To help prevent injury and/or equipment damage, obey these warnings:
• Warning—Do not transport a patient with the bed in a chair position.
• Warning—Observe lines, drainage bags, and linens closely during chair positioning.
CAUTION:
Caution—Do not stand or sit on the footboard. Damage to equipment may occur.
Chair Egress
The chair egress feature allows the caregiver to easily position a patient to exit from the foot end of the
bed by pushing and holding one control.
The chair egress position is intended to facilitate patient exit and not long-term sitting.
WARNING:
To help prevent injury and/or equipment damage, obey these warnings:
• Warning—Do not use the chair egress feature to return a patient to a Progressa Bed with the
Progressa Prevention Surface. Adjust the bed to the flat position to return a patient to the bed.
• Warning—When the product is in the chair position and a caregiver is assisting a patient with
ingress or egress, make sure that the caregiver has necessary assistance to proceed safely.
The head section moves to the full upright position, the
foot section retracts and lowers completely, the bed lowers
to its lowest height, the seat and leg sections deflate, the
bed tilts and then the knee lowers. The back section can
then be inflated to sit the patient straight up as an egress
assist.
To Activate
1. Make sure the brakes are set.
WARNING:
Warning—When the footboard is removed from the bed, do
not lay the footboard flat on the floor. Store the footboard in a
position or location so that it does not come in contact with
biohazards. Failure to do so could cause injury.
2. Remove the footboard if installed.
NOTE:
If the footboard does not have a transport shelf installed, the footboard can be set upright on the floor.
If a transport shelf is installed, the footboard can be put against a wall in a position so that it will not
fall.
3. Press and hold the Chair control until the bed reaches the FullChair feature position and lowers
completely.
