Before operating the Electric MedSurg Bed, Model FL23SE, it is important to read and understand all information in this
manual. Carefully read and strictly follow the safety guidelines listed below. It is important that all users have been trained
and educated on the inherent hazards associated with the usage of electric beds.
WARNINGS
• This bed is not intended for pediatric use.
• The mattress thickness should not exceed 6” (15,24 cm).
• Do not use an accessory that slides under the bed frame when the bed is in low position or remove it before lowering
the bed. Failure to conform to this safety precaution could result in serious patient injury and equipment damage.
• This bed is equipped with a hospital grade plug for protection against shock hazard. It must be plugged directly into
a properly grounded power source. Grounding reliability can be achieved only when a hospital grade power source
is used.
• Shock Hazard - Improper handling of the power cord may result in damage to the power cord and potential shock
hazards. If damage has occurred to the power cord, immediately remove the bed from service, and contact the
appropriate maintenance personnel. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death.
• Serious injury may result if caution is not used when operating the bed. Operate the bed only when all people and
equipment are clear of the electrical and mechanical systems.
• Always apply the brakes when a patient is on the bed or entering/exiting the bed. Serious injury could result if the
bed moves while a patient is getting on or off the bed. After the brake pedal is engaged, push on the bed to ensure
the brakes are securely applied.
• When the patient is unattended and unless the patient’s medical condition dictates otherwise, keep the sleep
surface horizontal in its lowest position and the siderails fully raised, except for beds equipped with half-length
siderails, in which case, the foot siderails should be left down to allow the patient to exit the bed.
• When raising the siderails, be sure that you hear the “click” that signals the locked condition. Pull firmly on the
siderail to ensure it is locked into position.
• When the sleep surface sections are articulated, ensure that all patient’s extremities are within the raised siderails
to avoid patient injury.
• When a patient’s condition requires greater safety measures for his/her security, lock the siderail controls using the
foot end lockout controls or remove any optional pendant control and install protective pads on the siderails.
• Siderails, with or without their padded covers, are not intended to serve as restraint devices to keep patients from
exiting the bed. Siderails are designed to keep a patient from inadvertently rolling off the bed. 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. Failure to use the siderails properly could result in serious patient injury.
• To reduce risk of injury, ensure the sleep surface is horizontal and in the lowest position with the siderails fully raised
and locked when moving the bed with a patient in it.
• To avoid injury to the patient and/or user, do not attempt to move the bed laterally with the steer mode engaged.
• The CPR emergency release (optional) is for emergency use only. To avoid serious injury, personal injury or
equipment damage, ensure all people and equipment are removed from the area below and around the head, thigh
and foot sections of the bed, before activating the CPR release handle.
• Possible fire hazard exists when this bed is used with oxygen administering equipment other than nasal or mask
type. It is recommended to unplug the bed power cord from the wall when oxygen administering equipment is used.
• When a large fluid spill occurs, immediately unplug the bed power cord from the wall outlet. Remove the patient from
the bed and clean up the fluid. Have maintenance completely check the bed. Fluids can have an adverse effect on
operational capabilities of any electrical product. Do not put the bed back into service until it is completely dried
and has been thoroughly tested for safe operation.
• Preventative maintenance should be performed at least once a year to ensure all bed features are operating properly.
Ensure that any bed malfunction is promptly reported to your service personnel for immediate attention.
• Always unplug the bed power cord from the power source when servicing or cleaning the bed. When working under
the bed with the bed in the high position, always place blocks under the mattress support frame and apply the brakes
to prevent injury in case the bed down control is accidentally pressed.
• To avoid damage to the siderail mechanisms, do not move the bed using the raised siderails. Use the head or foot
board to move the bed.
Summary of Safety Precautions

12 72-1114E MM FL23SE REV A www.stryker.com
Return To Table of Contents
WARNINGS (CONTINUED)
• Before using the optional emergency crank during a power failure, always unplug the power cord. An unexpected
return of power could rotate the handle and cause injury.
• When servicing, use only identical replacement parts provided by Stryker.
• Do not steam clean or hose off the Electric MedSurg Bed, Model FL23SE. Do not immerse any part of the bed.
Some of the internal parts of the bed are electric and may be damaged by exposure to water.
Note: Throughout this operations manual, the words “right” and “left” refer to the right and left sides of a patient lying
face up on the bed.

Return To Table of Contents
Static Discharge Precautions
The electronic circuits in the Electric MedSurg Bed, Model FL23SE are completely protected from static electricity
damage only while the bed is assembled. It is extremely important that all service personnel always use adequate static
protection when servicing the electronic systems of the bed. Whenever you are touching wires, you should be using
static protection.
Static Protection Equipment
The necessary equipment for proper static protection is:
• 1 static wrist strap; 3M part number 2214 or equivalent,
• 1 grounding plug; 3M part number 61038 or equivalent,
• 1 test lead with a banana plug on one end and an alligator clip on the other; Smith part number N132B699 or
equivalent.
CAUTION
All electronic service parts will be shipped in static shielding bags. Do not open the bags until you have completed steps
2 and 3 of the following procedure. Do not place unprotected circuit boards on the floor. All circuit boards to be returned
to Stryker Medical should be shipped in the static shielding bags the new boards were shipped in.
Static Protection Procedure
1. Unplug the power cord from the wall receptacle.
2. Insert the grounding plug into a properly grounded hospital grade wall receptacle. Plug the banana plug of the test
lead into the receptacle on the grounding plug. Connect the alligator clip on the other end of the test lead to a
ground point on the bed.
3. Place the static control wrist strap on your wrist. Connect the alligator clip at the other end of the wrist strap cord
to a ground point on the bed.

Cleaning
Hand wash all surfaces of the bed with warm water and mild detergent. Dry thoroughly. Do not steam clean or hose off
the Electric MedSurg Bed, Model FL23SE. Do not immerse any part of the bed. Some of the internal parts of the bed
are electric and may be damaged by exposure to water.
Suggested cleaners for bed surfaces:
Quaternary Cleaners (active ingredients - ammonium chloride)
Phenolic Cleaners (active ingredient - o-phenylphenol)
Chlorinated Bleach Solution (5.25% - less than 1 part bleach to 100 parts water)
Avoid over saturation and ensure the product does not stay wet longer than the chemical manufacturer’s guidelines for
proper disinfecting.
CAUTION
Some cleaning products are corrosive in nature and may cause damage to the product if used improperly. If the
products described above are used to clean Stryker patient care equipment, measures must be taken to ensure the beds
are wiped with a damp cloth soaked in clean water and thoroughly dried following cleaning. Failure to properly rinse and
dry the beds will leave a corrosive residue on the surface of the bed, possibly causing premature corrosion of critical
components. Failure to follow the above directions when using these types of cleaners may void this product’s warranty.
For mattress cleaning instructions, please see the tag on the mattress, or contact the mattress manufacturer.
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.)
