WARNING:
Ensure that the patient grip handles are cleaned before each stretcher
use. Failure to do so could result in cross-contamination between
patients.
WARNING:
Adhere to the “Infection Control Policies and Procedures” outlined in the
Safety Coordinator Reference Guide
. Failure to do so could result in the
spread of infection.
WARNING:
Do not place any other part of the body or any equipment on the PACU
extender, or apply any unnecessary forces when it is in the armboard
position. Damage to equipment and personal injury could occur.
CAUTION:
Ensure that the siderail is supported on both ends. Damage to the
siderail bracket could occur if one end drops while the other end is
positioned in the siderail bracket.

pivot bracket is made of plastic. Damage to the bracket could occur.

new lower pivot bolt for the installation procedure, and hand start it.
Failure to do so could result in damage to the bolt hole threads.

The latch shoulder bolt has self-tapping threads. Ensure that you use a
new latch shoulder bolt for the installation procedure, and hand start it.
Failure to do so could result in damage to the bolt hole threads.
