For restraining devices, consult the restraint manufacturer’s instructions for use to verify
the correct application of each restraining device.
Brakes
WARNING:
Unless transporting the patient, always set the brakes when the unit is occupied.
Reconfirm that the brakes are set before any patient transfer. Failure to do so may
result in personal injury or equipment damage.
Patients often use the bed for support when getting off the bed and could be injured if the
bed unexpectedly moves. After setting the brakes, push and pull the bed siderails to make
sure it is secure.
Electrical Safety
CAUGHT HAZARD:
The risks associated with the use of electrical beds exceed the obvious electrical
shock hazards. Whenever a bed is being serviced, unplug it from its power
source, and disconnect the battery backup. Failure to do so could result in
personal injury or equipment damage.
SHOCK HAZARD:
The potential for electrical shock exists with electrical equipment. Failure to follow
facility protocols may result in death or serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Improper use or handling of the power cord may result in damage to the power
cord. If damage has occurred to the power cord, immediately remove the bed
from service, and contact the appropriate maintenance personnel. Failure to do so
could result in personal injury or equipment damage.
When the integrity of the external protective earth conductor is in doubt, operate the bed
from its internal battery backup.
Emergency CPR
The emergency CPR is to be used by healthcare professionals only.
Battery Backup
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.
The battery backup power comes from a lead acid battery, which needs to be disposed of
correctly and according to your local regulations. For assistance in disposing of the
battery, contact your maintenance technician.
