Bed Up/Bed Down (Hilow)
CAUTION:
Make sure the bed does not touch the wall at the head end. When the bed is raised, it moves
slightly towards the head end. If the bed is too close to the wall, damage could occur.
The
Bed Up/Bed Down
controls located on both siderails allow you to raise or lower the bed 16" (41
cm). The low position is for general use and to assist with patient egress, while the high position is
used for patient procedures.
Location:
Caregiver siderail (right hand and left hand)
To Activate:
• Press and hold the
Bed Up
button to raise the bed.
• Press and hold the
Bed Down
button to lower the bed.
WARNING:
Leave the bed in the low position when the patient is unattended. This can reduce the possibility of patient
falls and the severity of any resultant injuries.
NOTE:
If the foot section is at its lowest position when the bed is lowered, the bed will stop at a higher position to ensure
that the foot section does not interfere with the base.
NOTE:
If the bed is in the low position and the Trend-Like function is activated, the bed will rise to the appropriate height to
allow the bed to move to the full Trend-Like position.
Foot Section
The
Foot Up/Foot Down
controls located on both siderails enable you to raise or lower
the foot section of the bed 9" (23 cm) of travel from its lowest position.
Location:
Caregiver and patient siderails (right hand and left hand).
The
Foot Up/Down
buttons are the arrows located on the right side of
the label.
WARNING:
When the labor grips and calf supports are in position for use, be careful when
you lower the foot section. Failure to do so could cause the patient’s hands to
become trapped between the labor grip and calf support.
To Activate:
• Press and hold the
Foot Up
button to raise the foot section of the bed.
• Press and hold the
Foot Down
button to lower the foot section of the bed.
NOTE:
If the foot section is at its lowest position when the bed is lowered, the bed will stop at a higher position to ensure
that the foot section does not interfere with the base.
