Safety Tips
Bed Positions
WARNING:
Make sure the bed is in the low position when the patient is unattended. This can reduce the
possibility of patient falls and the severity of any resultant injuries.
Brakes
WARNING:
Always set the brakes when the bed is occupied, except during patient transport. To ensure
that the bed will not move, push and pull on the bed to check it after the brakes are engaged.
Brakes should always be set when the bed is occupied and especially when moving a patient from one surface to
another. Patients often use the bed for support when getting out of bed and could be injured if the bed unexpectedly
moves. After setting the brakes, push and pull the bed to ensure stability.
Fluids
WARNING:
Significant fluid spills onto the bed electronics can result in a hazard. If such a spill occurs,
unplug the bed (both power cords), and remove it from service. Failure to do so could result
in personal injury or equipment damage.
When significant fluid spills occur, outside that seen in normal use, immediately do the following:
• Unplug the bed (both power cords) from its power source.
• Remove the patient from the bed.
• Clean the fluid spill from the bed system.
• Have maintenance inspect the system completely.
Do not put the bed back into service until it is completely dry, tested, and determined to be safe to operate.
Siderails/Restraints/Patient Monitoring
Siderails may serve several beneficial uses including providing an edge reminder, bed exit assist, and access to
caregiver interface and patient controls. The use of siderails also may provide a sense of security. Siderails should
always be in the upright and latched position when the TotalCare® Bariatric Bed and TotalCare® Bariatric Plus
Therapy System is in the chair position. The use of siderails in the bed position should be determined according to
patient need after assessing any risk factors according to the facility protocols for safe positioning. When raising the
siderails, a click indicates that the siderails are completely raised and locked in place.
Siderails are intended to be a reminder, not a patient restraining device. Hill-Rom recommends that the appropriate
medical personnel determine the level of restraint necessary to ensure a patient will remain safely in bed.
For restraining devices, consult the restraint manufacturer’s instructions for use to verify the correct application of each
restraining device.
