13.11 i-Drive Power
It is possible to equip the stretcher with the i-Drive Power wheel. The i-Drive Power helps hospital sta to drive the stretcher during
patient transport with minimal manpower.
The i-Drive Power wheel is located in the center of the stretcher under the undercarriage. i-Drive Power is equipped with its own
accumulator and charger and it is not dependent on the stretcher functions so, if discharged you can still use the stretcher func-
tions. The stretcher is equipped with one i-Drive Power Control Panel. i-Drive Power wheel is oriented in straight direction of the
stretcher.
13.11.1 Safety instruction for i-Drive Power
► Follow the instructions carefully.
► Ensure that the stretcher is operated exclusively by qualied sta.
► Make sure the siderails are raised up during the transport.
► Never use Fast forward button when descending. The Fast forward button is recommended for use when ascending as it
is more ecient.
► Special precaution need to be considered when reversing. Always keep distance from the stretcher and never use reverse
button when descending or ascending.
► Do not use Free Drive to transport on a slope over 1 degree unless adequate personnel are available to manage safe
stretcher transport.
► The driving down the slope that exceeds 6 degrees will require adequate contribution of a manpower.
► Never leave the stretcher with an activated i-Drive Power system without supervision of the trained sta.
► Always use the regular mechanical brake system to brake and stabilize the stretcher.
► Pay increased attention when driving the stretcher using i-Drive Power. Be aware of people and objects in close proximity
and avoid collision with them by careful driving, especially by appropriate speed control.
► Make sure the stretcher is unplugged and stretcher brakes are released before using i-Drive Power.
► Push the emergency stop drive button if immediate movement interruption is needed (e.g. to avoid collision with other
persons or objects).
► Retract the i-Drive Power wheel to the undercarriage when parking. This will prevent misuse when unbraking and braking
the stretcher.
► Switch o the i-Drive Power accumulator prior to long-term storage or transport.
► Press or lift a pedal to leave all Brake pedals and Drive pedals unpressed in their middle position to retract the i-Drive Po-
wer Wheel in the case of i-Drive Power system failure. This will enable moving the stretcher to a safe area manually without using
i-Drive Power.
► Retract the i-Drive Power wheel to the undercarriage every time you intend to move the stretcher sideways.
► Pay attention to the LED accumulator status indicator and plan your drive using the i-Drive Power accordingly. Insucient
accumulator capacity can cause unexpected complications and risks during the drive.
► Always plug the stretcher in when you nish your drive in order to recharge the accumulator and keep your stretcher ready
to go using the i-Drive Power.
► The i-Drive Power accumulator must be replaced every 2 years to maintain proper functions of the i-Drive Power.
