WARNING (CONTINUED)
•
Service only by qualified personnel. Refer to the maintenance manual. Verify the power cord is unplugged and the
battery power switch (EPIC II
®
PLUS option) is turned to the off position before servicing.
•
When using the Symmetric Aire
TM
Mattress, extra caution and or operator supervision is required to help reduce
the likelihood of a patient fall occurring.
To avoid possible injury and to assure proper operation when using a powered mattress replacement system such as
XPRT:
•
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 scales 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 not 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 Therapy Mattress extra caution and or operator supervision is required to help reduce the
likelihood of a patient fall occurring.
CAUTION
•
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 bed’s scale system to weigh inaccurately.
•
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.
•
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.
•
If large fluid spills occur in the area of the circuit boards or 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 short out controls and may cause the bed to operate erratically or make some functions completely
inoperable. Component failure, caused by fluids, could cause the bed to operate unpredictably and could cause
injury to the patient.
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 features are functioning as
designed. Close attention should be given to safety features including, but not limited to:
•
Safety side latching mechanisms
•
Caster braking systems,
•
Leakage current 300 µA max
•
No controls or cabling entangled in bed mechanisms
•
Frayed electrical cords and components
•
All controls return to off or neutral position when released.
•
The siderails are not intended to be used as a pushing device. Damage to the siderails could occur.
•
The use of a mattress overlay may reduce the effectiveness of the siderail.
•
When attaching equipment to the bed, ensure it will not impede normal bed operation or patient injury could occur.
For example: Hooks on hanging equipment must not actuate control buttons, equipment must not hide the nurse
call button, etc.
•
The weight of the I.V. bags should not exceed 40 pounds.
•
Do not add or remove weight when the bed exit system is armed.
•
The cleanliness and integrity of both ground chains must be maintained to minimize static build-up and
discharge.
•
I.V. Poles should not be used as a bed push/pull device.
