Only use oxygen administering equipment of the nasal, mask or ventilator type, or oxygen tents that can be contained
within the perimeter of the siderails in the stretcher. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or equipment
damage.
WARNING:
Operate the stretcher within the stated environmental conditions, see “Specifications” on page 3. Failure to do so could
result in patient injury or equipment damage.
Transport
CAUTION:
Before moving the stretcher, make sure that power cords, hoses and other equipment are properly stored. Failure to do
so could result in equipment damage.
CAUTION:
Do not push or pull the stretcher by IV poles, siderails or other equipment. Use the push handles located at the head or
foot of the stretcher.
Use only the transport handles (if installed) to move the stretcher. Failure to do so could result in equipment damage.
Make sure the patient, equipment, and all lines are securely placed within the perimeter of the stretcher for intra-hospital
transport. Patients should only be transported with the foot end of the stretcher facing forward.
Fully extended IV poles could impact doorways or ceiling fixtures. IV Poles should be lowered prior to patient transport.
Sleep Surface/Mattress
WARNING:
Sleep surface impermeability could be affected by needle sticks. Caregivers should be instructed to avoid punctures
caused by improper use of x-ray cassette holders and/or needle sticks. Failure to do so could result in cross-infection and
patient injury.
