Summary of safety precautions
Always read and strictly follow the warnings and cautions listed on this page. Service only by qualified personnel.
WARNING
•
Always keep your hands clear of the red safety bar pivots when you load, unload, or change the height position of
the cot.
•
Always use both hands when you transport the cot.
•
Power-PRO
with the
Power-LOAD
compatibility option operates primarily at these frequencies: 70 - 85 kHz for
inductive charging and 13.56 MHz±7 kHz, Amplitude Modulated (OOK), ERP: -82.37 dBm. The inductive charging
can operate between these frequencies: 70 - 125 kHz. Other equipment may interfere with the
Power-LOAD
system,
even if that other equipment complies with CISPR emission requirements.
•
Always install the in-fastener shut-off system in any emergency vehicle that will be used with this cot if using an
antler style cot fastener.
•
Install the cot fastener by qualified personnel only. Improper installation could result in injury to the patient or
operator.
•
Always make sure that all cots meet the installation specifications for the Stryker cot fastener system.
•
Always position the in-fastener shut-off before you place the cot into service.
•
Do not attempt to operate the cot when it is loaded into a cot fastener.
•
Always use the in-fastener shut-off to disable the electronic functionality only. Do not use the in-fastener shut-off for
any other purpose.
•
Do not remove the battery when the cot is active.
•
Always operate the cot only when all persons are clear of the mechanisms. Entanglement in powered cot
mechanisms can cause serious injury.
•
Always inspect
SMRT
Paks for damage before every use.
•
Do not allow untrained assistants to assist in the operation of the product.
•
Do not ride on the base of the cot.
•
Do not transport the cot sideways to avoid the risk of tipping. Always transport the cot in a lowered position, head end
or foot end first to minimize the risk of tipping.
•
Always conduct patient monitoring when the cot is idle. If you hydraulically raise or lower the product you may
temporarily affect electronic patient monitoring equipment.
•
Do not leave a patient unattended. Hold the product while a patient is on the product.
•
Do not apply a wheel lock when a patient is on the product or when you move the product to avoid the risk of tipping.
•
Do not use siderails as a patient restraint device.
•
Always transport the cot at a lower height to reduce the risk of a cot tip. If possible, obtain additional assistance or
take an alternate route.
•
Always avoid high obstacles, such as curbing, steps, or rough terrain to avoid the risk of the product tipping over.
•
Always use
Power-LOAD
with the 6085/6086
Performance-PRO
XT, 6500/6506
Power-PRO
XT, and 6510/6516
Power-PRO
IT cots with the
Power-LOAD
option only. In certain situations, you can use
Power-LOAD
as a standard
antler for most X-frame cots, but a rail clamp assembly is required for all cots without the
Power-LOAD
option.
•
Always make sure that you use a
Power-LOAD
date of manufacture cot with the Stryker Model 6390
Power-LOAD
system to avoid the risk of injury.
•
Always support the load of the patient, cot, and accessories after the weight is off of the ground.
•
Do not pull or lift on the cot safety bar when you unload the cot.
•
Always lock the head section into place before you operate the cot.
•
Do not load the cot into a vehicle with the head section retracted when using a cot fastener. The cot may tip or not
connect with the cot fastener.
•
Do not install or apply a wheel lock on a product with worn wheels that are less than 6 in. diameter.
