WARNING:
Check periodically to ensure that the patient remains properly positioned. If necessary, use the optional seat
belt to keep patients from sliding or falling forward while in a chair position. Use of pillows can maintain side-to-
side positioning. Injury to the patient may result from improper positioning.
WARNING:
Do not articulate the head section with the patient buckled with the Seat Belt. Patient injury can occur.
WARNING:
Do not use the Seat Belt as a restraint device. The Seat Belt is only to maintain correct patient positioning in
the chair position.
WARNING:
The patient’s feet must be supported at all times while in the chair position. Extended periods of time without
support can cause discomfort and reduced circulation. Refer to page 6, the FlexAfoot™ Retractable Foot
Control, and/or move the patient down in the bed until the patient’s feet are supported. Injury to the patient may
result from improper positioning.
WARNING:
Do not transport a patient with the TotalCare® Bariatric Bed in a chair position. Injury to the patient may result.
CAUTION:
Do not stand or sit on the footboard. Damage to equipment may result.
Chair Egress
The head section rises 75°, the knee section lowers to 0°, the foot section
lowers to 85°, and the Hi-Lo lowers to its lowest height. The foot section also
fully retracts automatically.
The chair egress feature allows the caregiver to easily position a patient to
egress from the foot end of the TotalCare® Bariatric Bed.
NOTE:
The FullChair® Patient Egress Position Mechanism is intended to facilitate
patient egress and not long-term sitting.
To Activate:
• Ensure the casters are in the trailing position.
• Set the brake.
• Remove the footboard.
• Press the Enable control.
• Press the Chair control. The patient deck transitions to the chair egress position. Monitor the patient as the
system moves to the egress position.
• Assist the patient with egress.
