Series Stretcher Service Manual (man115re)
Trendelenburg/Reverse Trendelenburg
The stretcher is mechanized to attain the Trendelenburg/Reverse
Trendelenburg by pressing the proper foot pedals located on either side and/or
at the foot end of the stretcher. Quick Trendelenburg can be achieved by
grasping the foot end of the stretcher and pulling up. A maximum of 18°
Trendelenburg/Reverse Trendelenburg can be achieved with the stretcher
raised to the high position. The fixed height stretcher does not have
Trendelenburg/Reverse Trendelenburg capability.
Siderails
The stretcher is equipped with full length siderails. The siderail opening can be
located at the foot or head end of the stretcher for the procedural, fixed height,
electric, or trauma stretchers. The siderail opening for the surgical stretcher is
located at the foot end only. The OB/GYN stretcher is equipped with three-
quarter length siderails, and the siderail opening is located at the foot end only.
The siderails retract and store within the confines of the stretcher, and can be
moved from the stored position to the upright position in one motion.
The siderails should always be in a full upright position and latched when a
patient is unattended. When raising the siderails, an audible
click
will indicate
that the siderail is completely raised and locked in place.
Siderails are intended to be a reminder,
not a patient retaining device.
Appropriate medical personnel should determine the level of restraint
necessary to ensure a patient will remain safely in bed. Consult the restraint
manufacturer’s instruction for use to verify the correct application of each
restraining device.
Bumpers
The stretcher is equipped with non-marring, rolling, disk bumpers at each
corner and a non-marring bumper running the length of each side, effective
whether the siderails are raised or stored.
OB/GYN Stretcher Headboard
The removable headboard assembly mounts in headboard sockets located at
the head end of the stretcher.
