Bed Functions
The Advanta™ Bed is equipped with both head and knee function controls on the patient side of each head end
siderail.
NOTE:
To prevent a patient from using the bed functions, activate the appropriate lockout on the footboard control panel.
Head Section
The patient can use the Head Up/Head Down controls to raise or lower the head section of the bed to the desired
position. Unlike the caregiver head section controls, the patient head section controls incorporate the automatic
contour feature. The automatic contour feature raises the knee section automatically when the Head Up function is
activated. This helps keep the patient from sliding towards the foot end of the bed.
Knee Section
The patient can use the Knee Up/Knee Down controls to raise or lower the knee section of the bed to the desired
position. The patient can also use the Knee Down control to disable the automatic contour function when the Head Up
function is activated.
Easy-Grip Siderails
Each siderail is equipped with built-in ridges near the top edge of the
siderail. It is designed to help the patient during repositioning or egress by
providing a more secure grip on the siderails.
