• 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.
• 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
P P e e r r f f o o r r m m a a n n c c e e - - L L O O A A D D system.
• Do not use the P P e e r r f f o o r r m m a a n n c c e e - - L L O O A A D D system and the P P o o w w e e r r - - P P R R O O cot adjacent to or stacked with other equipment. If
adjacent or stacked use is necessary, observe the P P e e r r f f o o r r m m a a n n c c e e - - L L O O A A D D 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 P P e e r r f f o o r r m m a a n n c c e e - - L L O O A A D D 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 P P e e r r f f o o r r m m a a n n c c e e - - L L O O A A D D 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 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, disinfect, service, or perform maintenance while the product is in use.
