STRETCHER CLEANING
WARNING
• If your unit is equipped with the optional electric lift/litter, unplug the power cord from the power outlet before
transporting or cleaning the unit. To unplug, grasp the mold near the outlet and pull the cord in a direction parallel
to the floor (not at an angle).
• Do not steam clean the unit.
These instructions are intended to provide recommended cleaning methods for Model 1115 Prime Series Stretchers.
These units are designed to be power-washable. The unit may show some signs of oxidation or discoloration from
continuous washing. However, no degradation of the stretcher’s performance characteristics or functionality will occur
due to power washing as long as the proper procedures are followed.
RECOMMENDED CLEANING METHOD
• Follow the cleaning solution manufacturer’s dilution recommendations exactly.
• Stryker Medical recommends the standard hospital surgical cart washer for power washing.
• Do not replace the mattress on the stretcher until the unit is completely dry.
RECOMMENDED CART WASHING CLEANING METHOD
Stryker Medical recommends using a standard hospital surgical cart washer to power wash the stretcher a maximum
of once per year for the life of the unit.
To clean the unit with a cart washer:
1. Remove the mattress prior to washing the unit; do not wash the mattress with the stretcher.
2. Position the fowler at 45 degrees, position the gatch to the full down position, place the unit in full reverse
Trendelenburg (foot end down), raise the siderails, and place the I.V. poles and push handles in the up position.
3. Clean the unit with a maximum water temperature of 180
0
F (82
0
C), maximum air dry temperature (cart washers)
is 200
0
F (93
0
C) for 8 minutes, and maximum water pressure − 1500 psi/103.5 bar.
Note: If a handheld wand is being used to wash the unit, the pressure nozzle must be kept a minimum of 24 inches/.61m
from the unit. In addition, the same water temperatures and stretcher configurations apply as for the cart washer.
CAUTION
Before returning the unit to service after cleaning, ensure that the unit is functioning properly by verifying that all labels
are intact, raise/lower the stretcher height, brake/steer pedal locks properly in both positions, latch/unlatch the siderails,
and raise/lower the fowler and gatch.
