Always apply the brakes when a patient is getting on or off the stretcher. Push on the stretcher to ensure that the brakes are securely locked. Always engage the brakes unless the stretcher is being moved. Injury could result if the stretcher moves while a patient is getting on or off the stretcher. Patients should be discouraged from sitting directly on the ends of the stretcher. Excessive weight could cause the litter surface to tip up, possibly causing patient injury. Leave the stretcher height in the lowest position when the patient is left unattended. Leaving the stretcher height in a raised position could increase the chance of patient falls and injury. Make sure that the brakes are completely released before attempting to move the unit. Attempting to move the unit with the brakes engaged could result in injury to the user and/or patient. After raising the siderails, pull firmly on the siderail to ensure that it is securely locked into the fully raised position. Siderails are not intended to serve as a patient restraint device to keep patients from exiting the unit. Siderails are intended to keep a patient from inadvertently rolling off the unit. It is the responsibility of the attending medical personnel to determine the degree of restraint necessary to ensure that a patient will remain in place. Failure to utilize the siderails properly could result in patient injury. When lowering the siderail to the collapsed position, keep extremities of patients and staff away from the siderail spindles or injury could occur. During patient transfer, keep patient and operator extremities away from collapsed siderails or injury could occur. Operation of the pneumatic fowler is a manual procedure. Use caution when raising the fowler while a patient is on the stretcher. Use proper lifting techniques and get additional assistance, if necessary. Failure to use proper lifting techniques could cause injury to the operator. Keep hands/fingers clear of the area around the fowler release handle and the fowler frame when lowering the fowler. Injury could result if care is not taken when lowering the fowler. The weight of the patient’s head is resting on the head piece and must be supported by the operator when the latches are released and the head piece is being positioned. Failure to adequately support the head piece while positioning the head could result in patient injury. Do not reach between the side of the head extension and the articulating head piece to pull the release handle. Finger injury could result. To avoid possible pinch points when adjusting the head piece, keep your fingers away from the jointed areas. When using the transfer board to transfer a patient from one patient support platform (for example, bed, stretcher, gurney, operating table) to another, always lock the brakes on both patient support platforms. Make sure that the transfer board is placed securely on the surface of the patient support platforms. The patient support platforms and surfaces must be at the same height before the patient is transferred. To avoid the risk of injury to the patient or user or damage to the I.V. pole while transporting the stretcher, make sure that the I.V. caddy is securely tightened on the I.V. pole. Physical restraints, even if properly secured, may result in serious harm to patients and caregivers. The use of restraint straps may potentially cause entanglement, entrapment, physical injury, and/or death. Caution must be used in affixing restraint straps to avoid potential injury to both patients and caregivers. Restraint straps and/or devices must be attached only at the identified attachment points of the unit. Failure to do so may result in patient or caregiver injury. Do not attach restraints straps to the siderail.
