b)
Use accessory AD113A when an abdominal belt is being used singly
or with ankle restraints
c)
Lower the foot end siderails to their half-raised position when the risk
of the patient slipping between the siderails is significant but does
not present serious risks for the patient’s health.
7.1.5 Mattresses
Only mattresses recommended by Hill-Rom
®
should be used.
In order to reduce the risk of the mattress sliding, it is recommended that the
mattress be placed between the raised edges and that it is laid correctly on
the sleep surface.
Should you wish to use a mattress other than those recommended, please
ensure that it is compatible with the Hill-Rom
®
bed model and that it will not
have any undue effect on performance, quality or safety.
Use of the bed with a mattress exceeding the recommended height (175
mm) may reduce siderail effectiveness.
The beds are designed for use with standard size mattresses (Length: 195-
200 cm, Width: 85-88 cm) suitable for the sleep surface dimensions.
If the bed is fitted with an electrically powered dynamic mattress, the power
cord must be stored so as to prevent it from being cut by the moving parts of
the bed.
If the mattress power cord is unplugged, it is advisable to store it on one of
the headboard supports (section 4.9).
7.1.6 Cleaning and authorised cleaning fluids (see chapter 6)
Always disconnect the bed from the mains power supply before cleaning.
Ensure that all internal electrical connections are secured.
After cleaning, always ensure that the bed is perfectly dry and that all
functions are operational.
Only use authorised cleaning fluids and products.
7.1.7 Electrical function lock-out
The electrical function lock-out controls prevent any undue bed movement
which might cause injury to the patient (for instance when under traction). It
is highly recommended that functional lock-out should be used whenever a
patient is undergoing examination or treatment or when the bed is going
through maintainence or being moved. Functions should also be locked out
when the patient is left unattended and if nursing staff believe that the
patient is not capable of safely operating the controls independently.
