4. ELECTRONIC FUNCTIONS DESCRIBED
Prioma bed adjustments are powered by four electronic actuators which are either
controlled by handset, or by the inset buttons on both sides of the head end side rail
panels. They can also be controlled by an attendant control panel (ACP) at the foot of the
bed, or by a hook over control unit (ACOM) which enable the beds functions to be disabled
when required.
NOTE:
The following categories cover the range of electronic control devices and functions
that are available on the Prioma bed range. The devices that are relevant depends on the
model supplied. Some devices can be added if not fitted at time of purchase. Your Arjo
specialist can assist you with after sales support on Prioma accessories and options.
NOTE:
Adjustment occurs only while a button is pressed. Adjustment will stop when the
button is released, or the movement selection reaches the end of its range of adjustment.
(1) Backrest Adjustment
WARNING
Care should be taken whilst operating the backrest function to ensure hands
and fingers are away from potential squeeze hazards.
NOTE:
This control function is available to all control devices fitted to the bed.
To move the backrest up or down, press and hold the appropriate button or
buttons on the control device. The backrest can be adjusted through a range of
between 0° and 70°
The retracting backrest provides additional comfort for the patient by allowing the
mattress to expand. When operating the backrest buttons the backrest slides
progressively towards the head end of the bed. This action enlarges the seat
section of the bed and helps prevent compression of the abdomen reducing
shearing and risk of tissue damage.
The backrest adjustment actuator includes an inbuilt manual quick release CPR
function as well as a disengaging spline drive that only uses force in the push
direction.
(2) Mattress Platform Height Adjustment
WARNING
It is recommended that the bed be positioned at its lowest height when
unattended by caregivers to minimise the risk of patient injury from falls when
getting in and out of the bed.
