• Always allow the product to reach room temperature before you set up the product or test functional operations.
Permanent product damage may occur.
• Always operate the product only when all operators are clear of the mechanisms.
• Always use mattress (6300-0-100, 6300-0-102, 6300-0-103, or 6300-0-104) on the Stryker Model 6300 SSTT11 and SSTT11--XX
Series stretcher. Use of any other mattress may result in patient injury.
• Always use caution when you use a mattress thicker than 6.35 cm (2.5 inches) with SSTT11--XX option. Operator supervision
is recommended to reduce the risk of patient falls due to lesser siderail coverage.
• Always use linens with the mattress.
• Do not stick needles into the mattress cover. Holes may allow body fluids to enter the inside (inner core) of the mattress
and may cause cross-contamination or product damage.
• Always use the mattress with a compatible frame as indicated in the specification section of this manual.
• Always apply the brakes when a patient is getting on the product or off the product or when the product is not moving.
Injury could result if the product moves while a patient is getting on the product or off the product.
• Always position the patient in the center of the product.
• Always put the product in the lowest position with the siderails up and latched when you leave a patient unattended. Do
not leave the product at a higher height.
• Always remove any devices that may be in the way before you raise or lower the litter.
• Do not sit on the end of the product. The product may tip.
• Always lock the siderails in the full up position with the sleep surface flat in the lowest position when you transport a
patient.
• Do not transport the product laterally on an incline greater than 6 degrees (10%) to avoid tipping. Always make sure that
the litter is horizontal (no Trendelenburg/Reverse Trendelenburg) at the lowest height when you transport a patient.
• Always apply the brakes on both the surface with the patient and the surface the patient will be transferred to before you
transfer a patient from one patient support platform (bed, stretcher, gurney, operating table) to another patient support
platform.
• Always make sure that the patient support platforms are the same height before you transfer a patient.
• Always keep hands and fingers clear of the foot end push handles when you use the defibrillator tray/chart holder or
upright oxygen bottle holder.
• Always keep the patient’s limbs away from the siderail spindles when you raise or lower the siderail.
• Do not allow the siderails to lower on their own.
• Always keep hands and fingers clear of the Fowler backrest release handles and the Fowler backrest frame when you
lower the Fowler backrest.
• Always use caution when you raise a pneumatic Fowler backrest while a patient is on the product. Use proper lifting
techniques and get help, if necessary.
• Do not place items between the Fowler backrest and the litter frame when the Fowler backrest is raised.
• Do not hang IV bags that exceed the safe working load of 18 kg on the IV pole.
• Do not hang IV bags that exceed the safe working load of 4.5 kg on any hanger on the IV pole.
• Always make sure that the IV pole is at a low height to pass through door openings when you transport a patient.
• Do not use the IV pole as a push/pull device. Product damage may occur.
• Always use qualified personnel to assemble and attach accessories.
• Always use caution if the defibrillator tray/chart holder or upright oxygen bottle holder is attached to avoid pinching your
fingers when you position the foot end push handle option.
• Do not place items that exceed the safe working load of 14 kg on the defibrillator tray/chart holder.
• Do not use the defibrillator tray/chart holder as a push/pull device. Product damage may occur.
