Hill-Rom® P500 Therapy Surface User Manual (158251 REV 3)
Fracture Frame
When a fracture frame is installed on the bed, do as follows:
1.
Put the bed at the applicable height and sleep deck configuration.
2.
Lock out the bed hilow and knee and foot section controls to
prevent movement.
3.
If adjustment of the bed height or sleep deck is necessary, do as
follows (refer to the bed product user manual for operation steps
specific to the frame):
a.
Disconnect the hose from the surface.
b.
Adjust the bed as necessary.
c.
Connect the hose to the surface.
NOTE:
The hose can be on the outside or inside of the fracture frame.
Siderails
WARNING:
Evaluate occupants for entrapment risk according to
facility/healthcare protocol, and monitor occupants appropriately.
Make sure all siderails are fully latched when in the raised
position. Failure to do either of these could cause serious injury
or death.
NOTE:
Siderails are intended to be a reminder to the occupant of the unit's
edges, not an occupant-restraining device. When appropriate, Hill-Rom
recommends that medical persons determine the proper methods
necessary to make sure an occupant remains safely in bed.
The P500 is compatible with different bed models. There will be some
differences of fit with different models and even from bed to bed of the
same model. If the force necessary to latch the siderails seems
excessive, make sure there are no obstructions in the latch mechanisms
and the surface is not in the Max Inflate mode.
