SAFETY TIPS AND GUIDELINES
Before operating the 2030, it is important to read and understand all information in this manual. Carefully 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
S The 2030 is not intended for use with patients less than two years of age.
S
Powered bed mechanisms can cause serious injury. Operate bed only when all persons are clear of the
mechanisms.
S
To help reduce the number and severity of falls by patients, always leave the bed in the lowest position
when the patient is unattended.
S
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 necessary to ensure a patient will remain safely in bed.
S
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). Serious injury could result if the bed moves
while a patient is getting in or out of bed. After the brake pedal is applied, push on the bed to ensure the
brakes are locked. When moving the bed, toggle the steer pedal to put the bed in the steer mode. This
locks the swivel motion of the right foot end caster and makes the bed easier to move.
S
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. Adding
or subtracting objects from the bed after arming the bed exit system may cause a reduction in the sensitiv-
ity of the bed exit system.
S
Always unplug bed during service or cleaning. When working under the bed with the bed in the high posi-
tion, always place blocks under the litter frame and set the brakes to prevent injury in case the Bed Down
switch is accidently pressed.
S Explosion Hazard − do not use bed in the presence of flammable anesthetics.
S
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.
