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.

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 footboard
• Zone 7 : Between the head or footboard and the mattress end

STEPS TO PREVENT BED FIRES

• Inspect the bed’s power cord for damage.
• Connect the power cord directly to a wall-mounted outlet that is in good working order, with no cracks or chips. The plug should fit tightly into the outlet. The ground in should be intact and secure.
• Do not connect the bed’s power cord to an extension cord or to a multiple-outlet strip.
• Do not cover any power cord with a rug. Heat may build up or the cord may be damaged.
• Inspect the floor beneath the bed for buildup of dust and lint. Ask housekeeping to clean if necessary.
• Inspect the resident’s bed controls, looking for signs of damage where liquids could leak in.
• Test the bed and its controls, including resident lockout features, to ensure that the bed can move freely in both directions without damaging any cords.
• Check monitors and other resident equipment for signs of overheating or physical damage.
• Keep linens and clothes away from power sources.
• Tell maintenance staff about any unusual sounds, burning odors, or unusual movement of a bed.
• If you suspect overheating, follow your facility’s policy for fire safety and move residents to a safe area if necessary.
