WARNING (CONTINUED)
• Do not attach restraints to the base or cross tubes, improper restraint attachment could result in damage to the
cot further resulting in injury to the patient or operator.
• Never install or use a wheel lock on a cot with excessively worn wheels. Installing or using a wheel lock on a wheel
with less than a 6" diameter could compromise the holding ability of the wheel lock, possibly resulting in injury to
the patient or operator and/or damage to the cot or other equipment.
• Ensure that the push bar is properly locked into its mount to prevent the bar from coming out during use and
possibly injuring the operator and/or patient.
• Do not lift the cot with the push bars. Lifting the cot by the push bars may result in failure of the push bar lock
mechanism and may injure the operator and/or patient.
• When not in use, store the push bars in the base storage pouch that is provided with the push bar option.
• To avoid accidental release of the Pedi-Mate
located away from obstructions on the cot or accessories.
• Use of power washing equipment can aerate contamination collected during the use of the cot. Use any appropriate
personal safety equipment (goggles, respirator, etc.) to avoid the risk of inhaling contagion.
• SOME CLEANING PRODUCTS ARE CORROSIVE IN NATURE AND MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE PRODUCT
IF USED IMPROPERLY. If the products described above are used to clean Stryker EMS equipment, measures
must be taken to insure the cots are wiped with clean water and thoroughly dried following cleaning. Failure to
properly rinse and dry the cots will leave a corrosive residue on the surface of the cots, possibly causing premature
corrosion of critical components.
• Failure to properly clean or dispose of contaminated mattress or other cot components will increase the risk of
bloodborne pathogens and may cause injury to the patient or operator.
• Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin causing serious injury. Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure
before disconnecting hydraulic or other lines. Tighten all connections before applying pressure. If an accident
occurs, see a doctor immediately. Any fluid injected into the skin must be surgically removed within a few hours or
gangrene may result. Doctors unfamiliar with this type of injury should reference a knowledgeable medical source.
• To avoid the risk of injury, do not use bare hands to check for hydraulic leaks.
• Medical electrical equipment requires special precautions regarding EMC and needs to be installed and put into
service according to the EMC information provided on
mobile RF communication equipment can affect Medical Electrical Equipment.
• Explosion Hazard - Do not use cot in presence of flammable anesthetics.
CAUTION
• When charging a battery in an ambulance, locate the charger in an enclosed cabinet and out of patient reach
during transport.
• The unit must be in its lowest position to properly engage the cot fastener (not included). To ensure that the cot
is in the lowest position, press the retract (-) button until the cot stops moving down. This should be done before
attempting to engage the cot into the cot fastener (not included).
• To reduce the risk of damage to the cot or cot fastener, do not attempt to activate the cot height activation while
it is engaged in the cot fastener (not included).
• Before operating the cot, clear any obstacles that may interfere and cause injury to the operator or patient.
• Remove the battery if the cot is not going to be used for an extended period of time (more than 24 hours).
• Only use the battery and charger as specified.
• The cot is not for use with an AC adapter.
• Ensure that the battery is fully charged prior to placing into service. An uncharged or depleted battery may cause
poor cot performance.
• Ensure that the restraints are not entangled in the base frame when raising and lowering the cot.
• Never operate the cot with the head section or foot section in an unlocked position.
• Wheel lock(s) are only intended to help prevent the cot from rolling while unattended and to aid in patient transfer.
A wheel lock may not provide sufficient resistance on all surfaces or under loads.
