To avoid possible injury and to assure proper operation when using model number 2750, 2850, 2920, 2950 or 2981
mattress:
• Confirm proper scale system operation following mattress installation. For best results, secure the therapy mattress
power cord to prevent damage to the cord or interference with the bed frame and the scale system.
• Do not zero bed scales or weigh patient with Percussion, Vibration, Rotation or Turn Assist active. Patient motion
and position resulting from the dynamic therapy mattress may adversely affect scale system performance.
• Do no initialize (“arm”) bed exit with Percussion, Vibration, Rotation or Turn Assist active. The patient motion and
position resulting from the dynamic therapy mattress may adversely affect bed exit system performance.
• When using an XPRT (2950), Position PRO (2920), Impression (2981), ComfortGel (2850) or Symmetric Aire
(2750) mattress, extra caution and/or operator supervision is required to help reduce the likelihood of a patient fall
occurring.
CAUTION
• When large spills occur in the area of the circuit boards, 230 volt cables and motors, immediately unplug the bed
power cord from the wall socket. Remove the patient from the bed and clean up the fluid. Have maintenance
completely check the bed. Fluids can affect the operational capabilities of any electrical product. DO NOT put
the bed back into service until it is completely dry and has been thoroughly tested for safe operation.
• Preventative maintenance should be performed at a minimum of annually to ensure all bed features are functioning
properly. Close attention should be given to safety features including, but not limited to, safety side latching
mechanisms, frayed electrical cords and components, all electrical controls returning to the off or neutral position
when released, caster braking systems, no controls or cabling entangled in bed mechanisms, leakage current
microamps maximum, scale and bed exit systems calibrated properly, and the siderail gas spring not leaking oil.
• Because individual beds may have different options, footboards should not be moved from one bed to another.
Mixing footboards could result in unpredictable bed operation.
• The lockout buttons on the footboard lock the Fowler, Gatch and Bed Up/Down functions and prevent motion of
the bed. It is the responsibility of attending medical personnel to determine whether these functions should be
locked and to use the buttons accordingly.
• The maximum safe working load for each I.V. pole is 40 pounds.
• I.V. Poles should not be used as a bed push/pull device.
• Scale function may be affected by siderail/caster interference. With the litter fully lowered or lowered in Reverse
Trendelenburg, the siderails tucked under the litter in the storage position and the casters turned, there is the
potential for interference between the siderail and the caster. Raise the siderails when lowering the litter to the full
down position to prevent the interference from causing the scale system to weigh inaccurately
• The use of a mattress overlay may reduce the effectiveness of the siderail.
• The cleanliness and integrity of both ground chains must be maintained to minimize static build up and
discharge.
• Do not add or remove weight when the bed exit system is armed.
• There is a possible fire hazard when using half bed length type oxygen administering equipment. Ensure that the
siderails are outside of the tent.
• There is a possible fire hazard when used with oxygen administering equipment of other than the nasal or mask
type. Lock the control at foot of bed when using oxygen administering equipment.
• The weight of the foley bags placed on isolated bag hooks should not exceed five pounds.
• The weight of pumps placed on footboard pump holder should not exceed 45 pounds.
• The safe working load of the defibrillator tray is 40 lbs.
• The safe working load of the oxygen holder is 45 lbs.
• Scale accuracy specifications do not apply for patients under 50 lbs.
