SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNINGS:
CHAIR OPERATION BY QUALIFIED, TRAINED MEDICAL PERSONNEL ONLY
The chair is intended to be operated only by qualified, trained medical staff. Operation of chair by
unauthorized / untrained / lay people must be avoided.
in its lowest position.
USE CAUTION ON RAMPS
Control chair when traversing ramps. If a collision occurs, serious injury to patient, bystanders, or medical
personnel could result, as well as, damage to chair or medical facility could occur.
LOCK CASTERS BEFORE PATIENT EGRESS / INGRESS
Prior to patient egress / ingress, casters must be locked by depressing red tab completely down on either
left- or right-side brake pedal.
AVOID PINCH POINTS AND OTHER INJURIES
To prevent serious injury, ensure extremities of patient and bystanders are clear of all mechanical systems
when operating motors for lift, tilt, and positioning functions.
To prevent pinch / crush injury, ensure extremities of patient and bystanders are clear of locking
mechanism when raising and lowering side rails.
To prevent patient strangulation, use approved hand pendant storage location when not in use (see
PENDANT section).
BATTERY CAN EXPLODE DUE TO OFF-GASSING WHEN CHARGING
At end of charging process (or with overcharge conditions), battery can produce mixture of explosive gases
(including hydrogen and oxygen). Avoid exposing battery to open flames, cigarettes, sparks, and
incandescent materials.
Never charge battery in enclosed, unventilated spaces.
Do NOT store battery in sealed container. Store in fresh, well-ventilated area protected from direct sunlight
and heat sources.
Do NOT use water to extinguish battery fire. Use dry powder, foam CO2extinguisher.
USE CAUTION WHEN STORING OXYGEN CYLINDER UNDER CHAIR
To prevent severe gas leakage / rupture of compressed gas cylinder, when placing cylinder under chair,
ensure adequate clearance between cylinder and its attached gas equipment (i.e. regulator, gauges,
fittings, knobs) and all adjustable chair sections / features (i.e. seat, back, leg, rails, actuators).
To prevent fire / explosive hazard, do not leave chair (and stowed oxygen equipment) near heat source.
To prevent gas equipment damage during transport, ensure cylinder sets in cradle properly and strap
mechanisms are secured tightly. Chair is intended to accommodate up to an E-size cylinder (4-3/8” outer
diameter x 25” length).
DO NOT PLACE EXCESSIVE WEIGHT ON ENDS
Position patient’s body weight uniformly over the patient surface. Use caution when shifting patient’s body
weight towards either end of the stretcher-chair. Excessive weight on either end of the device could cause
the stretcher-chair to become unstable.
Do not sit or stand on the ends of the stretcher-chair. Instruct patients to not stand on footrest during
egress / ingress.
Due to the unique nature of each patient’s body shape, caregiver should exercise sound judgment when
positioning patient on the device.

ACCESSORY WARNINGS:
To prevent serious injury and property damage, review operating manuals of all medical equipment and
accessories that may be used with, or attached to, this chair.
Using the supplied accessories in the incorrect manner may cause patient, bystander, or facility harm.
If chair is equipped with accessory belts, refer to appropriate Field Installation and Usage Instructions
(provided with belts) for proper installation, use, and care.
To prevent fire hazards, follow all precautions and operating procedures prescribed by suppliers of oxygen
administering equipment (i.e. oxygen gas regulators, tents, masks, cannulas, etc.)
To prevent injury and property damage, total weight of items placed on “IV” pole must be less than 25 lbs.
If mounting accessories to back surgical rails, ensure accessory is properly installed and securely engaged
prior to transporting patient/chair, and prior to use. Only equipment approved by TransMotion Medical is to
be mounted on surgical rails. TransMotion Medical is not responsible for damage, and assumes no liability,
caused by the use of unapproved equipment or accessories. Approved medical equipment includes tools,
instruments, or scopes that are compatible with a.365” thick by 1.125” wide surgical rail.
CAUTIONS:
DO NOT MODIFY CHAIR
Modifying chair can cause unpredictable operation resulting in injury to patient, medical personnel, or
bystander. Modifying chair will void warranty.
USE SAFE OPERATING PROCEDURES
Prior to operating chair, ensure patient clearance by moving any overhanging equipment, or moving chair
from under a table, to prevent patient injury.
For TMM5, chair must be at least 24 inches from nearest wall or obstruction to allow for full range of
activation.
Leave chair in lowest position whenever possible. This practice will decrease potential injury during an
unsupervised patient egress from chair.
Prior to patient transport in chair, raise side rails and ensure latching mechanism is in locked position.
Medical personnel must determine degree of restraint needed to ensure patient’s safety during transport.
For “F” Option Only
Since footrest is foldable (not locked in position), ensure protection of patient’s feet while moving chair in
close quarters (i.e. elevators, crowded hallways, procedure rooms).
INSPECT AND CLEAN CHAIR REGULARLY
Inspect cushions after each use. Discontinue use if upholstery is ripped, cut, or torn, which could allow
fluids to enter cushion. This practice will prevent infection of patients and medical personnel and
contamination of medical equipment.
Do NOT use machine / pressure / power wash procedures on chair. After each use in a clinical setting,
hand wash all patient-contact surfaces (i.e. cushions, rails) and plastic base cover with warm water and
mild detergent.
For “A” Option Only
For large fluid spills on chair, immediately unplug chair from AC wall outlet.

PLUG CHAIR INTO PROPERLY GROUNDED WALL OUTLET MARKED
“HOSPITAL ONLY” OR “HOSPITAL GRADE”
For “A” Option Only
Chair is equipped with hospital-grade three-prong plug for protection against electric shock, and must be
plugged into properly grounded hospital-grade wall outlet.
MAX WEIGHT OF BACK SURGICAL BAR
The max weight capacity of each back surgical bar is 50 pounds. To prevent personal injury to patient, do
not mount equipment weighing more than 50 pounds to device. Weight of patient plus weight of equipment
should not exceed 500 pound weight capacity of TransMotion Medical stretcher-chair.
EMI CAUTION:
EMI MAY AFFECT CHAIR FUNCTIONALITY
Chair may be susceptible to EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) caused by electromagnetic energy emitted from
various sources, such as, radio and television stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, citizen band (CB) radios,
hand-held “walkie-talkies”, security / police / fire transceivers, and other communication devices. EMI can cause
chair to move by itself, or in an unintended fashion. It can damage control system(s).
Intensity of interfering energy is measured in V/m (volts per meter). Chair can resist EMI up to a certain intensity,
called its “immunity level”. When the immunity level is higher, the less likely EMI will interfere with chair operation.
The chair has been tested to 20 V/m immunity level, which is sufficient to provide useful protection from common
sources of radiated electromagnetic energy.
In clinical environments devices can emit electromagnetic energy, which becomes more intense as one moves
closer to energy source. To reduce chance of unintended movement or operation of chair, observe the following:
1. Be aware of nearby high-power transmitters (radio and TV stations), MRI (magnetic resonance imaging)
systems, and NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) imaging systems. Keep chair away from these areas.
2. Do not operate hand-held transmitters near chair.
3. Do not operate chair near others using hand-held transmitters.
4. If unintended chair movement occurs, disconnect battery, and move chair away from location.

NOTICES:
MAXIMUM PATIENT WEIGHT IS 500 lbs (227 kg)
Maximum patient weight capacity of chair is 500 pounds. If exceeded, damage to chair could occur.
CHAIR IS INTENDED FOR INDOOR USE ONLY
To ensure proper operation and extend chair life, only use chair in specified environment.
USE CDC’s UNIVERSAL PRECAUTIONS
When maintaining chair after clinical use, service personnel must use UNIVERSAL PRECAUTIONS as
defined by CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention).
MAINTAIN CHAIR REGULARLY
To ensure proper operation and extend chair life, inspect, maintain, and service chair on a regular basis.
Inspection, maintenance, and service details are located later in this manual.
REMOVE BATTERY DURING CHAIR STORAGE
For “B” Option Only
If chair is to be stored or not in use for more than 3 weeks, remove battery pack from chair. Refer to
Battery Charger Installation and Usage Instructions (IM TMA57-15), under the “Cautionary Usage
Instructions” section, for more information.
For “A” Option Only
If chair is to be stored or not in use for more than 1.5 weeks, leave chair plugged into an AC wall outlet or
unplug battery from control box. For more information, refer to “A” Option section below.
SURGICAL SUPPORT LEG MUST BE “UNLOCKED” TO ACTUATE BACK AND TILT MOTORS
To prevent chair damage, the back and tilt motors are disengaged while the surgical support leg is in the
locked position. If you need to adjust the back/seat angle return the surgical support leg lever to the
“unlocked” position, adjust the back/seat, and then re-lock the surgical support leg lever.
