from the foot end receptacles before lowering
the foot section.
Do not sit on the Foot End Back Rest. Excessive weight on the Foot End Back Rest could cause the unit
to tip, resulting in injury.
The weight of the patient’s head is resting on the head piece and must be supported by the operator when
the latches are released and the head piece is being positioned. Failure to adequately support the head piece
while positioning the head could result in patient injury.
To avoid possible pinch points when adjusting the head piece, keep your fingers away from the jointed areas.
Do not reach between the side of the head extension and the articulating head piece to pull the release handle.
Finger injury could result.
CAUTION
To avoid damage, move any equipment that may hinder motion before raising or lowering the table height
and positioning the table.
If the unit is positioned in reverse Trendelenburg with the foot section lowered, the foot section may contact
the floor. To avoid damaging the unit, raise the litter or raise the foot section to the flat position before positioning the unit in reverse Trendelenburg.
The weight of the I.V. bags should not exceed 40 pounds.

DILUTION
Quaternary Germicidal Disinfectants, used as directed, and/or Chlorine Bleach products, typically 5.25% So dium Hypochlorite in dilutions ranging between 1 part bleach to 100 parts water, and 2 parts bleach
to 100 parts water are not considered mild detergents. These products are corrosive in nature and
may cause damage to your table if used improperly. If these types of products are used to clean Stryker
equipment, measures must be taken to insure the equipment is rinsed with clean water and thoroughly dried
following cleaning. Failure to properly rinse and dry the equipment will leave a corrosive residue on the surface
of the equipment, 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.
REMOVAL OF IODINE COMPOUNDS
This solution may be used to remove iodine stains from mattress cover surfaces.
1. Use a solution of 1-2 tablespoons 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.
2. Rinse surfaces which have been exposed to the solution in clear water before returning bed to service.
