Stryker Trauma
Stryker · Model Trauma
Full-length X-ray capability. Securely-mounted, lateral C-spine cassette holder. Precisely position slide-out tray for supreme imaging results. 90-degree backrest helps facilitate imaging access.
Key tips
- ·Casters and the wheel-lock brake take the most day-to-day wear - check both every PM, not just on complaint.
- ·A cracked weld or loose frame joint is a safety-critical finding - pull the unit from service until it's repaired.
Typical Failure Modes
Compiled for this model from its own documentation and established engineering knowledge for this equipment class - not from a verified service record. Confirm against the manufacturer's service manual.
Hydraulic height / Trendelenburg will not lift or holds poorly
HighSymptoms: Pump will not raise the deck, or the deck settles under load.
Root cause: Worn hydraulic pump / seals, an internal valve leak, or low hydraulic fluid.
Brake / steer castor fault
MediumSymptoms: Brake will not hold, fifth-wheel steer ineffective, castor shimmy.
Root cause: Worn brake linkage, castors, or the fifth-wheel mechanism.
Backrest / Fowler mechanism fault
MediumSymptoms: Backrest will not raise / hold, gas strut weak, pneumatic assist failed.
Root cause: Worn gas spring / strut or the release mechanism.
Siderail / IV pole / accessory fault
LowSymptoms: Siderails will not latch or drop, IV pole loose, litter attachments worn.
Root cause: Worn latches, detents, or accessory sockets.
Powered drive fault (powered stretchers)
MediumSymptoms: Drive assist will not engage or is weak, drive-fault code.
Root cause: Drive battery, motor / controller, or the throttle.

PM Checklist
Preventive-maintenance tasks typical of this equipment class. Perform to the manufacturer's procedure and your facility's policy - this is general reference, not a schedule for this specific unit.
- ·Caster / wheel and brake function check
- ·Frame, weld, and mounting-hardware inspection
- ·Upholstery / surface condition check
- ·Annual full PM
Troubleshooting Approach
A starting sequence for this model, compiled from its documentation and engineering knowledge for this equipment class. Follow the manufacturer's service documentation for the actual procedure.
Symptom: Will not lift or settles under load
- Check the hydraulic fluid level.
- Pump the deck up under load and time how fast it settles.
- Inspect the pump and cylinder for external leaks.
- Rebuild the pump with the seal kit or bleed the system per the manual.
- Confirm it holds at full height under the rated load.
Symptom: Brake will not hold or castor shimmy
- Inspect the brake linkage and each castor.
- Adjust the central-brake linkage.
- Replace worn castors and the fifth-wheel components.
- Confirm the brake holds on an incline.
- Check steer-lock engagement.

Safety & Recalls
Synced live from the FDA openFDA API.
- RECALL
A review of packaging revealed the seal integrity of the pouch may be compromised. More specifically, there is a potential that the sterile pouch is not sealed at one end due to a manufacturing error.
- RECALL
It was reported that the secondary locking mechanism, and its corresponding components, disassociated from the Specialty Triathlon Tibial Alignment Handle with Secondary Lock Assembly during surgery. Upon further investigation, it was discovered that the weld, which was intended to hold the secondary locking mechanism together, did not meet the weld size specified on the engineering drawing.
- RECALL
Potential for implant deformation, implant mechanical stability too low, loss of barrier adhesion intra-operatively, implant damage, implant cracking off/breaking intra-operatively.
- RECALL
The Stryker NAV3i Platform Power Boxes produced between December 9, 2013 and March 7, 2014 may have been assembled without electrical insulation of the soldering joints
- RECALL
Stryker became aware during laboratory testing that there is a potential that the seal integrity of the outer pouch (sterile barrier) may be compromised for certain lots of the product Teflon Tube, sterile.
- RECALL
Three complaints have been filed where the Hoffman LRF Telescopic Struts have broken during load bearing application by patients having a body weight greater than 250 LBS.
- RECALL
Stryker has become aware that there exists a potential for breach of the sterile barrier of packaging associated with certain lots of T2 Knee Arthrodesis Nails.
- RECALL
There is potential for a breach in sterility in the blister packaging. This can lead to the use of non-sterile product which, if contaminated, could lead to a patient infection.
- RECALL
Instruction for use incorrect: There are no statements or warning on labels or Instructions for Use that 8, 9 and 10 mm diameter MRS Cemented Stems are indicated only for use in the GMRS Proximal Tibial and Distal Femoral Components.
