PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Stryker Model 6506 Power-PRO™ XT is a powered ambulance cot that consists of a platform mounted on a
wheeled X-frame designed to support and transport a maximum weight of 700 lb (318 kg) in pre-hospital and hospital
environments. The device is collapsible for use in emergency vehicles and has an adjustable load height feature to
allow the device to be set to different ambulance deck heights for proper body mechanics during loading and unloading.
The NiCd battery-powered hydraulic lift system allows operators to raise and lower the cot using the powered controls,
while duplicate foot-end controls on the upper and lower lift bars accommodate different operator positions or sizes.
The cot is equipped with a manual back-up release handle to allow the operation of cot functions in the event of
power loss. The device is equipped with the following: a retractable head section for 360-degree mobility in any height
position, side rails, patient securement straps, an adjustable pneumatic backrest and various optional accessories that
assist with transport of the patient. Maximum patient comfort is attainable with the three different litter positions of
shock, flat leg and optional knee gatch positioning.
