Safety Information (continued):
Stretcher Height – To minimize risk of falls or injury, the stretcher should always be in the lowest practical position
when the patient is unattended.
Patient Entrance/Exit – Caregiver should always aid patient in exiting the stretcher. Make sure a capable patient
knows how to get out of the stretcher- safely (and, if necessary, how to release the side rails) in case of fire or other
emergency.
Brakes – Caster brakes should always be locked once the stretcher is in position. Verify wheels are locked before
any patient transfer to or from stretcher.
Skin Care – Monitor skin conditions regularly and consider adjunct or alternative therapies for high acuity patients.
Give extra attention to skin at any other possible pressure points and locations where moisture or incontinence may
occur or collect. Early intervention may be essential to preventing skin breakdown.
No Smoking in Bed – Smoking in bed can be dangerous. To avoid the risk of fire, smoking in bed should never be
allowed.
General Protocols – Follow all applicable safety rules and institution protocols concerning patient and caregiver
safety.
Disposal – At the end of useful life, dispose of waste according to local requirements or contact the manufacturer for
advice.
