Always read and strictly follow the warnings and cautions listed on this page. Service only by qualified personnel.
WWAARRNNIINNGG
• Always allow the product to reach room temperature before you set up the product or test functional operations.
Permanent product damage may occur.
• Always operate the product only when all operators are clear of the mechanisms.
• Always use mattress (6300-0-100, 6300-0-102, 6300-0-103, or 6300-0-104) on the Stryker Model 6300 SSTT11 and SSTT11--XX
Series stretcher. Use of any other mattress may result in patient injury.
• Always use caution when you use a mattress thicker than 6.35 cm (2.5 inches) with SSTT11--XX option. Operator supervision
is recommended to reduce the risk of patient falls due to lesser siderail coverage.
• Always use linens with the mattress.
• Do not stick needles into the mattress cover. Holes may allow body fluids to enter the inside (inner core) of the mattress
and may cause cross-contamination or product damage.
• Always use the mattress with a compatible frame as indicated in the specification section of this manual.
• Always apply the brakes when a patient is getting on the product or off the product or when the product is not moving.
Injury could result if the product moves while a patient is getting on the product or off the product.
• Always position the patient in the center of the product.
• Always put the product in the lowest position with the siderails up and latched when you leave a patient unattended. Do
not leave the product at a higher height.
• Always remove any devices that may be in the way before you raise or lower the litter.
• Do not sit on the end of the product. The product may tip.
• Always lock the siderails in the full up position with the sleep surface flat in the lowest position when you transport a
patient.
• Do not transport the product laterally on an incline greater than 6 degrees (10%) to avoid tipping. Always make sure that
the litter is horizontal (no Trendelenburg/Reverse Trendelenburg) at the lowest height when you transport a patient.
• Always apply the brakes on both the surface with the patient and the surface the patient will be transferred to before you
transfer a patient from one patient support platform (bed, stretcher, gurney, operating table) to another patient support
platform.
• Always make sure that the patient support platforms are the same height before you transfer a patient.
• Always keep hands and fingers clear of the foot end push handles when you use the defibrillator tray/chart holder or
upright oxygen bottle holder.
• Always keep the patient’s limbs away from the siderail spindles when you raise or lower the siderail.
• Do not allow the siderails to lower on their own.
• Always keep hands and fingers clear of the Fowler backrest release handles and the Fowler backrest frame when you
lower the Fowler backrest.
• Always use caution when you raise a pneumatic Fowler backrest while a patient is on the product. Use proper lifting
techniques and get help, if necessary.
• Do not place items between the Fowler backrest and the litter frame when the Fowler backrest is raised.
• Do not hang IV bags that exceed the safe working load of 18 kg on the IV pole.
• Do not hang IV bags that exceed the safe working load of 4.5 kg on any hanger on the IV pole.
• Always make sure that the IV pole is at a low height to pass through door openings when you transport a patient.
• Do not use the IV pole as a push/pull device. Product damage may occur.
• Always use qualified personnel to assemble and attach accessories.

• Do not hang IV bags that exceed the safe working load of 3 kg on any hanger on the IV pole.
• Do not place objects that exceed the safe working load of 18 kg in the upright oxygen bottle holder for all types.
• Do not use the upright oxygen bottle holder as a push/pull device. Product damage may occur.
KK-6300-en Rev 03 3 EN

• Do not use the paper roll holder as a push/pull device. Product damage may occur.
• Do not hang items that exceed the safe working load of 1.5 kg on the paper roll holder.
• Always use caution when you attach restraint straps. Patient or operator injury may occur. Physical restraints, even if
secured, may result in serious harm to patients and operators, including entanglement, entrapment, physical injury, or
death.
• Always attach restraint straps or devices only at the identified attachment points of the product. Failure to do so may
result in patient or operator injury. Do not attach restraint straps to the siderail.
• Always refer to applicable state and federal restrictions and regulations and the appropriate facility protocols before you
use any restraint strap or device.
• Always refer to applicable state and federal restrictions and regulations for safety before you use the X-ray option with

• Do not wash the internal components of this mattress. Discard the mattress if contamination is found inside.
• Do not immerse the mattress in cleaning or disinfectant solutions.
• Do not allow liquid to pool on the mattress.
• Do not iron, dry clean, or tumble dry the mattress cover.
• Do not clean, service, or perform maintenance while the product is in use.
• Do not steam clean, hose off, or ultrasonically clean the product. Use of these methods of cleaning is not recommended
and may void the product’s warranty.
• Always disinfect the mattress following your hospital protocols to avoid the risk of cross-contamination and infection.
• Do not use VViirreexx®® TTBB to disinfect this product.
• Do not use accelerated hydrogen peroxides or quaternaries that contain glycol ethers as they may damage the mattress
cover.
• Always inspect the mattress each time you clean the mattress cover. Follow your hospital protocols and complete
preventive maintenance each time you clean the mattress cover. If compromised, remove the mattress from use and
replace the product to prevent cross-contamination.
CCAAUUTTIIOONN
• 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 transport the SSTT11 and SSTT11--XX Series stretcher on floors made of wood, concrete, or ceramic tile. If floors are
covered with synthetic material, the relative humidity should be at least 30% to avoid electrostatic discharge.
• Do not use the hydraulics on the base to raise the product with a patient lift under the product.
• Do not place objects that exceed 60 lb (27 kg) in the base hood.
• Do not sit, step, or stand on the base hood.
• Always use authorized accessories with the SSTT11 and SSTT11--XX Series stretcher.
• Always use the 6300-1-000 mattress cover on the foam core.
• Always make sure that you wipe the product with clean water. Dry each product after cleaning. Some cleaning agents
are corrosive in nature and may cause damage to the product. Failure to follow these cleaning instructions may void
your warranty.
• Do not use cleaning agents and disinfectants with aggressive chemicals as they will reduce the expected life of the
mattress cover.
• Do not allow liquid to seep into the zipper area or watershed cover barrier when you clean the mattress bottom. Fluids
allowed to come in contact with the zipper may leak into the mattress.
• Always dry the mattress cover before you store, add linens, or place a patient on the surface. A dry product helps to
prevent impaired product performance.
• Do not overexpose the mattress cover to high concentrations of disinfectant solutions as they may degrade the mattress
cover.
• Failure to follow the manufacturing cleaning instructions and Stryker operational instructions may affect useful life of the
mattress.
