Safety Information
108 Hillrom Progressa ICU Hospital Bed Instructions for Use (171528 REV 15)
Policies and procedures must be established to train and educate your staff on the risks associated with
electric equipment. It is never prudent or necessary for personnel to place any part of their body under
or between moving parts of the bed. Whenever a bed is being cleaned or serviced, it should be
unplugged from its power source, and the lockouts should be activated to keep the bed from
accidentally operating due to the battery backup. Refer to the Hillrom Progressa and Progressa+ ICU
Hospital Bed Service Manual (171748).
PARTS AND ACCESSORIES
WARNING:
Warning—Use of non-authorized parts or accessories on Hill-Rom or Baxter products may introduce
the risk of harm to patients and caregivers.
OPERATING BED/SURFACE PRECAUTIONS
WARNING:
To help prevent injury and/or equipment damage, obey these warnings:
• Warning—Do not operate the bed in the presence of flammable gas or vapors.
• Warning—Use oxygen administering equipment of the nasal, mask, or ventilator type only. Do
not use the bed with oxygen tents or in oxygen rich environments.
• Warning—Make sure hands, arms, legs, and feet are not under the bed or between sleep deck
sections as they move.
• Warning—Make sure you position tubes, lines, and linens away from moving parts.
CAUTION:
Caution—The bed shall only be used with certain hoists, because of the limited space underneath the
medical bed.
SLEEP SURFACE/MATTRESS
WARNING:
Warning—Some safety features of the Hillrom Progressa ICU Hospital Bed may not function or may
not operate as intended with surfaces manufactured by other companies. Check with the surface
manufacturer to determine those safety features of the bed that have been tested and verified to work
properly with the replacement surface. Failure to do so could cause serious injury or damage to
equipment.
NOTE:
Baxter recommends the use of Baxter or Hillrom surfaces that have been designed and tested
specifically for the Hillrom Progressa ICU Hospital Bed. Customers electing to purchase replacement
surfaces from other manufacturers should confirm that the replacement surface, when used in
conjunction with the Hillrom Progressa ICU Hospital Bed, meets applicable regulations, regulatory
guidance and technical standards and does not create unacceptable risks of injury to patients or
caregivers. Specifically, Baxter suggests that surfaces utilize dimensions and construction to minimize
gaps where entrapment could occur, provide for sufficient height between the surface and the top of
the siderail to prevent accidental roll-over events, provide appropriate firmness at the edges of the
surface to facilitate safe transfers into and out of the bed, and do not interfere with the proper operation
of siderails.
