GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS
• Always use a mattress of the correct size and type. A range of suitable
pressure reducing and pressure relieving mattresses are available from Arjo.
• Before operating the bed make sure that the patient is safely positioned to
avoid entrapment.
• Before transporting the bed make sure the power cable is disconnected from
mains power and stored within the power cord fixtures at the head end of the
bed. Adjust the bed to a suitable height to move without stooping, or straining.
• Always apply the brakes when the bed is stationary.
• When the patient's condition could lead to patient entrapment the mattress
support platform should be left in the flat position whilst unattended.
• The clinically qualified person responsible should consider the age, size and
condition of the patient before using the bed and its accessories.
• Always ensure that all hospital lines and power cables are free from possible
entanglement with mechanical parts of the bed.
• Always ensure that attendant and patient limbs are free from potential
entrapment areas before operating any functions.
• Side Rails must only be used with a mattress of the correct size which is
approved for use with the bed.
• The maximum mattress thickness for the Prioma bed is 170mm, the minimum
mattress size is 125mm.
WARNING
• Ensure that the patient, caregivers and bedside equipment is not positioned to
become either trapped or crushed during bed adjustment.
• Ensure that the power lead is not being stretched.
• Ensure that the handset cable if fitted and electrical supply cable cannot
become entangled with moving parts of the bed.
• DISCONNECT the electrical power cable from the mains and store before
transporting the bed.
• If the power cable shows any sign of damage, replace immediately.
• Some functions may cause injury to the patient if unintentional movement
occurs. See Nurse Control Panel instructions for handset lockout to avoid
unintentional movement.
CAUTION
