SAFETY TIPS AND GUIDELINES
Before operating the Secure Bed, it is important to read and understand all information in this manual. Care-
fully 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 Secure 3000 Bed is not intended for use with patients less than two years of age.
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 in 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 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.
SDo not attempt to move the foot end of the bed laterally when the steer pedal is activated. When the steer
pedal is activated, the steer caster at the foot end of the bed cannot swivel. Attempting to move the bed
laterally when the steer pedal is activated may cause injury to the user.
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 affect the operational capabilities of any electrical
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. Quaternary Germicidal Disinfectants, used as directed, and/or Chlorine
Bleach products, typically 5.25% Sodium 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 PROD-
UCTS ARE CORROSIVE IN NATURE AND MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO YOUR BED IF USED IMPROP-
ERLY. If these types of products are used to clean Stryker patient care equipment, measures must be
taken to insure the beds are wiped 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’s warranty.
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.)
SPreventative maintenance should be performed at a minimum of biannually to ensure all bed features
are functioning properly. 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 systems, no controls or cabling entangled in bed
mechanisms, leakage current 100 microamps maximum, scale and bed exit systems calibrated properly.
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.

CLEANING
Hand wash all surfaces of the bed with warm water and mild detergent. Dry thoroughly.
CAUTION
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 BED IF USED IMPROPERLY. If these types of products are used to clean
Stryker patient care equipment, measures must be taken to insure the beds are wiped 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’s warranty.
CAUTION
Do not steam clean or hose off the Secure 3000 Bed. 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.
Clean Velcro AFTER EACH USE. Saturate Velcro with disinfectant and allow disinfectant to evaporate. (Ap-
propriate disinfectant for nylon Velcro should be determined by the hospital.)
In general, when used in those concentrations recommended by the manufacturer, either phenolic type or
quaternary type disinfectants can be used with Staph–Chek fabrics. Iodophor type disinfectants are not rec-
ommended for use on Staph–Chek fabrics because staining may result. The following products have been
tested by the Herculite Laboratory and have been found not to have a harmful effect on Staph–Chek fabrics

SET–UP PROCEDURES
It is important that the Secure 3000 Bed is working properly before it is put into service. The following list
will help ensure that each part of the bed is tested.
SPlug the bed into a properly grounded, hospital grade wall receptacle and ensure the ”Power”LED light
at the foot end of the bed comes on.
WARNING
The 3000 is equipped with a hospital grade plug for protection against shock hazard. It must be plugged di-
rectly into a properly grounded three–prong receptacle. Grounding reliability can be achieved only when a
hospital grade receptacle is used.
SPlug the optional interface cable into the 37 pin connector under the litter frame at the head end of the
bed, and into the ”Patient Station”, ”Head Wall”, ”Docker Station”, or equivalent (whichever applies). Test
the interface cable to verify it is functioning properly.
WARNING
Use only a Stryker supplied interface cable. Use of any other cable may cause the bed to function improperly
which may result in patient or user injury.
SEnsure the siderails raise, lower and store smoothly and lock in the up and intermediate positions (page
13).
SEnsure that all four casters lock when the brake pedal is engaged (page 8).
NOTE
Ensure that the ”Brake Not Set”LEDs located on the outside of the head end siderails and on the foot board
control panel come on when the brakes are disengaged.
SRun through each function on the foot board control panel to ensure that each function is working properly
(page 17–19).
SRun through each function on both head end siderails to ensure that each is working properly (page
14–16).
SActivate the motion stop system to ensure it is functioning properly: press and hold down the BED DOWN
key. As the bed lowers, lift up on the motion interrupt pan (page 7) and ensure the downward motion
stops. Release the pan and allow the downward motion to continue.
NOTE
The bed’s upward motion or other functions are not disrupted by the motion stop system.
If any problems are found during bed set–up, contact Stryker Customer Service at 800–327–0770.

BRAKE PEDAL OPERATION
WARNING
Always apply the caster brakes when a patient is getting on or off the bed. Push on the bed to ensure the
brakes are securely locked. Always engage the brakes unless the bed is being moved. Injury could result
if the bed moves while a patient is getting on or off the bed.
To activate the brakes, push down once on the pedal
identified by the label at right (located at the midpoint of
the bed on both sides). To disengage, push down once.
NOTE
There are LED lights on the outside of the head end siderails and on the foot end control panel that will blink
when the brakes are not engaged only if the bed is plugged into a wall socket (see pages 16 & 17). The brakes
will still operate properly when the bed is not plugged in.
STEER PEDAL OPERATION
The purpose of the steer caster is to help guide the bed along a straight line and to help with pivoting at corners
when the bed is moved.
To activate the steer caster, move the pedal located
at the head end of the bed to your left as shown on
the label.
NOTE
For proper ”tracking”of the steer caster, push the bed approximately 10 feet to allow the wheels to face the
direction of travel before engaging the steer pedal. If this is not done, proper ”tracking”will not occur and the
bed will be difficult to steer.
WARNING
Do not attempt to move the foot end of the bed laterally when the steer pedal is activated. When the steer
pedal is activated, the steer caster at the foot end of the bed cannot swivel. Attempting to move the bed later-
ally when the steer pedal is activated may cause injury to the user.

CPR EMERGENCY RELEASE USAGE
When quick access to the patient is needed, and the Fowler is raised, squeeze one of the two red release
handles (see illustration, page 7) and the Fowler can be guided down to a flat position.
NOTE
The handle can be released at any time to stop the Fowler from lowering.
FOLEY BAG HOOKS USAGE, STANDARD AND ISOLATED (Isolated Optional Equipment)
The standard Foley bag hooks are found at two locations on both sides of the bed, under the frame rail below
the seat section and at the extreme foot end of the bed.
NOTE
The patient weight reading on the bed scale system will be affected by using the standard Foley bag hooks.
The optional isolated Foley bag hooks are located under the litter frame at the top of the foot end bellows.
CAUTION
The Foley bag hooks move when the Fowler is raised or lowered. Fowler motion must be locked out when
using these hooks to avoid inadvertent movement of the hooks.
NOTE
The patient weight reading on the bed scale system will not be affected by usage of the isolated Foley bag
hooks.
FOOT PROP USAGE
To prop the foot end of the Knee Gatch up, grasp
the handle (A) at the end of the Knee Gatch and
lift upward, allowing the latch arm to engage at the
desired height. To release the prop, (B) lift up on
the handle (A) and swing the foot prop (B) toward
the head end of the bed to disengage the hinge
and allow the foot end to lower.
WARNING
The intent of the foot prop is to elevate a patient’s
feet. To avoid injury while cleaning or servicing under
the foot section, secure the foot section with string
or bungee cords or hold it up out of the way.
FRACTURE FRAME USAGE
A standard fracture frame can be mounted on the bed using the I.V. sockets located on all four corners of
the bed. I.V. poles can be used in conjunction with a fracture frame if I. V. pole adaptor sockets are purchased.
WARNING
Use only retractable traction or fracture frames. Failure to use a retractable frame may result in injury to the
patient and/or damage to the equipment.

NIGHT LIGHT USAGE (Optional Equipment)
The bed may be equipped with two optional night
lights (A) to illuminate the floor area around the
bed.
There is a master switch at the foot end of the bed
on the right side that turns both lights on and off.
Each light also has a switch to control the individu-
al light.
NOTE
If the switch is turned off on either of the individual
lights, the master switch will not control that light.
PATIENT RESTRAINT STRAP LOCATIONS
The bed is equipped with 12 separate locations for installing patient restraint straps. The ”cutouts”in the bed
top are located directly across from each other (on both sides of the bed).
WARNING
Improperly adjusted restraint straps can cause serious injury to a patient. The clinician must use her/his
judgement to determine proper use of restraint straps and restraint strap locations.
Clean Velcro AFTER EACH USE. Saturate Velcro with disinfectant and allow disinfectant to evaporate. (Ap-
propriate disinfectant for nylon Velcro should be determined by the hospital.)
NURSE CALL BACK–UP BATTERY
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 power light (located on the foot board) is flashing, the Nurse Call battery needs to be replaced. The
battery is located on the patient’s left 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.

into position. Siderails are not
intended to keep patients from
exiting the bed. They are
designed to keep a patient
from inadvertently rolling off
the bed. Proper restraint
methods should be utilized to
ensure the patient remains in bed.
The siderails are not intended to be
used as a push device.
To disengage the rail, push in the blue release handle (A) and swing rail down to desired height. Tuck away
siderails by pushing the rails under the bed. Rails must be in the full down position before they can be tucked.
SIDERAIL CONTROL PANEL LIGHTS
The bed is equipped with lights to illuminate the head end siderail control panel and the red nurse call
switches. Both can be activated at the foot board control panel. Three settings are available for the control
panel lights: low, medium and high intensity. When all lights are off, push the siderail control light button at
the foot board once to turn on both the control lights and the nurse call light at the siderail. Push again to
change from low to medium setting, and a third time to change to the high setting. The nurse call light intensity
is not affected. Pushing the button a fourth time will turn off the siderail control panel lights and pushing it
a fifth time will turn off the red nurse call light as well (see control panel guide page 17).
CAUTION
The intent of the red nurse call light on the siderails is to ensure the patient has immediate understanding of
where to push to contact the nurse station. Turning this light off will compromise this ability, especially in a
darkened room.
