Progressa+ Bed Instructions for Use (216321 REV 2) 25
4. For beds with a Progressa+ Essential Surface with the Chair Egress feature, continue to press and
hold the chair control until the bed is at the chair egress position.
5. For beds with an air surface, the GCI screen will indicate when the seat is deflating. Wait until the
surface deflates fully and the bed beeps three times.
Pressing cancel on the GCI screen will re-inflate surface.
6. Press and hold the Chair control again. The frame will tilt forward to put the patient's feet closer to
the floor.
– One beep will sound when maximum tilt is reached.
7. If needed, press and hold the Chair control to inflate the back section of the surface to the desired
amount to assist with the patient egress.
8. Make sure the patient's feet are on the floor and clear of all obstructions and trip hazards including
the deflated surface and linens. Monitor the patient and patient lines during bed egress. Assist the
patient with egress.
Warning—Wait for the bed to complete all frame articulations and surface deflations. Make sure the
patient’s feet are touching the floor before the patient exits the bed. Patient injury could occur.
To Activate
1. Make sure the brakes are set.
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.
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 position and lowers
completely.
The patient deck first tilts back and then lowers as it goes to the FullChair position.
• When the bed beeps three times, follow the on-screen prompts to help you through the
correct procedure for Chair Egress.
• Monitor the patient, patient lines, and drainage devices.
• For patient comfort, remove patient pillows before moving the bed to the chair egress
position.
• For patient safety, remove the top sheet and any other items that may restrict leg movement
before egressing the patient from the bed.
To Deactivate
To move the bed out of a chair position, press and hold the Bed Flat control.
