34 Hillrom Progressa ICU Hospital Bed Instructions for Use (171528 REV 15)
These warnings apply to both zero the scale and weigh procedures. To help prevent injury and/or
equipment damage, obey these warnings:
• Warning—The scale is very sensitive. Make sure the bed is not touching anything that could
affect the patient weight zeroing or weighing process. Failure to do so could cause an
inaccurate weight reading.
• Warning—Always use the New Patient zero before a patient is admitted into the bed. Failure
to do so may keep old patient data in the bed and cause a risk to the new patient.
Recommended Bed Position to Weigh a Patient and Required Bed Position to Zero the Bed
• Head lower than 45° (A; head angle).
• Foot not more than 30° below horizontal (B; foot up).
• Trendelendburg/Reverse Trendelenburg less than 2°
(C; Trendelenburg angle).
