8. MAINTENANCE - Continued
PATIENT/NURSE HANDSET CHECKS
Patient
Between each patient, Arjo strongly advises that the Preventative Maintenance checks
are conducted on the internal side rail patient control panel.
Nurse
Arjo strongly advises that the Nurse Handset is visually inspected for obvious damage
before each use if practicable. When using a specific function staff should be aware of,
and checking for, any of the symptoms listed in point 3 below.
Preventative Maintenance Checks
Arjo recommends that the full check and testing regime is conducted between each
bed use, or worst case during annual preventative maintenance. This should take no
more than one (1) minute to complete.
1
Visual Inspection of Control Panel & Handset Casing
1.1 Inspect the outer plastic casing for any obvious cracks or damage.
1.2 Inspect for damage to the front cover (outer label) particularly over the
buttons where the label may be torn or indented.
If any damage is identified while conducting checks 1.1 and 1.2, immediately
decommission the bed and report the damage to maintenance staff.
2
Visual inspection of the cable and Cable insulation
2.1 Inspect the cable for any nicks or cuts in the insulation
2.2 Inspect for any evidence that the cable may have been squashed/flattened.
Squashed or flattened cables may indicate a possible break in the internal
conductors or insulation causing conductors to short together, which could
cause unwanted movement of the bed. Any handsets that are found with
obvious damage to the cable insulation, immediately decommission the bed and
report the damage to maintenance staff.
3
Tactile inspection of the buttons:
All buttons should be operated, and response tested.
Depress each button on the handset and control panels. Each button should
have a positive click that is also felt. The function being pressed should also
operate. If the button:
• does not have a click feel
• does not immediately operate the function
• feels soft offering no resistance
• feels different to the rest of the buttons
• travels further when depressed
Immediately report the damage to maintenance staff or quarantine the bed and
contact an Arjo approved Technician.
