Hillrom Progressa ICU Hospital Bed Instructions for Use (171528 REV 15) 107
RESTRAINTS
When appropriate, Baxter recommends that medical personnel determine the proper methods
necessary to help keep patients from pulling out lines or harming themselves or others while in bed.
1. Develop guidelines for all patients that indicate:
• Which patients may need to be restrained and the appropriate restraint to utilize.
• The proper method to monitor a patient, whether restrained or not, including time interval,
visual check of restraint, etc.
2. Develop training programs for all caregivers concerning the proper use and application of
restraints.
3. Maintain the bed at its lowest position whenever a caregiver is not in the room.
4. Clarify the need for restraint devices to families or guardians.
ELECTRICITY
To help prevent injury and/or equipment damage, obey these warnings:
• Warning—Establish policies and procedures to train and educate your staff on the risks
associated with electrical equipment.
• Warning—To avoid the risk of electric shock, this equipment must only be connected to supply
mains with a protective earth.
• Warning—Make sure the position of the bed is such that you can quickly, without obstruction,
unplug the power cord(s) from the main power supply if necessary.
• Warning—Fluid spills onto the bed electronics can cause a hazard. If such a spill occurs, unplug
the bed, and remove it from service. Thoroughly clean the bed and allow it to dry; then have the
bed checked by service personnel.
• Warning—Improper use or handling of the power cord may cause damage to the power cord.
If damage has occurred to the power cord, immediately remove the bed from service, and
contact the appropriate maintenance personnel.
• Warning—The included power cord set and Li-ion battery may not be used with any other
equipment other than the Progressa Bed model they are packaged with.
• Warning—If the integrity of the external protective earth conductor is in doubt, operate the
bed from its internal electrical power source.
To help prevent equipment damage, obey these cautions:
• Caution—Before transporting the bed, make sure that the power cord is properly stored on the
hook at the head-end of the bed. Failure to do so could cause equipment damage.
• Caution—This device meets all requirements for electromagnetic compatibility per IEC 60601-
1-2. It is unlikely that the user will encounter problems with this device because of inadequate
electromagnetic immunity. However, electromagnetic immunity is always relative, and
standards are based on anticipated environments of usage. If the user notes unusual device
behavior, particularly if such behavior is intermittent and associated with nearby usage of radio
or TV transmitters, cell phones, or electro-surgical equipment, this could be an indication of
electromagnetic-interference. If such behavior occurs, the user should try moving the
interfering equipment further from this device.
