Preventive Maintenance
Chapter 6: General Procedures
Preventive Maintenance
WARNING:
Only facility-authorized personnel should service the VersaCare™ Bed.
Servicing by unauthorized personnel could result in personal injury or
equipment damage.
The VersaCare™ 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 to make sure
of a long, operative life for the VersaCare™ Bed. PM will minimize downtime
due to excessive wear.
The following PM schedule guides you through a normal PM procedure on the
VersaCare™ Bed. During this PM process, examine 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 VersaCare™ Bed. However, your facility can modify this checklist or
design another to fit your needs. Two effective ways to reduce downtime and
make sure the patient remains comfortable are keeping close records and
maintaining the VersaCare™ Bed.
Every 3 years, the batteries should be replaced by a facility-authorized
maintenance personnel.
