The words WWAARRNNIINNGG,CCAAUUTTIIOONN, and NNOOTTEE carry special meanings and should be carefully reviewed.

WWAARRNNIINNGG -- Alerts the reader about a situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury. It may also

describe potential serious adverse reactions and safety hazards.

CCAAUUTTIIOONN -- Alerts the reader of a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate

injury to the user or patient or damage to the product or other property. This includes special care necessary for the safe

and effective use of the device and the care necessary to avoid damage to a device that may occur as a result of use or

misuse.

NNoottee -- Provides special information to make maintenance easier or important instructions clearer.

Always read and strictly follow the warnings and cautions listed on this page. Service only by qualified personnel.

WWAARRNNIINNGG

•PPeerrffoorrmmaannccee--LLOOAADD is designed to be compatible with the PPeerrffoorrmmaannccee--PPRROO XT, PPoowweerr--PPRROO XT, and PPoowweerr--PPRROO

IT cots with a PPeerrffoorrmmaannccee--LLOOAADD option. With the mass casualty option, you can use PPeerrffoorrmmaannccee--LLOOAADD with a

standard antler for most X-frame cots, but a rail clamp assembly and antler is required for all cots without a

PPeerrffoorrmmaannccee--LLOOAADD option.

• It is the responsibility of the cot operator to make sure that the cot being used in the Stryker Model 6392 PPeerrffoorrmmaannccee--

LLOOAADD system is a PPeerrffoorrmmaannccee--LLOOAADD compatible cot. Injury may result if a non-compatible cot is used in the Stryker

Model 6392 PPeerrffoorrmmaannccee--LLOOAADD system.

• Always install the cot fastener system as described in this manual. Improper installation can result in injury. Make sure

that, at a minimum, your configuration is tested to meet the National Truck Equipment Association/Ambulance

Manufacturer’s Division Standard 004, Litter Retention System Static Test (AMD-004).

• Take special precautions regarding electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) when you use medical electrical equipment.

Install and place the cot fastener system into service according to the EMC information in this manual. Portable and

mobile RF communications equipment can affect the function of the cot fastener system.

• Always seal all gaps to the exterior of the vehicle to prevent exhaust fumes from entering the vehicle patient

compartment.

• Always make sure that you tighten all four floor plate bolts to the recommended torque.

• Always make sure of PPeerrffoorrmmaannccee--LLOOAADD functionality before use. Failure may result in patient or operator injury.

• Always use caution when you move around in the vehicle patient compartment to avoid tripping on PPeerrffoorrmmaannccee--

LLOOAADD.

• Always use caution when you operate PPeerrffoorrmmaannccee--LLOOAADD in adverse weather conditions (for example, rain, ice,

snow).

• Always operate the cot or PPeerrffoorrmmaannccee--LLOOAADD only when all persons are clear of the mechanisms. Entanglement in

powered cot or PPeerrffoorrmmaannccee--LLOOAADD mechanisms can cause serious injury.

• Always practice loading and unloading the cot with PPeerrffoorrmmaannccee--LLOOAADD until operation of the product is fully

understood. Improper use can cause injury.

• Do not allow untrained personnel to assist in the operation of PPeerrffoorrmmaannccee--LLOOAADD. Untrained technicians/personnel

can cause injury to the patient or themselves.

• Always use both hands when you handle the cot. PPeerrffoorrmmaannccee--LLOOAADD is only an assisting device. Evaluate each

situation to determine how to distribute and lift the weight that you are transporting.

• Always use enough operators to handle the forces that are required to load or unload when you handle weights over 400

lb (181 kg). To increase safety, operators should load or unload on flat surfaces. For 36 in. (91 cm) vehicle deck heights,

you may need to manually unload.

• Always avoid extreme parking angles.

• Do not remove the battery when the cot is active.

• Always load or unload an occupied cot into a vehicle with a minimum of two trained operators.

• Always be ready to support the entire weight of the cot and patient when you unload a cot from the vehicle patient

compartment.

• Always check for sheets, restraints, or debris that may catch in the cot transport wheels or load wheels.

• Do not extend the cot base while it is locked into PPeerrffoorrmmaannccee--LLOOAADD.

• Always allow occupants to enter the vehicle patient compartment after the compatible cot has been loaded into the

vehicle patient compartment.

• Always use any appropriate personal protective equipment while power washing to avoid inhaling contagion. Power

washing equipment may aerate 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.

6392-009-001 Rev D.3 3 EN

• The use of accessories and cables, other than those specified, with the exception of cables that are sold by Stryker as

replacement parts for internal components, may result in increased emissions or decreased immunity of the

PPeerrffoorrmmaannccee--LLOOAADD system.

• Do not use the PPeerrffoorrmmaannccee--LLOOAADD system and the PPoowweerr--PPRROO cot adjacent to or stacked with other equipment. If

adjacent or stacked use is necessary, observe the PPeerrffoorrmmaannccee--LLOOAADD system to confirm normal operation in the

configuration where it will be used.

• Do not use portable RF communications equipment (including peripherals such as antenna cables and external

antennas) no closer than 30 cm (12 in.) to any part of the PPeerrffoorrmmaannccee--LLOOAADD system, including cables specified by

the manufacturer. Otherwise, degradation of the performance of this equipment could result.

• The emissions characteristics of this equipment make it suitable for use in industrial areas and hospitals (CISPR 11

class A). This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in

accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this

equipment in a residential area (for which CISPR 11 class B is normally required) is likely to cause harmful interference

in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at their expense. In the event of interference, please

relocate or reorient the PPeerrffoorrmmaannccee--LLOOAADD system or interfering product.

• Always place the wire inside the floor plate pocket, so the fastener assembly does not pinch the wire when you install the

fastener assembly.

• Always charge the cot battery before you place the product into service. An uncharged or depleted battery may cause

poor product performance.

• Do not push the cot into the vehicle patient compartment until you fully retract the cot base.

• Do not clean, service, or perform maintenance while the product is in use.

• Do not clean, disinfect, service, or perform maintenance while the product is in use.

• Always wipe with clean water and dry each product after disinfecting. Some disinfectants are corrosive in nature and

may cause damage to the product. If you do not rinse and dry the product, you may leave a corrosive residue on the

surface of the product. This corrosive residue could cause premature degradation of critical components. Failure to

follow these disinfecting instructions may void your warranty.

PPeerrffoorrmmaannccee--LLOOAADD is a manual cot fastener designed to secure compatible ambulance cots into a ground-based

transport vehicle for patient transportation purposes and to allow for the insertion and removal of the compatible ambulance

cots.

When the compatible cot is secured in the transport position, PPeerrffoorrmmaannccee--LLOOAADD can inductively charge compatible

model ambulance cots with an inductive charging option. In the event of loss of charging, PPeerrffoorrmmaannccee--LLOOAADD remains

functional for guiding into, securing within, and removing the cot from the vehicle.

IInnddiiccaattiioonnss ffoorr uussee

PPeerrffoorrmmaannccee--LLOOAADD is intended to guide the loading and unloading of a compatible ambulance cot (wheeled stretcher) to

and from a ground-based transport vehicle and to secure the ambulance cot during transport in a fastened position while

also providing an optional inductive charging platform for charge-compatible ambulance cots.

EExxppeecctteedd sseerrvviiccee lliiffee

The PPeerrffoorrmmaannccee--LLOOAADD cot fastener has a seven year expected service life under normal use conditions and with
