Summary of Safety Precautions
• Some cleaning products are corrosive in nature and may cause damage to the product if used improperly. If the
products suggested above are used to clean Stryker patient handling equipment, measures must be taken to ensure
that the stretcher is wiped with a damp cloth soaked in clean water and thoroughly dried following cleaning. Failure
to properly rinse and dry the stretcher will leave a corrosive residue on the surface of the stretcher, possibly causing
premature corrosion of critical components. Failure to follow the directions provided in the Cleaning section of this
manual (page 60) when using these types of cleaners may void this product’s warranty.
NOTE
• Equipment not suitable for use in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture with air or with oxygen or nitrous
oxide.
• The bottom of the brake pads should be cleaned regularly to prevent wax or floor remnant buildup.
• Clean the base hood storage area regularly.
• In lieu of specific requirments from IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-2-32:1994, equivalent means of safety were used
on the Prime-X series of products regarding accessory overloading, applied parts, and indications to the operator.
