• The Bed Exit system (optional) is not designed to be used with patients weighing less than 50 lb (23 kg).
• When large fluid spills occur in the area of the circuit boards, cables and motors, immediately unplug the bed power
cord from the wall outlet, remove the patient from the bed and clean up the fluid. Have maintenance completely
check the bed. Fluids can have an adverse effect on operational capabilities of any electrical product. Do not put
the bed back into service until it is completely dried and has been thoroughly tested for safe operation. Ensure,
among other things, that the plastic components being used as covers for the siderail mechanism arms and the foot
end casing are removed and that the parts they cover are thoroughly dried.
• Do not steam clean, hose off or ultrasonically clean the bed. Do not immerse any part of the bed in any kind of liquid.
The internal electrical parts may be damaged by exposure to water. Hand wash regularly all surfaces of the bed
with warm water and a mild detergent. Wipe cleaned surfaces dry to avoid build up of cleaning substance. Inspect
the mattress after each use. Discontinue use if any cracks or rips, which may allow fluid to enter the mattress, are
found in the mattress cover. Failure to properly clean the mattress, or dispose of it if defective, may increase the risk
of exposure to pathogenic substances and may bring about diseases to the patient and user.
• Preventative maintenance should be performed at least once a year to ensure all bed features are functioning
properly. Ensure that any bed malfunction is promptly reported to your service personnel for immediate attention.
• Always unplug the bed power cord from the wall outlet when servicing or cleaning the bed. When working under the
bed with the bed in the high position, always apply the brakes and place blocks under the Hi-Low levers to prevent
injury in case the bed down switch is accidentally pressed.
• Before using the optional emergency crank during a power failure, always unplug the power cord. An unexpected
return of the power could rotate the handle and cause injury to the user.
• Because individual beds may have different options, foot boards should not be moved from one bed to another.
Mixing foot boards could result in unpredictable bed operation.
• When servicing use only identical replacement parts provided by Stryker.
• Make sure that the ground chain is in place, intact and it’s touching the floor (see Figure 1.9, page 9).
• Do not put anything under the bed.
CAUTION
• When using a mattress thicker than 6 inches (15,24 cm) or a mattress ovelay, extra caution and/or patient supervision
may be required to reduce the likelihood of occurence of a patient fall.
• To avoid damage to the siderail mechanisms, do not move the bed using the raised siderails. Move the bed using
the push/pull handles integrated to the boards.
Note
Throughout this Operations Manual, the words “right” and “left” refer to the right and left sides of a patient lying face
up on the bed.
