Use of accessories, transducers and cables other than those specified or provided by
Hill-Rom could result in increased electromagnetic emissions or decreased
electromagnetic immunity of this equipment and result in improper operation.
Waste packaging (plastic, cardboard, metal, wood, etc.) must follow suitable
recovery circuits with a view to being recycled.
Before installing the bed for the first time or after bringing the bed and its
accessories out of storage:
• ensure that the bed and its various parts are at room temperature,
• only connect the bed to a mains electric power supply with earth protection
(see “Electrical safety” page 8),
• the power plug must be accessible to disconnect the bed,
• wait 12 hours until the battery is fully charged before using the bed without
the mains power supply,
• make sure that all the moving parts are in good working order,
• make sure that the bed has been cleaned and disinfected (see
“Decontamination of the bed” page 75).
Risk prevention
General recommendations
In general:
• check that nothing (e.g. objects, accessories or power cable) or any persons
(e.g. children, limbs) will interfere with the movement of the mobile parts of
the bed before actuating them. An intermittent beep sounds when one of the
bed’s movements is hindered.
• during a movement or combination of movements of a mobile part of the bed
(eg, backrest, sleep surface, siderail), be vigilant (for oneself, the patient or
any other person) on the risks of pinching or crushing between moving parts
or with a fixed part.
• always check (e.g. to and fro movements) that the various locking
mechanisms are in good working order (e.g. siderails, extensions, grip
handles, brakes).
• sufficiently qualified nursing staff determine the usage condition suitable for
the various functions and the degree of supervision to ensure that the patient
uses the bed safely.
