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.
Always keep hands and fingers away from moving parts to avoid injury.
Only use appropriate mattresses and always adjust the mattress retainer
system accordingly to ensure the mattress is fixed in place.
The mattress must be properly sized to meet entrapment zone dimensional
guidelines published by the FDA. For a full listing of products/mattresses,
please visit our website at www.proactivemedical.com.
The mattress platform shall be kept in a flat position if the patient's condition
could lead to patient entrapment.
Never permit anyone under the bed at any time.
Do not use side rails as handles to move the bed.
The side rails may not be used as a restraint.
When operating/moving the bed, ensure that the resident is positioned
properly within the confines of the bed. Do not let any extremities protrude
over the side or between the rails when performing these functions.
Keep all moving parts free from obstruction (i.e., blankets/sheets, pads,
tubing, etc.) which may get tangled around the bed, side rails, or legs.
When using nasal or masked type administering equipment, oxygen or air
tubing must be routed and secured properly to ensure tubing does not
become entangled, kinked, or severed during normal operation of the bed.
The caster lock provides the resident with a stable and secure bed,
providing easy access in and out of the bed. Check that the caster lock is
engaged and the bed is solidly in place before leaving the bed unattended
or before attempting resident transfers into or out of the bed.
The caster lock is not intended to be used on a sloping floor or building
access ramp. Failure to comply could result in injury or death.
