Description of Features
IV POLE MOUNTING SOCKETS
WARNING:
An IV Pole Mounting Socket is located at each corner of the stretcher.
MATTRESSES
WARNING:
Use mattresses that meet Amico specifications. Failure to do so could reduce the effectiveness
of the safety features and systems incorporated into the stretcher. Personal injury or equipment damage
could occur.
BRAKE / STEER PEDALS
WARNING:
The Brake/Steer Pedals are located at the foot end of the S-M-100 with a central brake system.
WARNING:
Unless transporting the patient, always set the brakes when the stretcher is occupied. Confirm
that the brakes are set before any patient transfer. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or
equipment damage.
• To set the brakes, press down on one of the black brake pedals. All four casters lock.
• To release the brakes, put the black pedal in the neutral position.
HEAD SECTION ARTICULATION
WARNING:
A surface position that causes the patient’s torso to be at an angle less than 90° to the legs
could reduce circulatory efficiency in the lower extremities. Such positions are not recommended for
extended periods of time and should be under medical supervision. Patient injury could occur.
WARNING:
Make sure to fully control the lift mechanism when there is little or no weight on it. Failure to
do so could cause it to rise quickly and cause personal injury or equipment damage.
