Subject: Stryker’s Prime Series® Big Wheel® Electric Stretcher Exclusive Features Date: March 1, 2022

This letter is a product capability statement regarding the exclusive features for the Stryker’s Prime Series Big Wheel Electric Stretcher.

Stryker’s Prime Series Big Wheel Electric Stretcher is an ‘exclusive sole source’ product providing unique differentiating features, that, to our knowledge, cannot be found on any other products on the market. You will not find these specific product features collectively on another product currently available. Stryker certifies that we are the sole manufacturer and sole domestic distributer of all models of Stryker’s Prime Series Stretchers.

Stryker’s Prime Series Big Wheel Electric Stretcher Exclusives:

• Stryker’s Prime Series Big Wheel Electric Stretcher provides an innovative advanced technology design that helps reduce strenuous pushing, pulling and steering, which can result in caregiver injuries. These features not only increase efficiency but more importantly, contribute to long-term back health.

• Stryker’s Prime Series Big Wheel Electric Stretcher is, to our knowledge, the only stretcher on the market with six wheels. The primary steering mechanism functions on two wheels (not one) helping to eliminate sliding when turning or cornering.

• Stryker’s Prime Series Big Wheel Electric Stretcher is the only stretcher available with a two-zone exit alert system using load-cell technology — the Chaperone Exit System. Zone One is the larger zone, allowing patients more movement before an alert sounds. Zone Two is the smaller zone, to alert caregivers of slight movements and is useful when patients are a high fall risk.

• Stryker’s Prime Series Big Wheel Electric Stretcher has an electric lift that eliminates manual pumping. Simply step on the hydraulic pedal to raise the litter for quick patient access.

• Stryker’s Prime Series Big Wheel Electric Stretcher is equipped with powered foot-end controls to allow caregivers to safely adjust a patient’s head-end and knee gatch with a touch of a button. Staggered patient controls on the siderails allow patients the independence to adjust their position to help enhance comfort. Patient controls can be disabled if needed.

• Stryker’s Prime Series Big Wheel Electric Stretcher is equipped with Glideaway siderails. With one fluid motion, these exclusive Glideaway siderails provide patient security when raised, yet are completely out of the way when lowered for zero-gap transfers.

• Stryker’s Prime Series Big Wheel Electric Stretcher is equipped with a Recovery Chair Position. This unique position helps eliminate the need for unnecessary transfers by providing a comfortable position for patients to recover. This innovative feature makes daily patient handling easier and supports both patient and hospital staff safety.

• Stryker’s Prime Series Big Wheel Electric Stretcher has metal brakes on all casters for patient security and product longevity. Brake pedals are located on all four sides four quick and easy accessibility.
