6.5 Disinfecting the Cot
Wipe all surfaces with disinfectant. Follow the disinfectant
manufacturer's instructions for application method and contact time.
Inspect the cot for damage as you disinfect it.
6.6 Cleaning the Cot
1.
Remove the patient restraints, mattress, and accessories. Verify
that all cords, cables, connectors, etc. are connected.
2.
Remove the battery. Cover the battery cable plug with a bag. Tie
the bag closed or use a rubber band to make a watertight seal
around the plug. For battery care, see page 16 and Battery Care
at right.
3.
Hand clean all surfaces with warm water and a mild detergent,
or pressure-wash the cot as described below. Do not spray water
directly into ports, wire harnesses, cable connections, etc.
4.
Rinse with warm, clear water. Dry with a towel or allow it to air-dry.
6.7 Pressure-Washing
IP 56: The cot has been tested in compliance with dust and water
infiltration standards and has earned a Solid Particle Protection Rating of
5 (dust-protected), and Liquid Ingress Protection Rating of 6 (protected
against water infiltration).
Use caution when using pressurized water,
spray-wands and equipment. Wear all safety
equipment recommended by the pressure-
sprayer manufacturer. Do not pressure wash
the battery.
1.
Adjust the cot to the recommended transport height.
2.
Use Direct Power (page 31) to fold the loading-end legs until
the loading wheels are on the ground (Figure 42).
3.
Turn the power switch OFF, engage the wheel locks, and remove
the battery.
4.
Cover the battery cable end with a plastic bag. Make the bag
water-tight using a tie wrap or rubber band. Then, attach the
battery cover (Figure 42 inset, LL, MM).
5.
Set the nozzle pressure at or below 3000 psi (20,684 kPa). Use a
nozzle with a wide angle of spray (25° or 40°). Keep the nozzle at
least 18" (457 mm) away from the cot at all times (Figure 42). Do
not spray directly into the control panel or wiring.
6.
Spray the patient surface, legs, and wheels of the cot.
7.
Allow the cot to sit idle for 10 minutes to dry.
8.
Remove the battery cover, tie wrap or rubber band and bag from
the battery cable. Attach the battery and put the cover in place.
9.
Turn the power ON. Raise the cot to the desired height.
10. When fully dry, reattach the mattress, restraints, and accessories.
The IP Rating system was developed by the European Committee for
Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC) to show compliance of ANSI/IEC
60529, Degrees of Protection Provided by Enclosures (IP Code).

the Battery
Battery Care
The battery is water-resistant and is suitable for outdoor
●
use. Do not submerge the battery in water. Do not
dismantle, open or shred the battery.
●
Remove the battery from the cot before pressure-
washing the cot.
●

for disinfecting and cleaning instructions.
●
Before washing or pressure-washing the cot, remove

a charge. Do not dispose of batteries with municipal
waste. See page 39.
●
Replace a damaged or cracked battery.
NOTICE
The cot is water-resistant. When pressure-washing:
●
Remove the battery and cover the cable end with a plastic
bag. Close the bag with a wire tie or rubber band.
●
Keep nozzle pressure at 3000 psi/20,684 kPa or less, or 4
gallons per minute/15 liters per minute or less.
Keep the nozzle at least 18"/457 mm from the cot at all
●
times during cleaning.
To clean the display, reduce water pressure and/or increase
●
the distance (greater than 18"/457 mm).
●
Do not spray water upward into the cables or forcibly at or
