Preventive Maintenance (Capital Products Only)
WARNING:
Only facility-authorized personnel should service the TotalCare®
Bariatric Bed. Servicing performed by unauthorized personnel could
result in personal injury or equipment damage.
The TotalCare® Bariatric Bed requires an effective maintenance program. We
recommend that you perform semi-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 TotalCare® Bariatric Bed. PM will
minimize downtime due to excessive wear.
The following PM schedule guides you through a normal PM procedure on the
TotalCare® Bariatric 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 TotalCare® Bariatric 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 TotalCare® Bariatric Bed.
The PM schedule and checklist is intended to guide the technician through
normal PM on the TotalCare® Bariatric Bed. For effective PM, each item on
the schedule must be checked and any necessary adjustments must be
performed. See “Preventive Maintenance Schedule and Checklist” on page
6-12.
