CAUTION: The handset is in constant use, so it is particularly vulnerable to
wear and tear or damage. Before use it is important to inspect the handset to
ensure there is no damage to the cable or the buttons.
WARNING: In the event of handset damage the handset should be replaced
immediately or the trolley removed from service.
WARNING: Handset damage may lead to malfunction during equipment use.
If a handset button becomes damaged it is possible for one of the powered
functions to operate spontaneously. In this unlikely event, the following
actions should be taken;
1. Depress and hold the opposing function button, i.e. if the backrest is
raising press backrest down.
2. Unplug the handset from the trolley.
3. Fit a new handset.
4. If another handset is not available transfer the patient to another trolley.
6. Using the Height Adjustment
The height of the patient platform can be adjusted using the up and down buttons on
the handset.
WARNING: Ensure there is nothing to impede the raising or lowering of the
patient platform as this could result in damage to the equipment and/or injury
to the patient.
WARNING: When leaving patients unattended the trolley should be fully
lowered to minimise any risk of injury should the patient fall off the trolley.
7. Using the Backrest
The backrest can be raised and lowered using the up and down buttons on the handset.
The backrest actuator is designed to lift a maximum of 45% of the 250kg
(550lb) patient weight limit; this equates to 112.5kg (248lbs). If the weight on
the backrest exceeds this figure, then the backrest actuator may stall, and the
backrest will not raise. This can be caused by exceeding the patient weight
limit, or having the patient positioned too far up the backrest towards the
head end.
CAUTION: Ensure that there are no obstructions in the way before raising or
lowering the backrest.
8. Selecting the Lateral Tilt or Patient Platform Traverse Function
To use either the lateral tilt, or the patient platform traverse, the rocker switch must be
set to the required function. The rocker switch is located on the patient right hand side
of the mid-section (item 4, fig. 2).
9. Using the Lateral Tilt
Firstly, select the function using the rocker switch. The patient platform can now be
laterally tilted (along the longitudinal axis) to the patients’ left hand side, or the
patients’ right hand side, using the left and right buttons on the handset.
