Stryker Intouch Critical Care Bed Mode D'emploi page 9

• Always wash your hands after handling a battery. Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead
compounds, chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Properly dispose of batteries when required.
• Power save mode activates after one hour on battery power with no motion release switch activation. Bed exit, scale,
and product motion stop operating when the product enters the power save mode.
• Always keep feet clear from the area above the base cover or below the base cover when you lower the product or when
you apply or release the brakes.
• Always apply the brakes when a patient is getting in or out of the product to avoid instability.
• Always apply the brakes when the patient is unattended.
• Do not apply the brake to slow or stop the product while it is in motion.
• Always lock the siderails in the highest height position with the sleep surface horizontal in the lowest position when you
transport a patient.
• Do not use the Z Z o o o o m m motorized drive when the batteries become discharged. Press N N / / B B r r a a k k e e O O f f f f to place the drive
wheel in neutral and push the product manually. Recharge the batteries before you use the Z Z o o o o m m motorized drive again
to avoid the risk of battery damage and the drive wheel getting stuck in the down position.
• Use caution while you maneuver the product with the drive wheel activated. Always make sure that there are no
obstacles near the product while the Z Z o o o o m m motorized drive is activated. Injury to the patient, user, bystanders, or
damage to the frame or surrounding equipment could occur if you collide with an obstacle.
• Make sure that the brakes are completely released before you attempt to move the product. Attempting to move the
product with the brakes applied could result in injury to the patient or operator.
• Do not attempt to move the product manually when you activate the Z Z o o o o m m motorized drive. Always place the drive
wheel into the neutral position and release the brakes before you attempt to move the product manually.
• Do not attempt to move the product laterally after you apply the Z Z o o o o m m motorized drive. The Z Z o o o o m m motorized drive
cannot swivel.
• Do not use the brake to slow or stop the product while it is in motion.
• Always make sure that all persons and equipment are away from the area below and around the product before you
activate the CPR release. The CPR release is for emergency use only.
• Always determine the proper use of the restraint straps and restraint strap locations. Improperly adjusted restraint straps
can cause serious injury to a patient. Stryker is not responsible for the type or use of restraint straps on any of Stryker's
products.
• Only use hospital-grade electric equipment consuming 5A or less with the auxiliary power outlet option. The use of
standard electric equipment may bring the current leakage to a level unacceptable for hospital equipment.
• Always lock the siderails in the highest height position with the sleep surface horizontal in the lowest position. Always
lock the siderails unless a patient's condition requires extra safety measures.
• Do not use siderails as restraint devices to keep the patient from exiting the product. The design of the siderails keep the
patient from rolling off the product. The operator must determine the degree of restraint necessary to make sure that the
patient is safe. Failure to use the siderails as intended could result in serious patient injury.
• Always keep the siderails outside of the oxygen tent.
• The scale system is intended to assist in the monitoring of the patient's weight variation. Under no circumstances should
the scale reading be used as sole reference for medical treatment.
• Bed exit is intended only to aid in the detection of a patient exiting the product. It is not intended to replace patient
monitoring protocol.
• Bed exit is not designed to be used with patients weighing less than 50 lb (23 kg).
• Do not use extension cords with support surfaces. Support surfaces are only intended to be powered by I I n n T T o o u u c c h h with
the supplied power cord.
• Do not route cables between the support surface and I I n n T T o o u u c c h h .
• Do not exceed the safe working load of the I I s s o o l l i i b b r r i i u u m m support surface. Excess weight could cause unpredictable safety
and performance of this system.
• Always center the patient on the support surface. Align the patient's head toward the headboard before starting
functions. Check the patient frequently to make sure that you maintain the proper positioning.
• Always make sure that the tubing and wiring that is connected to the patient is long enough, stable, and secure during
Lateral Rotation or Turn Assist.
• Always raise all of the bed siderails before you begin Turn Assist or Lateral Rotation.
• Always use extra caution when reading radiology images taken of a patient on a support surface because internal
components can cause artifacts and distort readings.
