Thigh section
These buttons raise and lower the thigh section.
When the thigh section is first raised from the flat position, the calf section
will be in the Fowler position (angled downwards).
To change the calf section to the vascular (horizontal) position, refer to the
section Adjusting the calf position.
Backrest
These buttons raise and lower the backrest.
The backrest will pause when it reaches an angle approximately 30q
above the horizontal.
Auto-Chair
The Auto-Chair up button simultaneously raises the backrest and thigh
sections, pausing when the backrest reaches 45q. Continue to hold the
button down to lower the foot end of the mattress platform into a chair
position.
When the backrest and thigh sections are raised, pressing the Auto-Chair
up button again lowers the foot end of the mattress platform into a chair
position; if the backrest angle is greater than 45q, it will return to 45q to
prevent the patient from tipping forwards.
The Auto-Chair down button returns the mattress platform to a flat and
level position.
Tilt angle
This button lowers the head end of the mattress platform (Trendelenburg
position).
This button lowers the foot end of the mattress platform (reverse
Trendelenburg position).
NOTE
When returning from a tilted position, the mattress platform will pause at the level (no tilt)
position.
CPR position
If the patient suffers a cardiac arrest, press and hold the CPR button. This
will flatten the mattress platform (and lower it if necessary) to enable
cardio-pulmonary resuscitation to be carried out.
The CPR button overrides the function lockout settings.
