Safety

Transport
CAUTION:
The Advanta™ Bed is intended to be used to transport patients with the foot end of the bed forward. Prior to
transport, properly store the power cord to help prevent tripping. Use only the headboard transport handles to
move the bed during transport. Do not transport patients while the bed is in the chair position.
CAUTION:
Make sure that the patient, equipment, and all lines are securely placed within the perimeter of the bed for
intra-hospital transport.
CAUTION:
If equipped with the utility shelf, secure all of the equipment on the shelf with straps, and observe the 45 lb (20
kg) weight limit. Keep the utility shelf horizontal during patient transport.
CAUTION:
Fully extended IV poles could impact doorways or ceiling fixtures. Lower the poles prior to patient transport.
CAUTION:
Be sure to connect the nurse call system cables after transport is complete.
Sleep Surface Mattress
Do not use mattresses, mattress overlays, mattress replacements, or specialty mattress products that have not been
designed or authorized by Hill-Rom for use on the Advanta™ Bed. Use of sleep surfaces other than those designed for
the Advanta™ Bed could substantially reduce the effectiveness of the safety features incorporated into the system.
CAUTION:
The sleep surface impermeability and pressure relieving capabilities could be affected by needle sticks or other
bladder punctures. Caregivers should be instructed to avoid bladder punctures caused by needle sticks or
improper use of x-ray cassette holders. The sleep surface should be regularly inspected for such damage.
