NOTE: Bed Exit Alarm is triggered by dramatic weight reduction and may not alarm if patient is only partially exited from
bed. Monitor patient frequently to guard against patient entrapment and migration.
Ambulatory Patient Entrance and Exit - Lower the patient surface completely during assisted patient entrance and exit.
Fluids - Avoid spilling fluids on unit controls. If spills do occur, unplug unit. Clean fluid from unit, wearing rubber gloves to
avoid any possibility of shock. Once fluid is removed, check operation of components in area of spill.
NOTE: Fluids remaining on controls can cause corrosion, which may cause components to fail or to operate erratically,
possibly producing hazards for patient and staff.
Lock-Outs - Lock out of bed functions and air functions should be used at the staff's discretion to ensure against unintentional
operation of system settings.
Moving Parts - Powered bed mechanisms can cause serious injury. Keep all equipment, tubes and lines, loose clothing, hair
and parts of the body away from moving parts and pinch points.
Explosion Hazard - Do not use in the presence of flammable anesthetics.
Power Cord - Ensure power cord is kept free from all pinch points and moving parts and is not trapped under casters nor
covered with rugs or carpets. Visually inspect the cord for signs of damage or wear. Improper handling of the power cord can
cause damage to the cord, which may produce risk of fire or electric shock.
Hospital Grade Power - Unstable electrical ground may exist. Grounding reliability can only be achieved when the power
cord is connected to an equivalent receptacle marked Hospital Grade. Where the integrity of the external protective conductor
in the installation or its arrangement is in doubt, EQUIPMENT shall be operated from its Battery.
Avoid Fire Hazards - To minimize risk of fire, connect the bed's power cord directly into a wall-mounted outlet. Do not use
extension cords or multiple outlet strips. Review and follow FDA's Safety Tips for Preventing Hospital Bed Fires (dated
December 18, 2003).
Tobacco Smoke - If institutional or routine laundering and cleaning procedures are not followed, tobacco smoke build-up may
conceivably reduce the amount of air flow through the product. Severe air restrictions (whatever the source) may cause the
unit to overheat and to deactivate automatically.
Scale Readings - Scales / patient weights are for reference only. Scale readings should not be relied upon for medication
dosage.
Blank Display - If Main Control Panel remains blank, call for service immediately.
Batteries - Bed contains batteries and must be plugged in when not in service.
