Introduction
SAFETY TIPS AND GUIDELINES
Before operating the
and
Critical Care Beds, it is important to read and understand all in-
formation in this manual. Carefully read and strictly follow the safety guidelines listed on this page and on
page 5.
To ensure safe operation of the bed, methods and procedures must be established for educating and training
hospital staff on the intrinsic risks associated with the usage of electric beds.
WARNING
Serious injury can result if caution is not used when operating the bed. Operate bed only when all persons
are clear of the electrical and mechanical systems.
Leave the bed in the lowest position when the patient is unattended. Leaving the bed in a raised position
could increase the chance of patient falls and injury.
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.
Leave the siderails fully up and locked when the patient is unattended. After raising the siderails, pull
firmly on the siderail to ensure it is securely locked into the up position. Siderails are not intended to serve
as a patient restraint device to keep patients from exiting the bed. Siderails are designed to keep a patient
from inadvertently rolling off the bed. It is the responsibility of the attending medical personnel to deter-
mine the degree of restraint necessary to ensure a patient will remain in bed. Failure to utilize the siderails
properly could result in patient injury.
Always apply the caster brakes when a patient is on the bed and push on the bed to ensure the brakes
are locked. 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 bed. Attempting to move the
bed with the brakes actuated could result in injury to the user and/or patient.
Assistance is required to lower the Back if the angle of the Back is greater than 80
when the CPR emer-
gency release is activated. Attempting to lower the Back in this position without assistance may result
in injury to the operator.
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.
If the bed is equipped with the Epic+ option, there is a power save mode. The power save mode is acti-
vated after one hour on battery power with no motion release switch activation. Functions including Bed
Exit, scale and motion will cease to operate when the unit enters the power save mode. Injury to the
patient could occur if proper patient monitoring protocol is not observed.
Due to the weight the battery back–up option adds to the bed (approximately 50 pounds), additional force
is required to move a bed equipped with the EPIC+ Option. Caution should be used when transporting
this bed. Additional assistance should be used when necessary. Failure to use caution while transporting
this bed may result in injury to the user.
Hand wash all surfaces of the bed with warm water and mild detergent. Dry thoroughly. DO NOT STEAM
CLEAN, PRESSURE WASH, HOSE OFF OR ULTRASONICALLY CLEAN. Using these methods of
cleaning is not recommended and may void this product’s warranty.
Inspect the mattress cover after each use. Discontinue use if any cracks or rips are found in the cover
which may allow fluids to enter the mattress. Exposure to fluids may cause injury to patient and/or user.
