DO NOT OPERATE THIS EQUIPMENT WITHOUT FIRST READING AND UNDERSTANDING THIS MANUAL. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO UNDERSTAND THE WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, OR INSTRUCTIONS, CONTACT A HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONAL OR A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN BEFORE USING THIS EQUIPMENT. OTHERWISE INJURY OR DAMAGE MAY RESULT.

WARNINGS:

• The correct bed height when unattended is based on the resident’s knee to floor height, mobility, and cognitive level. For residents with good mobility and cognition, the top of mattress should be at a height so that the resident’s feet are flat on the floor and the angle between the thighs and calves is 90 degrees. Bed height and the resident’s abilities must be evaluated by a medical professional.
• If the resident’s physical or mental state may lead to entrapment, the sleep deck should be left in the flat position when unattended.
• 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.
• Close supervision by a caregiver is necessary when this product is used near CHILDREN OR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES.
• NEVER PERMIT ANYONE UNDER THE BED AT ANY TIME.
• When operating/moving the bed always ensure that the individual utilizing the bed 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.
• After installation and before use, make sure all attaching hardware is securely tightened.
• Pendant cord must be routed and secured properly to ensure cord does not become entangled and damaged during normal operation of the bed.
• Keep all moving parts free from obstruction (i.e. blankets/sheets, pads, tubing, wiring, etc.) which may get tangled around the bed, side rails, or legs during operation of the bed.
• Beds are equipped with locking casters. Casters should be locked at all times except when moving the bed.
• The mattress should be a hospital type mattress to allow for proper bed articulation. The mattress must be properly sized to meet entrapment zone dimensional guidelines published by the FDA.
• These side rails are not for pediatric use.
• The side rails are NOT intended and may NOT be used as a restraint. If necessary, a physician or healthcare professional should be consulted for other means of safe restraint.
• When using safety side rails, if excessive side pressure is exerted on them they can be deformed or broken. Do not use side rails as handles to move the bed.
• Never permit more than one person in/on the bed at any time.
• Body weight should be evenly distributed over the surface of the bed. The bed weight capacity is 450 pounds. This is the total weight of the resident, mattress, bedding, head and foot boards, side rails and any other accessories.
• The bed is provided with an additional safety feature of a protective earth ground. The electrical cord should only be plugged into a GROUNDED 110/120V outlet. DO NOT ALTER THE PROVIDED PLUG. If the plug does not fit the existing outlet, a licensed electrician should install a correct outlet. Never operate the bed if it has a damaged cord or plug.
• Unplug the power cord when performing any maintenance on the bed.
• Do not open any actuator, pendant, or control box. If these units are opened the warranty is voided.
• The Safety Lock provides the resident with a stable and secure bed, providing easy access in and out of the bed. Check that the Safety Lock is engaged and that the bed is solidly in place before leaving the bed unattended or before attempting resident transfers into or out of the bed.
• The Safety Lock is not intended to be used on a sloping floor or building access ramp. Use of the Safety Lock on a sloping floor or building access ramp could result in injury or death.
• The Safety Lock should be locked at all times except when the bed is being moved.
• For maximum resident safety, caster locks (if available) should be used in addition to the Safety Lock system.
• Turn off cellular phones or similar electronic devices when in close proximity to the bed. These devices may cause unintentional movement of the bed or affect bed performance in unpredictable ways. Do not use radio frequency generating devices or devices that generate electromechanical electromagnetic interference in close proximity to the bed. If you do not understand the dangers of electromagnetic interference contact a qualified technician.
• Contact a qualified technician before using High Frequency medical equipment near the bed. Only a qualified technician should route High Frequency cables on or near the bed.

REDUCING THE RISK OF ENTRAPMENT

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. The FDA considers the term “hospital bed system” to encompass the bed frame and its components, including the mattress, bed side rails, head and foot boards, and any accessories to the bed.
The entrapment zones involve the relationship of components controlled by the healthcare facility or individual user. Compliance to the dimensional guidelines for reducing the risk of entrapment is primarily the responsibility of the healthcare facility or the individual user.
Anyone having any involvement with hospital bed systems should review and understand the FDA guidelines. These guidelines, entitled “Hospital Bed System Dimensional and Assessment Guidance to Reduce Entrapment – Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff,” are available at the FDA website.

STEPS TO PREVENT BED FIRES

• Inspect the bed’s power cord for damage.
• Connect the power cord directly into 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 pin 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 get the resident to a safe area if necessary.

Upon receipt of your new bed, carefully inspect the bed and accessory components for any damage received in transit. Notify the NOA Customer Service at 1 636-239-7600 immediately if any product or component has been damaged or is missing from your shipment.

Installing the Head and Foot Boards

On large orders, beds are shipped with transport legs inserted in the foot board mounting tubes. Remove and discard these legs and replace with head/foot board brackets. Insert brackets into the mounting tubes until snap buttons align in the middle holes as indicated below. Ensure that snap buttons are seated in the proper holes prior to bed use. Lift the locking latches and slide head and foot boards down onto the brackets. Release the latches to lock.

Securing the Power Cord

Approximately 8 feet of exposed power cord is provided with the bed. A cable tie has been supplied so that excess cord can be maintained and secured to the back of the head board. When securing the power cord, ensure that an adequate loose length is maintained to allow for the full range of motion of the bed.

Installing the Corner Mattress Retainers

Corner Mattress Retainers (PN 3040025) should be installed at each corner of the bed to assist in maintaining proper alignment of the mattress during bed use. In order for the retainers to be effective, beds should be used in conjunction with a hospital grade mattress designed to allow for bed articulation. The mattress should be 6” thick with a width and length conforming to the sleep deck size. Mattress retainers should be installed prior to installation of any deck mounted side rails or assist bars.

1. Locate (2) ¼” holes at each bed corner in the outer angle of the head and foot deck. Insert each leg of the Mattress Retainer.
2. With the leg of each side of the Mattress Retainer positioned in the ¼” holes, rotate the Retainer towards the corner of the bed while slowly inserting the legs further into the holes.
3. When fully rotated, press the Mattress Retainer into position and then place the mattress on the rib-deck sleep surface. Check that all corners of the mattress are within the Retainers. A slightly compressed fit is desired.

Ensure that the Retainers hold the mattress securely to prevent mattress slippage during head and foot deck articulation.
Install accessory components as per their instructions.
Verify that there are no gaps between the mattress, head and foot boards, side rails, or any other accessories wide enough to entrap a resident’s head, neck, or body. Additional information regarding bed entrapment may be obtained from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Center for Devices and Radiological Health web site.
Your bed is ready for use. The bed should be located and casters locked while the bed is in its lowest position. Adequate spacing must be maintained between the wall and the bed to prevent damage to the bed or walls while raising or lowering the bed. Check to be sure that vertical movement of bed does not interfere with the power cord or plug.

Bed Transport:
The bed features a rolling base that allows it to be rolled or locked at any bed height. In order to lock the bed, activate the brakes located on the casters at the foot and head of the bed. To roll the bed, disengage brakes. Activating caster brakes does not disengage bed functions.

CAUTION: If casters are not locked swivel and wheel rotation can allow for bed motion with little or no resistance. This can result in loss of balance, fall, and personal injury. Ensure that the casters are locked
to prevent any bed movement during resident transfer and/or treatment.

BED OPERATION

Bed Positioning
Bed functions are operated with an 8 button pendant (4040117). Button functions on the handheld pendant control are clearly identified with universal icons. The hand control is provided with an attached bracket for suspending the control from side rails or bed ends. PRIOR TO RAISING OR LOWERING THE BED AND/OR SIDE RAILS, CHECK TO ENSURE THAT THE CORD FOR THE PENDANT CONTROL HAS NOT BECOME ENTANGLED IN BED PARTS. THE CORD SHOULD BE KEPT CLEAR OF MOVING PARTS AT ALL TIMES.
