Important Precautions
Caution:
Rotating parts. Keep fingers and arms clear
of bed when mechanism is moving.
Caution:
Pinch points. Keep objects away from these
areas while bed is in motion.
Caution:
Electrical hazard may occur if bed is plugged
into inadequate power supply. Make sure to use a 115
volt, 3 prong, grounded outlet with a capacity of at
least 15 amps.
Caution:
Keep feet clear of casters. Make sure
casters are locked before transferring patients.
Caution:
Make sure that the cords from the control
module and pendant are properly positioned before
operating the bed. Do not allow either cord to get
caught in the moving parts of the bed.
Caution:
When using a turning mattress, make sure
there is a bolster between the mattress and side rail.
Warning:
Keep all objects out from under bed. Certain
parts under the bed raise and lower when the bed is
in motion.
Warning:
Do not place arms or head into frame
while operating. Stand clear of the bed frame before
operating.
Warning:
Do not operate this device if the power cord
or any of the cords coming from the control module are
cut, frayed, damaged or loosely connected.
Warning:
Do not service the bed without first
disconnecting the power cord.
Warning:
The bed must be unplugged from the wall
socket prior to using the emergency crank. Failure to
do so may result in damage to the bed and injury to
the personnel using the crank.
Warning:
ESD - electrostatic discharge.
Warning:
The bed should be left in the lowest position
when unattended in order to reduce the risk of injury
due to falls while getting into or out of bed, or while
lying on the bed.
Warning:
When raising or lowering bed, casters at
the foot end should be in the steer position. Head end
should be free to move.
Warning: Possible Fire Hazard.
Use nasal mask or
½ bed tent oxygen administering equipment. Oxygen
tent should not extend below mattress support
platform. Pendant should not be placed in an oxygen
enriched environment such as an oxygen tent. Use of
electrical circuits in an oxygen-enriched environment
could result in a fire hazard.
Warning:
Possible Injury Or Death.
An optimal
bed system assessment should be conducted on
each resident by a qualified clinician or medical
provider to ensure maximum safety of the resident.
The assessment should be conducted within the
context of, and in compliance with, the state and
federal guidelines related to the use of restraints
and bed system entrapment guidance, including
the
Clinical Guidance for the Assessment and
Implementation of Side Rails
published by the Hospital
Bed Safety Workgroup of the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration. Further information can be obtained
at the following web address: http://www.fda.gov/

default.htm.
Warning: Possible Injury Or Death.
Use a properly
sized mattress in order to minimize the gap between
the side of mattress and Side Rails/Assist Devices.
This gap must be small enough to prevent resident/
patient from getting his/her head or neck caught in
this location. Make sure that raising or lowering bed,
or contouring the mattress support platform, does
not create any hazardous gaps. Excessive gaps may
result in injury or death.
Warning: Possible Injury Or Death.
Residents/
patients may become entangled in pendant cord.
Patients with reduced mental acuity should not be
allowed access to pendant. Unsupervised use of
pendant could result in injury or death.
Caution:
Before transporting bed, unplug bed from
power source, secure Power Cord on cord storage
straps on Head Panel and hang Pendant from Head
Panel. Failure to do so could result in Power Cord,
pendant cord, or bed damage, thereby creating a
potential hazard.
Caution:
Extend all four sections on each side prior to
adjusting bed position or side rails.
Warning:
Use Width Extenders only after the resident/
patient is safely positioned in the bed. Failure to do so
could result in injury.
