To prevent a Proactive PMBAB42 mattress and gel mattress from sliding, you should use the mattress retainer system. Flip up the mattress guard at the bottom edge of the foot deck to reduce mattress movement. Also, ensure that the mattress is appropriate for the bed and properly sized to meet entrapment zone dimensional guidelines. Adjust the mattress retainer system accordingly to keep the mattress fixed in place.

General Information Symbol definitions Signal words with symbols are used in this manual to improve readability and increase understanding of its content. These symbols are also designed to highlight hazards or unsafe practices which could result in personal injury or property damage.
Intended Use The PROTEKT AKRA BARIATRIC™ Full Electric Bariatric Bed is intended for use within an institutional healthcare environment, i.e., nursing homes, rehabilitation care, assisted living. The bed is not a transport device. The wheels on the bed are for positioning the bed only.
Operating the Bed WARNING Do not operate your bed until it is fully assembled and checked. Do not exceed maximum weight limitations of the bed. Always make sure the power cable is clear of any moving parts of the bed before switching on the power.
For maximum resident safety, casters should be locked at all times, except when moving the bed. Performing Maintenance WARNING Only qualified personnel should carry out the bed maintenance. Do not attempt to open the pre-sealed actuator or obtain local service. Doing such will void the warranty and might result in damage.
Radio Frequency and Interference WARNING Most electronic equipment is influenced by Radio Frequency Interference (RFI). Caution should be exercised with regard to the use of portable communication equipment in the area around such equipment. If RFI causes erratic behavior, switch the power off immediately. Do not turn the power switch on while transmission is in progress.
Reducing the Risk of Entrapment WARNING The Hospital Bed Safety Workgroup (HBSW) in partnership with the FDA has recognized potential entrapment zones in hospital bed systems and has developed dimensional guidance to reduce the risk of entrapment. They have identified seven zones in the bed system where there is a potential for patient entrapment.
Steps to Prevent Bed Fires Inspect the bed’s power cord for damage. Connect the power cord directly into a wall-mounted outlet that is in good working order, with no cracks or chips. The plug should fit tightly into the outlet.
