SAFETY TIPS AND GUIDELINES
Before operating the Stryker Adel Maternity Bed, 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
SThe Stryker Adel Maternity Bed is equipped with a hospital grade plug for protection against shock haz-
ard. 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.
SPowered bed mechanisms can cause serious injury. Operate bed only when all persons are clear of the
mechanisms.
STo help reduce the number and severity of falls by patients, always leave the bed in the lowest position
when the patient is unattended.
SLeave the siderails fully up and locked when the patient is unattended. When raising the siderails, listen
for the ”click”that indicates the siderail has locked into the up position. Pull firmly on the siderail to ensure
it is locked into position. Siderails are not intended to be a patient restraint device. It is the responsibility
of the attending medical personnel to determine the degree of restraint necessary to ensure a patient will
remain safely in bed.
SAlways 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). Serious injury could result if the bed moves
while a patient is getting in or out of bed. After the brake pedal is applied, push on the bed to ensure the
brakes are locked. When moving the bed, toggle the steer pedal to put the bed in the steer mode. This
locks the swivel motion of the right foot end caster and makes the bed easier to move.
SThe instant CPR release is for emergency use only. When activating the instant CPR, all persons and
equipment must be removed from the area below and around the Fowler (back rest) section of the bed
or serious personal injury or damage to the equipment could occur.
SWhen large spills occur in the area of the circuit boards, 110 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 completely check the bed. Fluids can have an affect on operational capabilities of any elec-
trical product. DO NOT put the bed back into service until it is completely dry and has been thoroughly
tested for safe operation.
SDo not steam clean or hose off the bed. Do not immerse any part of the bed. The internal electric parts
may be damaged by exposure to water. Hand wash all surfaces of the bed with warm water and mild
detergent. Dry thoroughly. Inspect the mattress cover after each use. Discontinue use if any cracks or
rips are found in the cover which may allow fluids to enter the mattress. Exposure to fluids may cause
injury to patient and/or user.
SPreventative maintenance should be performed at a minimum of annually to ensure all bed features are
functioning as designed. Close attention should be given to safety features including, but not limited to:
SSafety side latching mechanisms, SCaster braking system,
SFrayed electrical cords and components, SLeakage current 100 MA max.
SNo controls or cabling entangled in bed mechanisms,
SAll electrical controls return to off or neutral position when released,
SFor additional maintenance information, refer to your maintenance manual.
SAlways unplug bed during service or cleaning. When working under the bed with the bed in the high posi-
tion, always place blocks under the litter frame and set the brakes to prevent injury in case the Bed Down
switch is accidently pressed.
SUnplug the bed power cord from the wall socket before using the hand crank. Remove the hand crank
before plugging the power cord into the wall socket or personal injury could result.

end of the bed to the off position. The switch is identified by the label shown below. If the switch is not posi-
tioned as shown below and the bed power cord and pendant cord are unplugged, the life of the back−up bat-
tery will be significantly reduced.
If the siderail lights LED (located on the outside of both siderails) is flashing, the Nurse Call battery needs
to be replaced. The battery is located on the patient’s right side at the head end of the bed. No tools are
required to replace the battery. Unplug the bed power cord from the wall socket and replace the battery. After
replacing the battery, verify the siderail lights LED is no longer flashing and operates normally when the differ-
ent light settings are selected.

15
Operating Bed Features
NIGHT LIGHT USAGE
The bed is equipped with a night light to illuminate the floor area around the bed. There is a switch on the
light to turn it on and off.
OPERATING THE GLIDEAWAY FOOT SECTION/ATTACHABLE CALF SUPPORTS
SRotate the foot rest into position by pulling it out and up over the foot end mattress until it clicks into place.
Ensure the foot rest is securely locked in the upright position by grasping and attempting to move it.
SAfter they are in position, the foot rests are adjustable six ways:
1. Abduct/Adduct (pivoting)
Pivoting in and out allows the clinician to position the patient’s feet and legs at the desired width. Pull down
on the knob located below the foot mattress. Pivot the foot rest into the desired position and release the
knob to lock the foot rest into place.
2. In/Out
The in/out motion allows patients of different heights to be accommodated comfortably. Pull the lever
marked with the PULL label to increase the distance of the foot rest from the Perineal edge. Release
the lever when the foot rest is in the desired position.
3. Height
The foot end high/low adjustment allows the foot end of the bed to be positioned 6”below the top of the
seat mattress to accommodate different sized patients when the foot rest or calf supports are being used.
STo store the foot rests, loosen the ball screws on the self−storing calf supports (if used). Ensure the foot
rests are pointing toward the end of the bed. Pull the lever marked “PULL”located at the bottom of the
foot rest support and the foot rest will glide under the foot mattress.
REMOVING THE FOOT SECTION MATTRESS
Before removing the foot mattress, put the foot rests into position above the foot mattress. Place the patient’s
feet in the contoured foot rests. To remove the foot mattress, pull up on the red release handle on either side
of the mattress and slide the mattress straight off the bed.
NOTE
If the foot section mattress is placed with the perineal edge toward the floor, it will stand independently.
To reinstall the foot section of the bed, set the foot mattress back on the bed and slide it straight in until it locks
into place. Pull on the handles to ensure it is securely installed.
OPTIONAL LUMBAR PILLOW AND PERINEAL WEDGE
SUse the one−touch lumbar and seat buttons on the siderail to adjust the amount of support given to the
patient’s lumbar and seat areas if the bed is equipped with this option.
NOTE
Be sure the locating pins on the underside of the mattress are inserted in the holes in the steel seat support.

Quaternary Germicidal Disinfectants, used as directed, and/or Chlorine Bleach products, typically 5.25% So-
dium Hypochlorite in dilutions ranging between 1 part bleach to 100 parts water, and 2 parts bleach
to 100 parts water are not considered mild detergents. These products are corrosive in nature and
may cause damage to your stretcher if used improperly. If these types of products are used to clean
Stryker patient handling equipment, measures must be taken to insure the stretchers are rinsed with clean
water and thoroughly dried following cleaning. Failure to properly rinse and dry the stretchers will leave a cor-
rosive residue on the surface of the stretcher, possibly causing premature corrosion of critical components.
