SAFETY TIPS AND GUIDELINES
Before operating the Secure Bed, it is important to read and understand all information in this manual. Care-
fully read and strictly follow the safety guidelines listed on this page.
It is important that all users have been trained and educated on the inherent hazards associated with the
usage of electric beds.
WARNING
Danger: Explosion hazard. Do not use in the presence of flammable anesthetics.
Always apply the caster brakes when a patient is getting on or off the bed. Always keep the caster brakes
applied when a patient is on the bed (except during transport). After the brake pedal is applied, push on
the bed to ensure the brakes are locked. Serious injury could result if the bed moves while a patient is
getting in or out of bed.
Ensure the brakes are completely released prior to attempting to move the unit. Attempting to move the
unit with the brakes actuated could result in injury to the user and/or patient.
Do not attempt to move the foot end of the bed laterally when the steer pedal is activated. When the steer
pedal is activated, the steer caster at the foot end of the bed cannot swivel. Attempting to move the bed
laterally when the steer pedal is activated may cause injury to the user.
The Secure II Bed is not intended for use with patients less than two years of age.
Serious injury can result if caution is not used when operating the unit. Operate the unit only when all
persons are clear of the electrical and mechanical systems.
To help reduce the number and severity of falls by patients, always leave the bed in the lowest position
when the patient is unattended.
When attaching equipment to the frame, ensure it will not impede normal frame operation. For example:
hooks on hanging equipment must not actuate control buttons, equipment must not hide the nurse call
button, etc.
Use only a Stryker supplied interface cable. Use of any other cable may cause the bed to function improp-
erly which may result in patient or user injury.
The Secure II is equipped with a hospital grade plug for protection against shock hazard. It must be
plugged directly into a properly grounded three − prong receptacle. Grounding reliability can be achieved
only when a hospital grade receptacle is used.
When using the manual override shaft to manually actuate bed functions, always unplug the bed power
cord from the wall socket to avoid injury in the event of a sudden return of power to the bed.
When raising the siderails, listen for the ”click” that indicates the siderail has locked in the up position.
Pull firmly on the siderail to ensure it is locked into position. Siderails are not intended to be a patient
restraint device. It is the responsibility of attending medical personnel to determine the degree of restraint
and the siderail positioning to ensure a patient will remain safely in bed.
The Bed Exit System is intended only to aid in the detection of a patient exiting the unit. It is NOT intended
to replace patient monitoring protocol. The bed exit system signals when a patient is about to exit. Adding
or subtracting objects from the frame after zeroing the weigh system may cause a reduction in the sensi-
tivity of the bed exit system.
Always unplug the bed power cord from the wall socket and push the battery power on/off switch to the
“OFF” position before servicing or cleaning the bed. When working under the bed with the bed in the high
position, always place blocks under the litter frame and apply the brakes to prevent injury in case the Bed
Down switch is accidently pressed.
The CPR emergency release on the Short Bed frame may require assistance to lower the back when the
Back is in the highest position. Attempting to lower the Back in this position without assistance may result
in injury to the operator.
Only use equipment with the following electrical specs: 110 VAC; 10A; 60Hz. Maximum total load drawn
by equipment used in this receptacle outlet must not exceed 10A. The total system chassis risk current
should not exceed 100uA. Grounding continuity should be checked periodically.
