62 Hillrom Progressa ICU Hospital Bed Instructions for Use (171528 REV 15)
IntelliDrive Transport System (Power Transport)
The IntelliDrive Transport System is a permanently attached powered drive mechanism built into the
bed. This mechanism deploys or stows as a function of the position of the brake/steer pedal and AC
power availability. It is activated by applying pressure to the transport handles located at the head end
of the bed. This allows the caregiver to propel the Hillrom Progressa ICU Hospital Bed during patient
transport with minimal applied force. The label between the handles and on the bed frame shows the
battery charge and the correct way to use the system.
To Use the IntelliDrive Transport System
1. Raise all four siderails to the up and locked position.
8. Grip one or both of the transport handles located at the head end of the bed.
2. Raise the bed so the transport handles are at a comfortable height.
3. Make sure of these (if applicable):
• The head section is low enough to have clear view of the travel path.
• The patient, equipment (monitors, oxygen tanks, IV poles, or any other equipment), and all
lines are securely placed within the perimeter of the bed.
• Lower IV poles as applicable so they do not impact doorways or ceiling fixtures.
• Remove the proning accessory.
•Put the Experience Pod Device in the transport position as
shown and the device can clear doorways.
4. Make sure the transport handles are up and locked in position.
5. Unplug the bed from its power source.
6. Unplug and stow all power cords and communication cords on the
hook at the bottom of the transport handle.
7. Set the steer pedal to Steer (step down on the green brake pedal
until it stops).
Unplugging the bed, and putting the bed in steer mode will
automatically deploy the drive wheel, but will not power the
IntelliDrive Transport System.
