Chair Egress Position
WARNING:
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+ Essential 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.
• Warning—The patient’s feet must be supported by the floor at all times while in the exit chair
position. Injury to the patient may occur from improper positioning.
• Warning—Do not transport a patient with the bed in the chair egress position.
• Warning—Do not use ankle restraints when activating this feature.
• Warning—Observe lines, drainage bags, and linens closely during chair positioning.
• Warning—If bed sheets contact the floor during Chair Egress, follow standard infection control
procedures.
• Warning—Make sure the that sheets and blankets are not in a location where a patient will
step on them when they exit the bed. Bedding in a location where it can be stepped on
presents a trip hazard that can cause patient injury.
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 is not for long-term sitting.
To Activate
1. Set the brake.
2. Press and hold the Chair control. The patient deck
transitions to the reclined position (first the patient deck
will slightly recline backwards as the seat and lumbar
sections on the surface slightly deflate) then to the Chair
position.
3. If the footboard is installed, when the articulation stops
and a tone sounds, the bed has reached the FullChair
position.
The bed will do as follows:
• The head section will move to the full upright
position.
• The foot section will retract and completely lower.
• The bed will lower to the lowest height.
• For air surfaces, the seat and leg sections will
deflate.
• The bed will tilt forward and the knees will lower.
For air surfaces, the back section can be inflated on air surface to sit the patient straight up as an egress
assist.
