For the bed exit alarm signal to be heard in the nurse station, the bed must be equipped with the
optional nurse call function and be connected to the hospital nurse call system. For beds
equipped with the Bed Exit function but not with the Nurse Call option, the alarm signal will be
heard only in the patient's room.
Be sure to place the patient on the bed in its normal position before activating the bed exit.
The Bed Exit system is intended only to aid in the detection of a patient exiting the bed. It is not
intended to replace patient monitoring protocol. The Bed Exit system signals when a patient is
about to exit the bed. Adding or removing objects from the bed after having armed the Bed Exit
system may cause a reduction in the sensitivity of the Bed Exit system, resulting in erroneous
readings of the patient's movements in the bed.
The Bed Exit system is not designed to be used with patients weighing less than 50 lb (23 kg).

When the bed is equipped with a scale, the scale must be properly zeroed for the Bed Exit to
function properly (see page 18, “Operating (Zeroing) the Scale Before Putting a New Patient on
the Bed”). If the bed is not equipped with a scale, follow the procedure below:
•
Before putting a new patient on the bed: prepare the bed for a patient stay by adding linens
and equipment to the bed.
•
Press and hold the ARM/DISARM key (A) until the ARMED LED (B) begins to flash (do not
touch the bed while the LED flashes), then release the key. When the ARMED LED turns
off, the system is zeroed.
To
activate
the Bed Exit, press the ARM/DISARM key (A). The ARMED LED (B) will come on.
To
deactivate
the Bed Exit after an alarm or simply to turn it off, press the ARM/DISARM key
(A). The Armed LED (B) will turn off.
