WARNING (CONTINUED)
• Stryker is not responsible for specification or option changes to Air Sled compatible incubators.
• Use any appropriate personal safety equipment (goggles, respirator, etc.) to avoid the risk of inhaling contagion.
Use of power washing equipment can aerate contamination collected during the use of the cot.
• 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 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.
• To minimize the potential of a cot tip occurring, the stacked (6510-027-000) and side-by-side (6510-028-000)
configurations should not be exposed to inclines greater than five degrees when in positions other than the low
height (transport) position.
• To minimize the potential of a cot tip occurring, the side-by-side (6510-028-000) configuration should not be
exposed to inclines greater than ten degrees when in the low height (transport) position.
• Medical electrical equipment requires special precautions regarding EMC and needs to be installed and put into
service according to the EMC information provided on
• Portable and mobile RF communication equipment can affect Medical Electrical Equipment.
CAUTION
• The cot can be set at any cot load height position. Establish the required cot load height before placing the cot
into service.
• When charging a battery in an ambulance, locate the charger in an enclosed cabinet and out of patient reach
during transport.
• Set the cot load height to the proper stop height prior to operation.
• Installation of the safety hook should be done by a certified mechanic familiar with ambulance vehicle construction.
Consult the vehicle manufacturer before installing the safety hook and be sure that the installation of the safety
hook does not damage or interfere with the brake lines, oxygen lines, fuel lines, fuel tank or electrical wiring of
the vehicle.
• Before operating the cot, clear any obstacles that may interfere and cause injury to the operator or patient.
• Do not "jog" the cot past the established cot load height of the product when the safety bar engages the vehicle
safety hook or damage may occur to the product.
• When unloading the cot from the patient compartment, ensure that the caster wheels are safely set on the ground
or damage to the product may occur.
• Do not "jog" the cot past the load height while the safety bar is engaged.
• 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.
• When charging a battery in an ambulance, locate the charger in an enclosed cabinet and out of patient reach
during transport.
• Ensure that the battery is fully charged prior to placing into service. An uncharged or depleted battery may cause
poor cot performance.
• 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.
• The weight of the equipment in the head end storage flat (if equipped) must not exceed 40 pounds (18 kg).
