TO OBTAIN SERVICE AND/OR PARTS
To Require Service
To obtain the service of a Stryker Field Service Representative for an on-site diagnosis and/or
repair of a bed malfunction, contact the Technical Service department (see section 2.1) or your
local representative.
To Order Parts
In order to correctly identify and order parts to be replaced, proceed as follows:
•Once you have established the nature of the problem, locate the serial number plate (fig.
1.4) and the manufacturer's nameplate (fig. 1.4) affixed respectively on the right side of the
mobile frame at the foot end of the bed, and on the right side of the head end casing cover.
•Write down the serial number, the production number (e.g. FL17-XXXX) and the bed model
(manufacturer's nameplate). Make sure that the bed is indeed a Stryker Bertec bed. At first
glance, beds manufactured by other companies may resemble ours.
•Locate the Parts manual or Customer's guide (containing the Parts manual needed) number
on the manufacturer's nameplate and refer to its drawings and part lists to identify the
defective part. Write down the name of the part and its part number. Also write down the
problem encountered while using the equipment.
N
NO OT TE E
It is very important that you refer to the drawings and parts lists that are specific to the bed
needing repair.
•Contact the Technical Service department (see section 1.2) or your local representative and
provide all the previously noted information:
•Bed model
•Serial number and production number
Figure 1.4

•Name and part number of the defective part(s)
•Problem encountered
N
NO OT TE E
We will do our best to help you identify the parts to be replaced. However, if an error occurs
when ordering, the user remains responsible for identifying parts to change.
Stryker Bertec will take back wrong parts ordered but will not assume shipping charges and
restocking fees will be charged to the user unless a Technical Service representative has been
requested for an on-site diagnosis of the malfunction.

2. PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
N
NO OT TE E
In the text, the words "right and "left" refer to the right and left sides of a patient lying face up on
the bed.
2.1 BED CLEANING AND MATTRESS CARE
Do not use harsh cleaners, solvents or detergents. Do not steam clean, hose off or
ultrasonically clean the bed. Do not immerse any part of the bed. The bed electrical parts may
be damaged by exposure to water.
Germicidal disinfectant, used as directed, and/or Chlorine Bleach products are not considered
mild detergents. These products are corrosive in nature and may cause damage to your bed if
used improperly. If these types of products are used, ensure the beds are rinsed with 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 warranty.
CLEANING BEDS
Hand wash all surfaces of the bed with a soft cloth moistened with a solution of lukewarm water
and a mild detergent.
Wipe the bed clean and dry thoroughly to avoid build up of cleaning solution.
N
NO OT TE E
Do not use cleaning solutions containing a degreaser near the siderail pivots (see figure 2.2B on
page 11) to avoid deteriorating the grease used to ensure a smooth movement of the siderails.
MATTRESS CARE
Inspect the mattress after each use. Discontinue use if any cracks or rips are found in the
mattress cover, which may allow fluid to enter the mattress. Failure to properly clean the
mattress, or dispose of it if defective, may increase the risk of exposure to pathogenic
substances and may bring about diseases to the patient and/or user.
•Inspection
Implement local policies to address regular care, maintenance, and cleaning of mattresses
and covers. The cover cleaning procedure can be found below and on the bed label.
Inspect mattress cover surface (also zip fasteners and cover inner surface if mattresses
have zip fasteners) regularly for signs of damage. If the mattress cover is heavily stained or
soiled, or torn, remove the mattress from service.
•Cleaning
Stains: Wash with lukewarm water using a mild detergent. Rinse with water and let dry. For
tough stains use bleach diluted with ten parts of water.
