Compella™ Bariatric Bed System Instructions for Use (178951 REV 6) 29
Tilt and Reverse Tilt
You can use the Tilt and Reverse Tilt controls at any bed height. These controls are on
the control panel that is on the intermediate siderails.
For head-down Tilt —press and hold the Tilt control until the foot end of the bed raises
relative to the head end.
For head-up Reverse Tilt —press and hold the Reverse Tilt control until the head end
of the bed raises relative to the foot end.
NOTE:
If the bed is locked in the lowest height position, the Tilt or Reverse Tilt control will not
operate.
To return to the flat position —press the opposite control, Tilt or Reverse Tilt , or press
the Bed Flat control (see below) until the bed is at the desired position.
Bed Flat
The caregiver can easily return the sleep deck and bed to the flat and level position
(head and knee section down, and foot section up if it is down) from any articulated
position. The Bed Flat control is on the control panel that is on the intermediate
siderails.
To activate —press and hold the Bed Flat control until the system stops its
articulations. When all sections are flat and the bed is level, the system stops and sounds one beep.
NOTE:
If any frame function is locked, the Bed Flat control will not operate.
Cardiac Chair
CAUTION:
Caution —Do not transport a patient with the bed in the Chair position. Equipment
damage could occur.
The caregiver can adjust the bed to a cardiac chair position. When you press the chair
positioning control, the bed will articulate the head section to its highest position, the thigh section to
its highest position, and the reverse tilt to its limit.
NOTE:
The bed will not articulate into chair position if any of the articulation controls are locked out.
To Activate
1. Set the brake.
2. Press and hold the Chair control. The patient deck transitions into the chair position.
To further adjust the chair position for dining or patient comfort, use the Head, Knee, or Foot Shorter
controls.
Battery Back-Up
The bed has an automatic battery back-up feature. When AC power is not being supplied to the bed
and there is sufficient battery power, the battery permits the bed articulation functions (except for
powered width adjustment) to be
engaged from any of the caregiver siderail controls except the
Lockout control. The battery also powers the nurse call function.
