SAFETY TIPS AND GUIDELINES
Before operating the Stryker FIRSTCARE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
The Stryker FIRSTCAREis equipped with a hospital grade plug for protection against 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.
Powered bed mechanisms can cause serious injury. Operate bed only when all persons are clear of the
mechanisms.
To help reduce the number and severity of falls by patients, always leave the bed in the lowest position
when the patient is unattended.
Leave 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.
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.
The 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 section of the bed or serious
personal injury or damage to the equipment could occur.
When 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.
Do 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. Expose to fluids may cause injury
to patient and/or user.
Preventative maintenance should be performed biannually to ensure all bed features are functioning as
designed. 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 return to off or neutral position when released,
Caster braking system,
No controls or cabling entangled in bed mechanisms,
Leakage current 100 MA max.
For additional maintenance information, refer to your maintenance manual.
Always 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.
Unplug 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.

Unpacking and Initial Set–Up Procedures

UNPACKING INSTRUCTIONS
Refer to unpacking instructions attached to the bed inside the crate.
SET–UP PROCEDURES
It is important that the Stryker FIRSTCAREUltra Maternity Bed is working properly before it is put into service.
The following list will help ensure that each part of the bed is tested.
Plug the bed into a properly grounded, hospital grade wall receptacle.
WARNING
The FIRSTCAREUltra is equipped with a hospital grade plug for protection against 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.
Ensure the siderails raise and lower smoothly and lock in the up position.
Ensure that the brakes hold when the brake pedal is engaged.
Run through each function on the hand pendant to ensure that each function is working properly.
Beds equipped with nurse communication siderail control option only:
Plug the interface cable into the 37 pin connector in the litter frame at the head end of the bed, and into
the ”Patient Station”, ”Head Wall”, ”Docker Station”, or equivalent (whichever applies).
Run through each function on the siderail control panels to ensure that each function is working properly.
NOTE
To prevent a low battery condition when the bed is not plugged in, position the cord out switch at the head
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.
NOTE
The FIRSTCAREUltra is classified by Underwriters Laboratories Inc.with respect to electric shock, fire and
mechanical hazards only in accordance with UL 2601–1 and 2601–2–38.
The use of ACCESSORY equipment not complying with the equivalent safety requirements of this equipment
may lead to a reduced level of safety of the resulting system. Consideration relating to the choice shall in-
clude: –use of the accessory in the PATIENT VICINITY
–evidence that the safety certification of the ACCESSORY has been performed in accordance to
