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 36.
Backrest angle
These buttons raise and lower the backrest.
Bio-Contour
The
Bio-Contour up
button simultaneously raises the backrest and thigh
sections to provide upright patient profiling; the raised thigh section prevents
the patient sliding down the bed.
The
Bio-Contour down
button returns the mattress platform to a flat position.
Mattress
platform height
These buttons raise and lower the mattress platform.
When the mattress platform is lowered to 38cm* above the floor, it will pause
then continue to lower until it reaches its minimum height.
(* 40cm on beds with 150mm castors.)
WARNING
At minimum height, clearance underneath the bed is reduced. Keep your feet away
from the areas below the split side rails and take extra care when using patient hoists
or similar equipment.
