171051(12) - Hillrom™ 900 Electric Bed Instructions for Use
It is thus the responsibility of the nursing staff to authorize the patient to use certain
bed functions, including the HiLow.
The "Shock"*, Trendelenburg, Reverse Trendelenburg, chair* and return to flat*
functions must only be accessible to caregivers.
Electrical safety
When direct intravascular or intracardiac connections are in use, the electric
potentials of all the unprotected metal parts need to be equalized. The bed must be
connected to a mains electric power supply with earth protection.
In an environment where the electrostatic discharges are prevalent, we recommend
using an antistatic caster.
The mains power supply for the bed must comply with relevant standards:
• NF C 15-100 and NF C 15-211 (France),
• International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 364 for other locations.
Check that the bed’s power requirements on the identification label (see “Electrical
characteristics” page 13) correspond to the power supply voltage of the hospital.
The power supply should be equipped with a maximum 30 mA earth
leakage circuit breaker, in compliance with IEC 364-5-53.
All the parts of the bed that are within the patient's reach, even if they are under
the frame, are applied parts.
If the integrity of the protective conductor is in doubt, the beds fitted with batteries
must be used in battery mode.
In compliance with standards relating to electromagnetic interference for medical
equipment, this product does not interfere with other medical devices or is not
susceptible to interference when combined with other medical devices that also
comply with the electromagnetic standards in force.
Some devices, particularly older ones that do not comply with the electromagnetic
compatibility standards, may however undergo interference or may themselves
interfere with the working of this product.
The users of such devices are responsible for ensuring that any malfunctions will
not endanger the patient or any other person.
Use of this equipment adjacent to or stacked with other equipment should be avoided
because it could result in improper operation. If such use is necessary, this equipment
and the other equipment should be observed to verify that they are operating
normally.
Ensure that the power cord is unplugged and hooked to the bed before moving the
bed (see “Securing the power cable” page 74).
Only duly qualified and authorized staff should carry out electrical maintenance.
