Preventive Maintenance
WARNING:
Only facility-authorized personnel should perform preventive
maintenance on the RESIDENT® Low Bed. Preventive maintenance
performed by unauthorized personnel could result in personal injury or
equipment damage.
The RESIDENT® Low 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 ensure a
long, operative life for the RESIDENT® Low Bed. PM will minimize
downtime due to excessive wear.
The following PM schedule guides you through a normal PM procedure on the
RESIDENT® Low 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 RESIDENT® Low Bed. However, your facility can modify this checklist
or design another to fit your needs. Keeping close records and maintaining the
RESIDENT® Low Bed are two effective ways to reduce downtime and ensure
the patient remains comfortable.
