 Safety Precautions

Assembling the Bed

WARNING

• DO NOT overtighten the mounting hardware as this will damage the mounting brackets.
• DO NOT modify this equipment without authorization of the manufacturer. Doing so will void the warranty.
• DO NOT use accessories that are not designed or approved for use with the bed.

Operating the Bed

WARNING

• DO NOT operate your bed until it is fully assembled and checked.
• DO NOT exceed maximum weight limitations of the bed.
• ALWAYS make sure the power cable is clear of any moving parts of the bed before switching on the power.
• ALWAYS keep hands and fingers away from moving parts to avoid injury.
• ONLY use appropriate mattresses and ALWAYS adjust the mattress retainer system accordingly to ensure the mattress is fixed in place.
• The mattress must be properly sized to meet entrapment zone dimensional guidelines published by the FDA.
• The mattress platform shall be kept in a flat position if the patient’s condition could lead to patient entrapment.
• ALWAYS keep the bed at the lowest position when the patient is unattended.
• Never permit anyone under the bed at any time.
• Only permit one person on the bed at a time.
• Do not use side rails as handles to move the bed.
• The side rails may NOT be used as a restraint.
• When operating/moving the bed, ensure that the resident is positioned properly within the confines of the bed. DO NOT let any extremities protrude over the side or between the rails when performing these functions.
• Keep all moving parts free from obstruction (i.e. blankets/sheets, pads, tubing, etc.) which may get tangled around the bed, side rails, or legs.
• Weight capacity includes the total weight of the mattress, resident, bedding, head and foot boards, side rails, and any accessories. Weight should be evenly distributed.
• Do not use near explosive gases.
• Possible fire hazard when used with oxygen administering equipment other than nasal or masked type.
• When using nasal or masked type administering equipment, oxygen or air tubing MUST be routed and secured properly to ensure tubing does not become entangled, kinked, or severed during normal operation of the bed.
• The Central Lock provides the resident with a stable and secure bed, providing easy access in and out of the bed. Check that the Central Lock is engaged and the bed is solidly in place before leaving the bed unattended or before attempting resident transfers into or out of the bed  The Central Lock is not intended to be used on a sloping floor or building access ramp. Failure to comply could result in injury or death.
• The Central Lock should be locked at all times except when moving the bed.
• For maximum resident safety, casters should be locked at all times in addition to the Central Locking System, except when moving the bed.

Performing Maintenance

WARNING

• ONLY qualified personnel should carry out the bed maintenance.
• DO NOT attempt to open the pre-sealed actuator or obtain local service, for it will VOID the warranty and might result in damage. Consult your dealer or manufacturer for further information.
• Inspect the casters every six months to check for tightness and wear.
• Regular maintenance of bed and accessories is necessary to ensure proper operation. DO NOT overtighten mounting hardware. This will damage mounting brackets.
• Unplug the power cord when performing any maintenance on the bed.

Electrical and Earthing

WARNING
EARTHING

• DO NOT, under any circumstances, cut or remove the earthing prong from any plug. Some devices are equipped with three-prong (earthing) plugs for protection against possible shock hazards. Where a two-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to contact a qualified electrician and have the two-prong receptacle replaced with a properly earthed three-prong wall receptacle in accordance with the regional and national regulations. If you must use an extension cable, use ONLY a three-wire extension cable having the same or higher electrical rating as the device being connected.
• DO NOT use if the power cable is cut, frayed or loosely connected to the device. Power supply cable may be damaged by inappropriate handling, e.g. by kinking, shearing or other mechanical damages. The POWER SUPPLY CABLE is only replaceable by SERVICE PERSONNEL.

Radio Frequency Interference

WARNING
Most electronic equipment is influenced by Radio Frequency Interference (RFI). CAUTION should be exercised with regard to the use of portable communication equipment in the area around such equipment. If RFI causes erratic behavior, switch the power OFF IMMEDIATELY. DO NOT turn the Power Switch ON while transmission is in progress.

Reducing the Risk of Entrapment

WARNING
The Hospital Bed Safety Workgroup (HBSW) in partnership with the FDA has recognized potential entrapment zones in hospital bed systems and has developed dimensional guidance to reduce the risk of entrapment. They have identified seven zones in the bed system where there is a potential for patient entrapment. Entrapment may occur in flat or articulated bed positions, with the rails fully raised or in intermediate positions. Each facility is responsible for compliance with the entrapment guidelines. For more information about entrapment zones and guidelines please visit the FDA website.
ENTRAPMENT ZONES: Zone 1: Within the rail
Zone 2: Between the top of the compressed mattress and the bottom of the rail, between the rail supports
Zone 3: Between the rail and the mattress
Zone 4: Between the top of the compressed mattress and the bottom of the rail, at the end of the rail.
Zone 5: Between the split bed rails
Zone 6: Between the end of the rail and the side edge of the head or foot board
Zone 7: Between the head or foot board and the mattress end
