Product description
The Stryker Model 6390 Power-LOAD® power-loading cot fastener system is designed to lift, lower, or steer compatible
ambulance cots into and out of an emergency ground transport vehicle. When the cot is securely attached to the system,
a battery powered hydraulic system assists the operators in loading and unloading a cot. The system also secures the
compatible ambulance cot within the vehicle for patient transportation purposes. When the cot is secured in the
transport position, Power-LOAD inductively charges compatible model 6506 Power-PRO™ XT and 6516 Power-PRO™
IT ambulance cots. In the event of power loss, the system remains functional for securing the cot within the vehicle.
Indications for use
Power-LOAD is intended to assist with loading and unloading of a compatible wheeled stretcher (ambulance cot) to and
from a transport vehicle and to secure the ambulance cot during transport. The device has a maximum safe working
load of 870 lb (395 kg), which includes the weight of the ambulance cot, patient, and equipment attached to the cot
(such as oxygen bottles, monitors, and pumps). The intended users of the device are trained professionals, including
emergency medical service and medical care center personnel, as well as medical first responders, service technicians
and installers.
Expected service life

maintenance.
