Hillrom Progressa ICU Hospital Bed Instructions for Use (171528 REV 15) 67
FLUOROSCOPY/C-ARM
To help prevent injury and/or equipment damage, obey these warnings:
• Warning—Use of surface radiolucency in areas with identified artifacts is not intended for
diagnosis of underlying pathology. Intended use in the identified artifact areas, for example,
includes tracking location of a radio-opaque component of a vascular central line.
• Warning—Hill-Rom does not indicate the use of the Hillrom Progressa ICU Hospital Bed with
any particular portable CT scanner. Contact the portable CT scanner manufacturer to make sure
of the compatibility with the bed and patient stability.
The bed provides a radiolucent head section that measures 17.7" x 23" (43 cm x 58 cm). The radiolucent
head section allows a caregiver to perform fluoroscopy of patients from head to waist when the patient
is lying flat.
Bed Setup when You Use a C-Arm
1. Set the brakes.
2. Lockout all articulation controls before you position the patient in the mobile scanner.
