WARNING:
Some safety features of the bed may not function or may not operate as intended with mattresses
that are not designed specifically for this bed. Check with the mattress manufacturer to make sure
that the safety features of the bed have been tested and verified to operate correctly with the
replacement mattress. Failure to do so could cause serious personal injury or equipment damage.
NOTE:
Hill-Rom recommends the use of Hill-Rom® mattresses that have been designed and tested specifically
for the bed. If you purchase a replacement mattress from Hill-Rom or another manufacturer, make sure
that the safety features of the bed have been tested and verified to operate correctly with the
replacement mattress. The replacement mattress should meet the applicable regulations and technical
standards to minimize the risk of injury to patients and caregivers.
For the latest list of mattresses, please contact Customer Service.
WAT ER MAT TRESS
We do not recommend the use of a water mattress on this bed.
LOCKOUT SWITCH
Whenever a patient or visitor should be restricted from operating the siderail controls, activate the
lockout switch located at the head end of the bed (on the main frame). The lockout switch is for the
convenience of the staff and the safety of the patient. Use the lockout switch when appropriate.
CPR RELEASE
Only healthcare professionals should use the emergency CPR release. The two release handles are under
the head section of the bed near the seat section.
To activate the CPR release, pull the handle away from the bed. Continue to pull out on the handle until
the head section is flat. When this is complete, attend to the patient. The bed will automatically flatten
the head and seat sections and reset itself to be ready to use after the emergency.
WARNING:
A bed that is transported with the steer caster locked in an incorrect position can drift from side to side
during transport. Personal injury or equipment damage could occur.
WARNING:
Only facility-authorized maintenance persons should service the bed. Service by unauthorized persons
could cause personal injury or equipment damage.
WARNING:
Unplug the bed from its power source and disconnect the battery backup before checking
ohms/resistance measurements. Failure to disconnect line voltage to the bed can damage the VOM and
cause equipment damage or personal injury.
