Emergency Caregiver Foot Controls
An Emergency CPR and an Emergency Trendelenburg control pedal is located on
each side of the base frame between the head end and foot end casters.
HandsFree® Emergency Trendelenburg Release Mechanism
Under normal power, the TotalCare® Bariatric Bed is capable of 15°
Trendelenburg and 15° Reverse Trendelenburg. The emergency
Trendelenburg feature is capable of achieving up to a 20° angle if the bed is in
the full height position.
To Activate:
• The head section must be flat for the Emergency Trendelenburg
feature to achieve the desired position.
• With your foot, lift and hold the TREN pedal. When the articulating
frame has reached the full or desired Trendelenburg position, release
the TREN pedal.
• If movement of the articulating frame stops before the maximum 15° is achieved, raise the articulating frame
higher by using the Bed Up control.
WARNING:
The overall angle of emergency Trendelenburg is directly proportional to the height of the bed. To ensure that
a maximum of 15° can be achieved, the bed system should always be transported in a mid-height position. If
the bed is in low position and AC power is not available, use pillows to elevate the patient’s feet until
Trendelenburg can be achieved.
HandsFree® Emergency CPR Release Mechanism
When connected to AC power, the CPR release lowers the head and knee
sections, and raises the foot section. The head section moves to a flat position
within 10 seconds. Emergency CPR is also functional in the chair egress and
recliner positions. When the pedal is held down for 4 seconds, a tone sounds
and the foot section rises. The foot section moves to a flat position within a
maximum of 25 seconds if fully articulated.
If the power cord is unplugged, only the head section lowers. To stop the
automatic foot up articulation, press any control except for Bed Up/Down, and
the foot section will stop.
NOTE:
The headboard can be used as a CPR board in emergency situations.
