The maximum safe working load (SWL) of the bed is 450 lb. The suggested patient weight is 400 lb. but varies based on the accessories on the bed.
The beds are intended for users who fully understand the content of this manual and is not intended for use by children.
DO NOT operate your bed until it is fully assembled and checked. To avoid injury, DO NOT attempt to remove the bed from the carton without assistance.
DO NOT use accessories that are not designed or approved for use with the bed.
Use only Dynarex approved parts and accessories.
DO NOT make modifications to the bed without authorization from the manufacturer.
Doing so will void the warranty. Serious harm or death may result from the use of improper parts or accessories.
The bed is NOT a transport device. The wheels on the bed are for positioning the bed only.
Ensure that the casters of the bed are locked at all times to prevent unintended bed movement. The bed should only be unlocked when the bed is moved. If the bed is left unlocked unintended movement may occur which may cause damage to the resident or property damage.
Moving the bed while the caster locks are engaged may damage the bed or the floor. Ensure all the casters are unlocked prior to moving the bed.
Never permit more than one person on the bed at one time.
Ensure that the individual is properly positioned. The body weight must be evenly distributed over the sleeping surface. Nobody part should protrude outside the sleep surface. Caution should be used when transferring the individual to and from the bed.
ALWAYS keep hands and feet away from the bottom of the bed and any moving parts to avoid injury. Due to the low bed clearance, extreme caution should be used as under-bed space and/or moving parts can create crush or pinch points.
DO NOT operate the bed with any items under the bed.
ONLY use appropriate mattresses and ALWAYS adjust the mattress retainer system accordingly to ensure the mattress is fixed in place. The mattress must fit the frame properly to avoid any entrapment issues. The wrong size mattress may cause serious harm or death.
For more information about entrapment, visit https://www.fda.gov/media/71460/download.
Inspect the casters every six months to check for tightness and wear.
DO NOT, under any circumstances, cut or remove the ground prong from any plug. Some devices are equipped with three-prong (ground) 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 to have the two-prong receptacle replaced with a properly grounded 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.
Cables should be routed and secured properly to ensure they are not damaged during normal operation. DO NOT use if any cable is cut, frayed, or loosely connected to the device. Cables may be damaged by inappropriate handling, e.g. by kinking, shearing, or other mechanical damages. The cables are only replaceable by authorized Dynarex service personnel.
When moving the bed ensure the power cord and pendants are secured.
Ensure that the casters do not roll over the cables.
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.
This bed is not intended to be used in an oxygen-rich environment.
DO NOT allow any part of the bed to become wet or submerged in water.
DO NOT use near fire or explosive gases.
The hand pendant cord may be a source of entanglement.
Patients with decreased mental acuity should not have access to the pendant as serious harm or death may result. An optional staff control embedded into the footboard is available.
For every 2 minutes of continuous use of the actuator, the bed actuator must not be in use for 18 minutes.
