Brake and Steer Control
WARNING:
Unless transporting the patient, always set the brakes when the unit is occupied. Reconfirm that
the brakes are set before any patient transfer. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or
equipment damage.
The brake and steer control is located under the foot section. There are three positions: Brake, Neutral,
and Steer. The brake position keeps the bed from moving. The neutral position allows the bed to be
moved sideways. The steer position allows the bed to be moved in a straight line.
When the bed is plugged into AC power and the brakes are not set, an alarm sounds until the brakes are
set or AC power is removed.

Head and Foot Siderails
WARNING:
Evaluate patients for entrapment risk according to facility protocol, and monitor patients
appropriately.
WARNING:
Evaluate patients for entrapment risk according to facility protocol, and monitor patients
appropriately. Ensure that all siderails are fully latched when in the raised position. Failure to do
either of these could result in serious injury or death.
NOTE:
Siderails are intended to be a reminder to the patient of the unit's edges, not a patient-restraining device.
When appropriate, Hill-Rom recommends that medical personnel determine the proper methods
necessary to ensure a patient remains safely in bed.
The CareAssist™ Bed siderails have been designed for one-step operation.
Siderails in the raised position are intended to make the patient aware of the proximity of the edge of the
sleep surface and to assist in patient entry and exit.
