Thigh section
These buttons raise and lower the thigh section.
When the thigh section is first raised from the flat position, the
calf section will be in the Fowler position (angled downwards).
To change the calf section to the vascular (horizontal) position,
refer to the section
Adjusting the calf position
on page 30.
Auto-Chair
The
Auto-Chair up
button simultaneously raises the backrest
and thigh sections, pausing when the backrest reaches 45º.
Continue to hold the up button to lower the foot end of the
mattress platform into a chair position.
If the backrest angle is greater than 45º, it will return to 45º to
prevent the patient from tipping forwards.
The
Auto-Chair down
button returns the mattress platform to a
flat and level position.
Tilt angle
This button lowers the head end of the mattress platform
(Trendelenburg position).
This button lowers the foot end of the mattress platform
(reverse Trendelenburg position).
CPR position
If the patient suffers a cardiac arrest, press and hold the CPR
button. This will flatten the mattress platform (and lower it if
necessary) to enable cardio-pulmonary resuscitation to be
carried out.
The CPR button overrides the function lockout settings.
When returning from a tilted position, the mattress platform will
pause at the level (no tilt) position.
