Preventive Maintenance
WARNING:
Only facility-authorized personnel should service the S-H-300 Series Stretcher. Servicing performed by unauthorized
personnel could result in injury or equipment damage.
The S-H-300 Series Stretcher requires an effective maintenance program. We recommend that you perform annual
preventive maintenance (PM) and testing for Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health Care Organizations (JCAHO).
PM and testing not only meet JCAHO requirements but will help ensure a long, operative life for the S-H-300 Series
Stretcher.
PM will minimize downtime due to excessive wear.
Perform annual preventive maintenance procedures to make sure all S-H-300 Series Stretcher components are
functioning as originally designed. Pay particular attention to safety features, including but not limited to the following:
• Siderail latching mechanisms
• Caster braking systems
• Integrity of sleep surface ticking
• Hydraulic Functionality
• Integrity of warning/caution labels
• Oil leakage from hydraulic piston
