Preventive Maintenance
WARNING:
Only facility-authorized personnel should perform preventive
maintenance on the Advanta™ Bed. Preventive maintenance
performed by unauthorized personnel could result in personal injury or
equipment damage.
The Advanta
™
Bed requires an effective maintenance program. We
recommend that you perform annual preventive maintenance (PM) and testing
for Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO).
PM and testing not only meet JCAHO requirements but will help to ensure a
long, operative life for the Advanta
™
Bed. PM will minimize downtime due to
excessive wear.
The following PM schedule guides you through a normal PM procedure on the
Advanta
™
Bed. During this PM process, check each item on the schedule, and
make the necessary adjustments.
Follow the PM schedule with the corresponding PM checklist. This checklist is
designed to keep a running maintenance history and subsequent repair costs for
one Advanta
™
Bed. However, your facility can modify this checklist or design
another to fit your needs. Two effective ways to reduce downtime and ensure
the patient remains comfortable are keeping close records and maintaining the
Advanta
™
Bed.
