WARNING
Where risk assessment indicates that a patient is at high risk of entrapment owing to
their medical condition or other circumstances, and where there is no medical benefit
from their being left in a contoured position, place the mattress platform in the flat
position when the patient is unattended.
It is recommended to use the
Function Lockout
facility on the Attendant Control Panel
to prevent unintended movement in situations where objects may press against the
patient’s controls.
When the bed is operated, make sure that obstacles such as bedside furniture do not
restrict its movement.
The bed can only be moved on firm surfaces. Gradients must not exceed an angle of
10 degrees.
When moving or operating the bed, take care that any accessories attached to it (e.g.
lifting pole) do not strike doors, ceilings, etc.
Hold the head board or foot board when pushing or pulling the bed; do not hold the
side rails or any attached accessories.
Before operating the bed, make sure the patient is positioned correctly to avoid
entrapment or imbalance.
Take care when using equipment that needs to be positioned under the base frame to
ensure there is no contact with any part of the bed frame or components.
Take care not to squeeze or trap trailing cables from other equipment between moving
parts of the bed.
Take care not to allow clothing or bed linen to become snagged on moving parts of
the bed.
When operating moving parts of the bed, ensure the bed does not come into contact
with adjacent equipment which could be damaged by the beds operation.
