Patient Restraint Straps
WARNING:
Patient restraints are not intended as
substitutes for good nursing practices.
Physical restraints, even correctly installed,
can result in entanglement, physical injury,
and death, particularly with agitated and
disoriented patients. Monitor patients when
using physical restraints in accordance with
legal requirements and facility protocol.
Installation slots for patient restraint straps are
located on both sides of the sleep surface, near
the siderails. For restraining devices, consult the
restraint manufacturer’s instructions for use to
verify the correct application of each restraining
device.
Battery Backup (Electric Model Only)
The Basic Care™ Bed has a battery backup as a
standard feature. The battery lets the hilow, foot, and
head motors continue operation when AC power is
not available.
NOTE:
If the battery is completely discharged, it may take
up to 5 hours to recharge.
CAUTION:
If the bed will not be in service for an extended
period of time, have appropriate maintenance
personnel remove the battery. Failure to do so
could result in damage to the life of the battery
or to the bed.
To make sure the battery is always charged, plug the bed into an appropriate power source
whenever possible.
Disposing of the Battery
The battery backup power comes from a lead acid battery. Hill-Rom recommends
replacing the battery every two years. Dispose of the battery correctly and according to
your local regulations. For assistance in disposing of the battery, contact your
maintenance personnel.
