Mobilizing the patient
Positioning the control unit on a flexible arm
The position of the flexible arm must be changed by two people and when the bed is
empty.
To change the position of the flexible arm:
Raising/lowering the sleep surface
Before using this function, check that no obstacles (e.g., objects, accessories, power
cables) or persons (especially children) are under the sleep surface and that none of
the patient’s limbs protrude beyond the edges of the sleep surface. An intermittent
beep sounds when one of the bed’s movements is hindered.
When descending to the low position, make sure that:
- the drainage devices do not come into contact with the floor.
- the elevation arms do not hit the chassis of the Viking XL patient hoist if the bed is
equipped with 125 mm diameter casters*.
Use the HiLow feature of the sleep surface to adjust the bed to the required height
when the patient must be moved.
