Care bed. Read this manual thoroughly before operating or maintaining this product. Set methods and procedures to
educate and train your staff on the safe operation or maintenance of this product.
WARNING
• Improper usage of the product can cause injury to the patient or operator. Operate the product only as described
in this manual.
• Do not modify the product or any components of the product. Modifying the product can cause unpredictable
operation resulting in injury to patient or operator. Modifying the product also voids its warranty.
Notes
• This manual is a permanent part of the product and should remain with the product even if the product is sold.
• Stryker continually seeks advancements in product design and quality. This manual contains the most current

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
InTouch is an AC-powered, adjustable hospital bed designed to position human patients for procedures, therapy, and
recovery in a healthcare environment, and transport patients between bays and procedural rooms. InTouch measures
and displays patient weight. The scale output is not intended to be used to determine diagnosis or treatment. The nurse
call allows patients to alert an operator when the patient requires assistance. There is a 30-degree head of bed (HOB)
button that puts the patient at a 30-degree angle that is calculated relative to the base to assist in ventilator-associated
pneumonia (VAP) prevention. When the Chaperone bed exit system is active, it monitors a chosen zone, and alerts the
operator of a deliberate or non-deliberate bed exit. The bed has 39 prerecorded clinical phrases in 24 languages and
a sound feature that offers various environmental and musical selections.
INTENDED USE: INTOUCH CRITICAL CARE BED
InTouch is intended for use by patients in an acute care setting. The safe working load (the sum of the patient, the
mattress, and accessory weight) for InTouch is 550 lb (249 kg).
InTouch is intended to support a human patient. The frame can come in contact with human skin, but a patient should
never be on the frame without a support surface in use.
InTouch is intended for use in acute care. These settings may include critical care, step down, progressive care, med/
surg, sub-acute care, and post anesthesia care unit (PACU), or other locations, as prescribed. Intended operators are
healthcare professionals (nurses, nurse aids, doctors) that can use all bed operations (such as bed motion functions,
nurse call, siderail communications, bed exit, therapy options), patient and bystander that can use bed motion functions,
nurse call and siderail communications, and trained professionals for installation, service, and calibration.
The product is intended for use in a healthcare environment, including hospitals, surgery centers, long term acute care
centers, and rehabilitation centers.
The product is compatible with 35 in. x 84 in. support surfaces, the facility nurse call system, standard med/surg
equipment, and the facility infrastructure. InTouch is intended for use with a 6 in. to 8.5 in. support surface. You may
use a support surface or overlay greater than 6 in. that offers therapeutic value with added patient supervision.
The Chaperone 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.

Summary of Safety Precautions
Always read and strictly follow the warnings and cautions listed on this page. Service only by qualified personnel.
WARNING
• Improper usage of the product can cause injury to the patient or operator. Operate the product only as described
in this manual.
• Do not modify the product or any components of the product. Modifying the product can cause unpredictable
operation resulting in injury to patient or operator. Modifying the product also voids its warranty.
• Always allow the product to reach room temperature before conducting any setup or testing functional operations
to prevent permanent product damage.
• Always operate the product when all operators are clear of the mechanisms.
• Always plug the product directly into a properly grounded, three-prong receptacle. You can only achieve grounding
reliability when you use a hospital-grade receptacle. This product is equipped with a hospital-grade plug for
protection against electric shock hazard.
• Always properly handle the power cord to avoid the risk of entanglement, damage to the power cord, or potential
shock hazards. If the power cord is damaged, immediately remove the product from service and contact the
appropriate maintenance personnel.
• Do not attach the power cord to any moving parts of InTouch.
• Always unplug the power cord, turn the battery switch to the OFF (O) position, press the N/Brake Off button, and
call maintenance if unanticipated motion occurs.
• Always unplug the product power cord from the wall when using oxygen administering equipment. Possible fire
hazard exists when this product is used with oxygen administering equipment other than nasal, mask type, or half
bed-length tent type.
• The optional iBed® Wireless function is only intended to provide remote information of product status and parameter
conditions. It is not intended to replace patient monitoring protocol.
• The line of sight between an iBed Locator and the head end of bed must be free of obstruction at all times. Any
interference could interrupt communication between the iBed Locator and the IR module.
• You must use an iBed® Wireless compatible footboard with an iBed® Wireless compatible product. You will lose
iBed® Wireless functionality if you use an older version of the footboard.
• You must verify all iBed® Wireless functionality after installation. Verify that the iBed locator communicates the
product’s positions, and that iBed® Wireless communicates with the wireless access point. Failure to do may result
in the loss of information or the transmission of incorrect information.
• You must install the iBed Locators more than 71” apart from one another in the same room (such as in a
semiprivate room with more than one product). Failure to do may result in the product transmitting information to
the incorrect iBed Locator.
• Do not use iBed® Wireless to replace the existing nurse call system. iBed® Wireless products are only intended
to transmit product information. They are not intended to transmit nurse call information.
• Always correctly associate or map the iBed Locator to the room or location to provide accurate location information.
Failure to properly map the iBed Locator to the room or location may result in the product transmitting incorrect
information.
• If you move an iBed Locator after it has been installed and mapped, you must remap to the new room or location
in which it is moved to. You must also remap the iBed Locator if you change the room or location information after
initial installation.
• Always wash your hands after handling a battery. Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead

Summary of Safety Precautions
WARNING (CONTINUED)
• Do not use the Zoom motorized drive when the batteries become discharged. Press N/Brake Off to place the drive
wheel in neutral and push the product manually. Recharge the batteries before using the Zoom motorized drive
again to avoid the risk of battery damage and the drive wheel getting stuck in the down position.
• Use caution while maneuvering the product with the drive wheel activated. Always make sure that there are no
obstacles near the product while the Zoom motorized drive is activated. Injury to the patient, user or bystanders or
damage to the frame or surrounding equipment could occur if you collide with an obstacle.
• Make sure that the brakes are completely released before attempting to move the product. Attempting to move the
product with the brakes applied could result in injury to the patient or operator.
• Do not attempt to move the product manually when you activate the Zoom motorized drive. Always place the drive
wheel into the neutral position and release the brakes before attempting to move the product manually.
• Always make sure that all persons and equipment are away from the area below and around the product before
you activate the CPR release. The CPR release is for emergency use only.
• Always determine the proper use of the restraint straps and restraint strap locations. Improperly adjusted restraint
straps can cause serious injury to a patient. Stryker is not responsible for the type or use of restraint straps on
any of Stryker’s products.
• Only use hospital-grade electric equipment consuming 5A or less with the auxiliary power outlet (optional). The
use of standard electric equipment may bring the current leakage to a level unacceptable for hospital equipment.
• Always keep the siderails in the fully raised position and the sleep surface horizontal in its lowest position unless
the patient’s medical condition dictates otherwise.
• Do not use siderails, with or without their padded covers, as restraint devices to keep patient from exiting the
product. Siderails are designed to keep a patient from inadvertently rolling off the product. It is the responsibility
of the attending medical personnel to determine the degree of restraint necessary to ensure a patient’s safety.
Failure to use the siderails properly could result in serious patient injury.
• Always keep the siderails outside of the oxygen tent.
• The scale system is intended to assist in the monitoring of the patient’s weight variation. Under no circumstances
should its reading be used as sole reference for medical treatment.
• Bed exit is intended only to aid in the detection of a patient exiting the product. It is not intended to replace patient
• onitoring protocol.
• Bed exit is not designed to be used with patients weighing less than 50 lb (23 kg).
• Do not use extension cords with support surfaces. Support surfaces are only intended to be powered by InTouch
with the power cord supplied.
• Do not route cables between the support surface and InTouch.
• Always make sure that all of the patient’s limbs are within the raised and locked siderails when the support surface
is articulating to avoid the risk of patient injury.
• Always center the patient on the support surface. Align the patient’s head toward the headboard before starting
functions. Check the patient frequently to make sure that you maintain the proper positioning.
• Always make sure that the tubing and wiring that is connected to the patient is long enough, stable, and secure
during Lateral Rotation or Turn Assist.
• Always raise all of the InTouch bed siderails before starting Turn Assist or Lateral Rotation functions.
• Do not exceed the safe working load of the Isolibrium support surface. Excess weight could cause unpredictable
safety and performance of this system.
• Always use extra caution when reading radiology images taken of a patient on a support surface because internal
components can cause artifacts and distort readings.
• Do not extubate or intubate patients during Lateral Rotation or Turn Assist. The functions could interfere with the
performance of the ancillary devices.
• Do not zero the bed scales or weigh the patient with Lateral Rotation or Turn Assist active. Motion from the support
surface functions may adversely affect the scale system performance.
• Do not arm bed exit with Lateral Rotation or Turn Assist active. The patient motion and position that results from
the support surface may adversely affect bed exit system performance.
• Do not leave the patient unattended during Turn Assist.
• Always deflate the Isolibrium support surface before beginning CPR.
