Preventative Maintenance
CLEANING
1. Hand wash all surfaces of the bed with warm water and mild detergent. Dry thoroughly.
2. Clean Velcro AFTER EACH USE. Saturate Velcro with disinfectant and allow disinfectant to evaporate.
(Appropriate disinfectant for nylon Velcro should be determined by the hospital.)
NOTE
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 dam-
age to your stretcher if used improperly. If these types of products are used to clean Stryker patient handling
equipment, measures must be taken to insure the stretchers are rinsed with clean water and thoroughly dried
following cleaning. Failure to properly rinse and dry the stretchers will leave a corrosive residue on the surface
of the stretcher, possibly causing premature corrosion of critical components. Failure to follow the above
directions when using these types of cleaners may void this product’s warranty.
