7.4 SELF HELP POLE AND IV POLE ASSEMBLY
The Self Help Pole (SHP) provides an overhead patient support or manoeuvring
handle to assist with repositioning. The IV Pole provides a telescoping height
adjustable hanger for tubes, bags and other equipment.
The FL250 Self Help Pole and FL250 IV Pole are designed to attach to the FL250 Head
Board and therefore will move with any Head Board movement – up, down, tilt etc.
WARNING
Be aware of encumbrances such as walls, cupboards, curtains,
lights etc when manoeuvring the bed with a Self Help Pole or IV
Pole attached. Pay particular attention when tilting the bed or
using the Trendelenburg or reverse Trendelenburg functions.
