Stryker Power-PRO IT Manual De Uso Y Mantenimiento página 19

WARNING (CONTINUED)
• Never apply the optional wheel locks while a patient is on the cot. Tipping could occur if the cot is moved while the
wheel lock is applied, resulting in injury to the patient or operator and/or damage to the cot.
• Hydraulically raising or lowering the cot may temporarily affect electronic patient monitoring equipment. For best
results, patient monitoring should be conducted when the cot is idle.
• High obstacles such as curbing, steps or rough terrain can cause the cot to tip, possibly causing injury to the
patient or operator.
• Transporting the cot in lower positions reduces the potential of a cot tip. If possible, obtain additional assistance
or take an alternate route.
• Power-LOAD is designed to be compatible with the 6085/6086 Performance-PRO XT, 6500/6516 Power-PRO™ XT,
and 6510/6516 Power-PRO™ IT cots with the Power-LOAD option only. In certain situations, you can use Power-
LOAD as a standard antler for most X-frame cots, but a rail clamp assembly is required for all cots without the
Power-LOAD option.
• It is the responsibility of the cot operator to ensure that the cot being used in the Stryker Model 6390 Power-LOAD™
system is a Power-LOAD compatible cot. Injury may result if a non-compatible cot is used in the Stryker Model
6390 Power-LOAD system.
• Whenever the weight of the cot and patient is no longer supported by the wheels, the cot will automatically enter
the high speed retract mode if the retract (–) button is pressed.
• After the weight is off of the ground, the operators must support the load of the patient, cot and any accessories.
Failure to support the load properly may cause injury to the patient or operator.
• Two operators must be present when the cot is occupied.
• Operators must be able to lift the total weight of the patient, cot and any items on the cot.
• The higher an operator must lift the cot, the more difficult it becomes to hold the weight. An operator may need
help loading the cot if he/she is too short or if the patient is too heavy to lift safely. The operator must be able to
lift the cot high enough for the cot legs to unfold completely and lock when the cot is unloaded. A shorter operator
needs to raise their arms higher to enable the undercarriage to unfold.
• There must be a safety hook properly installed in the vehicle so that the bumper does not interfere with the front
legs of the base frame.
• When using a cot fastener, do not load the cot into the vehicle with the head section retracted. Loading the cot
with the head section retracted may cause the product to tip or not engage properly in the cot fastener, possibly
causing injury to the patient or operator and/or damage to the cot.
• The one person loading and unloading procedures are for use only with an empty cot. Do not use the procedures
when loading/unloading a patient. Injury to the patient or operator could result.
• Do not pull or lift on the safety bar when unloading the cot. Damage to the safety bar could result and injury to the
patient or operator could occur.
• Do not press the extend (+) button until the safety bar has engaged the safety hook.
• To avoid injury, always verify that the head section is locked into place prior to operating the cot.
• Do not attempt to load the cot into the patient compartment with the head section retracted. Loading the cot
with the head section retracted may cause the product to tip or not engage properly in the cot fastener, possibly
causing injury to the patient or operator and/or damage to the product.
• Never install or use a wheel lock on a cot with excessively worn wheels. Installing or using a wheel lock on a wheel
with less than a 6" diameter could compromise the holding ability of the wheel lock, possibly resulting in injury to
the patient or operator and/or damage to the cot or other equipment.
• These adaptors are intended for use only on the model 6516 Power-PRO™ IT cot. They are not intended for
installation on any other Stryker cot or on any cot from another manufacturer. Using these adaptors on any cot
other than the model 6516 Power-PRO™ IT cot may result in damage to the cot and /or injury to the patient or user.
• Verify that the adaptor is properly installed on the cot and the incubator is securely fastened to the adaptor prior
to use. An improperly attached adaptor or incubator may cause injury to the patient or user.
• The Airborne™ Side-by-Side Incubator adaptor (6516-128-000) is designed to secure only Airborne™ incubators to
the model 6516 Power-PRO™ IT cot. Using this adaptor on any cot other than the model 6516 Power-PRO™ IT
cot or using any unapproved incubators in this configuration may result in damage to the cot and/or injury to the
patient or user.
