Cleaning
STRETCHER CLEANING (CONTINUED)
RECOMMENDED CLEANERS
Suggested cleaners for stretcher surfaces:
Quaternary Cleaners (active ingredient - ammonium chloride)
Phenolic Cleaners (active ingredient - o-phenylphenol)
Chlorinated Bleach Solution (1 part bleach (5.25% sodium hypochlorite) to 100 parts water which equals 520 ppm
available chlorine (40 mL of a 5.25% bleach solution per 4000 mL water)
Avoid over saturation and ensure that the product does not stay wet longer than recommended by the chemical
manufacturer’s guidelines for proper disinfecting.
CAUTION
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 above directions when using these types of cleaners may void this
product’s warranty.
Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean the display enclosure for the optional scale system. Do not allow cleaning
solutions or other fluids to pool on the display unit. Wipe dry all surfaces after spills or cleaning.
MATTRESS CLEANING
These instructions are intended to provide recommended cleaning methods for stretcher mattresses.
RECOMMENDED CLEANING METHOD
• Hand-wash all surfaces of the mattress with warm water and mild detergent cleaner.
• Dry thoroughly.
• Apply disinfectant solution either by spray solution or pre-impregnated wipes (do not soak mattress).
• Clean per hospital protocol for mattresses.
• Wipe up excess disinfectant.
• Rinse with clean water.

RECOMMENDED DISINFECTANTS
IMPORTANT: DILUTE ALL DISINFECTANTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH MANUFACTURER’S DIRECTIONS.

germicidal disinfectants are recommended. For chlorine bleach, use 1 part bleach (5.25% sodium hypochlorite) to 100
parts water which equals 520 ppm available chlorine (40 mL of a 5.25% bleach solution per 4000 mL water).
