Brakes
The brakes are located on both sides of the swivel caster frame assembly at the
foot end of the bed. Some models have individually operated brakes and
require that both pedals be pressed and released separately.
Siderails
Siderails are located on both sides of the Resident
TM
LTC manual drive bed at
the head and foot sections. The siderails are raised and lowered independently
of each other. When not in use, safely store each siderail beneath the bed’s
sleep surface frame.
Siderails are visual reminders for residents that identify the location of the
edge of the bed. They are not intended for use as a restraint device.
Appropriate medical personnel must determine the level of restraint necessary
to ensure a resident will remain safely in bed. Failure to do so could result in
personal injury.
Bumper
A bumper assembly is secured to the fixed caster frame at the head end of the
bed.
CAUTION:
Removing the bumper assembly could cause damage to the bed or
facility.
IV Rod Sockets
Four IV rod sockets are provided. One is located at each outside corner of the
bed. Each socket allows installation of an IV rod (accessory).
Sleep Surface Support Frame
There are two sleep surface support frames available for use with the
Resident
TM
LTC manual drive bed. The mattress supporting spring fabric frame
is 36" x 80" (91.4 cm x 203.2 cm) and has 90 supporting helical springs for the
fabric assembly. The mattress supporting optional hard pan sleep surface frame
is 36" x 80" (91.4 cm x 203.2 cm). The outer surfaces of the panels are formed
down to prevent sharp edges.
