Arjohuntleigh Citadel Instructions For Use Manual page 6

Make sure the locking mechanisms are securely engaged when
the side rails are raised.
Prior to engaging any mattress turn feature, make sure that bed
frame has side rails and that all side rails are fully engaged in
their full upright and locked position. Do not activate the turning
feature on any mattress system when patient restraints are in
use.
Patient restraints should be used in compliance with all
applicable local regulations and in accordance with the
healthcare facility's own policies and procedures.
Patient restraints, even when correctly used, can result in
entrapment or injury, particularly if the patient is disorientated or
restless. The decision to use patient restraints must be made
by the clinician overseeing the care of the individual patient,
following a fully documented risk assessment.
Patient restraints are not intended as substitutes for good
nursing practice. ArjoHuntleigh makes no recommendations
regarding the use of such restraints.
To make sure the battery is kept fully charged and prevent
damage to the battery, the bed should be connected to the
electricity supply at all times during normal use.
The battery is intended for emergency, short term use only. Its
life will be reduced if it is used to power the bed for long periods.
Only connect devices designed to be used with the bed
Connecting devices not designed to be used with the bed may
result in damage to the equipment or to the bed.
At minimum height, clearance underneath the side rails is
reduced. Keep your feet away from the areas below the side
rails and take extra care when using patient hoists or similar
equipment.
The weighing system should only be used by staff trained in the
correct use of the weighing function.
The weighing system should only be used in closely supervised
environments, where factors influencing patient weight (such
as additions to the bed) can be controlled as described in the
following instructions for use.
