Before operating the S3™ MedSurg Bed, Model 3002 Patriot™ Series, it is important to read and understand all
information in this manual. Carefully read and strictly follow the safety guidelines listed on this page. It is important
that all users have been trained and educated on the inherent hazards associated with the usage of electric beds.
WARNING
• Powered bed mechanisms can cause serious injury. Operate bed only with persons clear of mechanisms.
• Danger: Explosion hazard. Do not use in the presence of flammable anesthetics.
• Always apply the caster brakes when a patient is getting on or off the bed.
• Always keep the caster brakes applied when a patient is on the bed (except during transport). After the brake
pedal is applied, push on the bed to ensure the brakes are locked. Serious injury could result if the bed moves
while a patient is getting in or out of bed.
• Ensure the brakes are completely released prior to moving the unit. Attempting to move the unit with the brakes
actuated could result in injury to the user and/or patient.
• Do not attempt to move the foot end of the bed laterally when the steer pedal is activated. When the steer pedal
is activated, the steer caster at the foot end of the bed cannot swivel. Attempting to move the bed laterally when
the steer pedal is activated may cause injury to the user.
• The S3™ MedSurg Bed, Model 3002 Patriot™ Series is not intended for use with patients less than two years of
age.
• Serious injury can result if caution is not used when operating the unit. Operate the unit only when all persons are
clear of the electrical and mechanical systems.
• To help reduce the number and severity of falls by patients, always leave the bed in the lowest position when the
patient is unattended.
• When attaching equipment to the frame, ensure it will not impede normal frame operation. For example: hooks
on hanging equipment must not actuate control buttons, equipment must not hide the nurse call button, foley bags
must not rest on brake pedal, etc. Use only a Stryker supplied interface cable. Use of any other cable may cause
the bed to function improperly, which may result in patient or user injury.
• The S3™ MedSurg Bed, Model 3002 Patriot™ Series is equipped with a hospital grade plug for protection against
electric shock hazard. It must be plugged directly into a properly grounded three prong receptacle. Grounding
reliability can be achieved only when a hospital grade receptacle is used.
• When raising the siderails, listen for the “click”. When raising the siderail, the first click will indicate you can return
to the intermediate position, the second click indicates the full up position. Once in position, move the siderail
from side to side to ensure it is locked into position. Siderails are not intended to be a patient restraint device. It
is the responsibility of attending medical personnel to determine the degree of restraint and the siderail positioning
to ensure a patient will remain safely in bed.
• The Bed Exit System is intended only to aid in the detection of a patient exiting the unit. It is NOT intended
to replace patient monitoring protocol. The bed exit system signals when a patient is about to exit. Adding or
subtracting objects from the frame after zeroing the weigh system may cause a reduction in the sensitivity of the
bed exit system.
• Before servicing or cleaning the bed, always unplug the bed power cord from the wall socket and push the battery
power on/off switch to the “OFF” position (if applicable). When working under a bed in the high position, always
place blocks under the litter frame and apply the brakes to prevent injury in case the Bed Down switch is accidently
pressed.
• To avoid pinching your fingers, place the I.V. pole in the upright position before using the drive handle.
• When using any mattress and/or mattress overlay that increases the overall height greater than 6,” extra caution
and/or operator supervision is required to help reduce the likelihood of a patient fall occurring.
• When a Patient’s condition (such as disorientation due to medication or clinical condition) could lead to patient
entrapment, the mattress support platform should be left in the flat position while the patient is unattended (except
when required otherwise my medical staff for special or particular circumstances).
• Trendelenburg is not easily achievable when mains voltage has been interrupted.
• Medical electrical equipment (i.e. Optional Scale System) requires special precautions regarding EMC and needs
to be installed and put into service according to the EMC information provided on page 70 to prevent equipment
malfunction.
• Portable and mobile RF communication equipment can affect Medical Electrical Equipment (i.e. Optional Scale
System).
Summary of Safety Precautions

12 3006 -109-101 REV A www.stryker.com
Return To Table of Contents
• To avoid malfunction, the Optional Scale System should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment.
If adjacent or stacked use is necessary, the Optional Scale System should be observed to verify normal operation
in the configuration in which it will be used.
To avoid possible injury and to assure proper operation when using model number 2750, 2920, 2950 or 2981 mattress:
• Confirm proper scale system operation following mattress installation. For best results, secure the therapy mattress
power cord to prevent damage to the cord or interference with the bed frame and the scale system.
• Do not zero bed scales or weigh patient with Percussion, Vibration, Rotation or Turn Assist active. Patient motion
and position resulting from the dynamic therapy mattress may adversely affect scale system performance.
• Do no initialize (“arm”) bed exit with Percussion, Vibration, Rotation or Turn Assist active. The patient motion and
position resulting from the dynamic therapy mattress may adversely affect bed exit system performance.
• When using an XPRT (2950), Position PRO (2920), Impression (2981) or Symmetric Aire (2750) mattress, extra
caution and/or operator supervision is required to help reduce the likelihood of a patient fall occurring.
CAUTION
• Unplug bed during service or cleaning.
• When large spills occur in the area of the circuit boards, 120 volt cables and motors, immediately unplug the bed
power cord from the wall socket. Remove the patient from the bed and clean up the fluid. Have maintenance com-
pletely check the bed. Fluids can affect the operational capabilities of any electrical product. DO NOT put the bed
back into service until it is completely dry and has been thoroughly tested for safe operation.
• Preventative maintenance should be performed at a minimum of annually to ensure all bed features are functioning
properly. Close attention should be given to safety features including, but not limited to, safety side latching mechanisms,
frayed electrical cords and components, all electrical controls returning to the off or neutral position when released,
caster braking systems, no controls or cabling entangled in bed mechanisms, leakage current 300 μA (microamps)
maximum, scale and bed exit systems calibrated properly, and the siderail gas spring not leaking oil.
• Because individual beds may have different options, footboards should not be moved from one bed to another.
Mixing footboards could result in unpredictable bed operation.
• The lockout buttons on the footboard lock the Fowler, Gatch and Bed Up/Down functions and prevent motion of the
bed. It is the responsibility of attending medical personnel to determine whether these functions should be locked
and to use the buttons accordingly.
• The maximum safe working load for each I.V. pole is 40 pounds.
• I.V. Poles should not be used as a bed push/pull device.
• Scale function may be affected by siderail/caster interference. With the litter fully lowered or lowered in Reverse
Trendelenburg, the siderails tucked under the litter in the storage position and the casters turned, there is the
potential for interference between the siderail and the caster. Raise the siderails when lowering the litter to the full
down position to prevent the interference from causing the scale system to weigh inaccurately.
• The use of a mattress overlay may reduce the effectiveness of the siderail.
• The cleanliness and integrity of both ground chains must be maintained to minimize static build up and discharge.
• Do not add or remove weight when the bed exit system is armed.
• There is a possible fire hazard when using half bed length type oxygen administering equipment. Ensure the
siderails are outside of the tent.
• There is a possible fire hazard when used with oxygen administering equipment of other than the nasal or mask
type. Lock the control at foot of bed when using oxygen administering equipment.
• The weight of the foley bags placed on isolated bag hooks should not exceed five pounds.
• The weight of pumps placed on footboard pump holder should not exceed 45 pounds.
• The safe working load of the defibrillator tray is 40 lbs.
• The safe working load of the oxygen holder is 45 lbs.
• Bed may be equipped with an integrated scale intended to weigh the patient in bed. If the scale output is being
used to determine diagnosis and treatment, please consult with a medical professional and/or additional weight
references.
• Scale accuracy specifications do not apply for patients under 20 lbs.

Summary of Safety Precautions
IBED®AWARENESS OPTION
In addition to the previous warnings and cautions, all of the following warnings and cautions apply to units equipped
with the iBed®Awareness option.
WARNING
• The optional iBed®Awareness system only indicates the siderail position, it does NOT indicate if the siderail is
locked. It is the caregiver’s responsibility to ensure that the siderails are locked after every move and also before
leaving a patient in the room.
• The optional iBed®Awareness system indicator lights are only an aid to the caregiver, and in no way replace the
caregiver’s responsibility of checking on patients. Caregivers should not rely on the lights to perform their duties.
• Before arming the optional iBed®Awareness system, the nurse must physically verify that the siderails are locked.
CAUTION
• If the optional iBed®Awareness system is being used, ensure the bed is in the desirable state (iBed®Awareness
ON and with the light green) before leaving the room.
• If the optional iBed®Awareness system is being used and the iBed®Awareness is alerting, do not turn off iBed®
Awareness as the display information to troubleshoot the bed will get lost.
• If the optional iBed®Awareness system is being used, use of accessories that cover the center and side alert lights
at the footboard are not recommended.
iBED®WIRELESS OPTION
In addition to the previous warnings and cautions, all of the following warnings and cautions apply to units equipped
with the iBed®Wireless option.
WARNING
• The optional iBed®Wireless function provides remote information of bedside information to aid the caregiver. In
no way does this option replace the caregiver’s responsibility of checking on patients. Caregivers should not rely
only on the remote information to perform their duties.
• The iBed Locator must be correctly associated or mapped to the room / location in order to provide accurate
location information. Failure to properly map the iBed Locator to the room / location will yield incorrect remote
information. Additionally, if an iBed Locator is to be moved after it has been installed and mapped, it must be re-
mapped to the new room / location in which it is moved to. iBed Locator re-mapping will also be required if the
room / location information is changed after initial installation.
• Line of sight between iBed Locator and the head end of bed must be free of obstruction at all times. Any line
of sight interference could impede communication and cause the room / location information not to be available.
• iBed®Wireless compatible footboard must be used for all iBed®Wireless beds. Some iBed®Wireless functionality
will be lost if an older version of the footboard is used.
• iBed®Wireless functionality shall be verified after installation. Failure to do may result loss of remote information
or wrong remote information. At a minimum, verify iBed locator communication with bed in all bed positions, and
iBed®Wireless communication with the wireless access point.
• iBed Locators must be installed more than 71” apart from one another in the same room, such as in a semi-private
room with more than one bed. Failure to do so could result in a bed communicating with the other adjacent iBed
Locator, thus providing incorrect bed location information.
CAUTION
• Wireless bed only transmits bed information and not nurse call information. The wireless bed is not intended to
replace the existing nurse call system.

The LED lights located on the outside of the head end siderails and on the foot end control panel will blink when the
brakes are not engaged only if the bed is plugged into a wall socket or is running on battery power (page 22 & page
30). The brakes will still operate properly when the bed is not plugged in.
STEER PEDAL OPERATION
When the bed is moved, the steer caster helps guide the bed along a straight line and helps the bed pivot around
corners.
To activate the steer caster, move the pedal located at the head
end of the bed to your right as shown on the label.
Note
For proper “tracking” of the steer caster, push the bed approximately 10 feet to allow the wheels to face the direction of
travel before engaging the steer pedal. If this is not done, proper “tracking” will not occur and the bed will be difficult
to steer.
WARNING
Do not attempt to move the foot end of the bed laterally when the steer pedal is activated. When the steer pedal is
activated, the steer caster at the foot end of the bed cannot swivel. Attempting to move the bed laterally when the
steer pedal is activated may cause injury to the user.

CPR EMERGENCY RELEASE
When quick access to the patient is needed, and the Fowler (head of bed) is raised, squeeze one of the two release
handles (marked by the red CPR label) and the fowler can quickly be guided down to a flat position.
Note
The handle can be released at any time to stop the Fowler from lowering.
FOOT PROP USAGE
The foot prop causes the foot end of the Knee Gatch to rise
when the Gatch button is used to raise the Gatch. To lower
the foot end of the Gatch, release the prop by grasping the
end of the Knee Gatch, lifting upward and swinging the prop
(A) toward the head end of the bed which will disengage the
prop stop.
WARNING
To avoid injury while cleaning or servicing under the foot
section, secure the foot section with string or bungee cords or
hold it up out of the way.
FRACTURE FRAME USAGE
A standard fracture frame can be mounted on the bed using the I.V. sockets located on all four corners of the bed. I.V.
poles can be used in conjunction with a fracture frame if the I.V. pole adaptor sockets are purchased.
WARNING
Use only retractable traction or fracture frames. Failure to use a retractable frame may result in injury to the patient
and/or damage to the equipment.
FOLEY BAG HOOKS USAGE
The standard foley bag hooks are found at four locations (on each side of the bed); below the seat (middle) section
and at the extreme foot end of the frame. Optional isolated foley bag hooks can be purchased and are located at the
foot end of the bed under the frame. The patient weight reading on the scale system is not affected when the optional
isolated foley bag hooks are used.
Patient Restraint Strap Locations
The bed has 10 locations for installing patient restraint straps on the litter top, five on each side of the bed.
WARNING
Improperly adjusted restraint straps can cause serious injury to a patient. The clinician must use her/his judgement
to determine proper use of restraint straps and restraint strap locations. Clean Velcro AFTER EACH USE. Saturate
Velcro with disinfectant and allow disinfectant to evaporate. (Appropriate disinfectant for nylon Velcro should be
determined by the hospital.)

POSITIONING SIDERAILS
• The siderails can be locked at two heights (intermediate & full up).
• The siderails can slide in towards the bed when not in use. To remove the rail from the tucked position, grasp the
top of the rail and pull outward.
• To raise head end siderail to full height position, grasp the rail and swing it upward until it locks in place (two clicks
are heard).
Note: When the siderail is being raised, it does not lock in the intermediate position unless it is
brought back after the first click.
• To lower the siderail and lock in intermediate position, pull outward on the siderail release handle (A) and rotate
the siderail down toward the head end of the bed until it locks at the intermediate position.
• To lower the siderail in its full down position, pull outward on the release handle (A) and rotate the siderail
downward toward the head end of the bed until it is completely lowered.
• To raise and lower the foot end siderail, the same procedures are required as for the head end siderail, however,
the siderail swings toward the foot end of the bed.
WARNING
• Be sure the siderail is locked securely into position.
• Siderails in a full up or intermediate position are
not intended to keep patients from exiting the
bed. They are designed to keep a patient from
inadvertently rolling off the bed. Proper restraint
methods should be utilized to ensure the patient
remains in the bed.
• The intermediate position is only intended to assist
patients and users when getting in or out of the bed
in addition to assisting in positioning themselves in
the bed.
• The Intermediate position should not be used in
place of the full up position.
• The siderails are not intended to be used as a push
device.
To disengage the rail, pull outward on release handle (A) and swing the rail down to the desired height (intermediate
or full down). When storing siderails, ensure they are at a full down position.
CONTROL PANEL LIGHTS
The bed is equipped with lights to illuminate the head end siderail control panel and the red nurse call switches.
Both can be activated at the footboard control panel. Five settings are available for the control panel lights: Off, Low
Intensity, Medium Intensity, High Intensity and Nurse Call Only.
To change the control panel light settings, press the “Menu” button on the footboard. Scroll down through the menu
items and select “Backlight” then press “Enter”. Select the desired setting by highlighting it and then pressing “Enter”.
