Mobilizing the patient
3. Install the mattress (only mattresses recommended by Hill-Rom (See table
on page 28), cushions, sheets and blankets, and all other accessories that
must remain on the bed.
The weight of these additional articles must not exceed 65 kg or 45 kg,
depending on the destination of the product and the maximum patient weight
(see “Technical specifications” page 11). No more than 39 kg must be added at
a time.
The system is initialized without the patient on the bed.
1. Press the initialization button and hold until the bed reaches
the initialization position (sleep surface in the raised
position and horizontal). A beep indicates that initialization
can begin. Release the button
2. The orange “do not touch” light flashes during initialization.
3. A beep sounds and the light turns green to indicate that the
initialization is complete, then it goes out after a few
seconds.
If the initialization fails, a beep sounds three times and the light
turns orange.
If a load is added to the bed and the orange light comes on, it is
necessary to proceed with an initialization.
Bed exit alerts
Position
mode: The “Patient Position” mode alert is activated when the patient
starts to move.
Exiting
mode: The “Exiting” mode alert is activated when the patient moves away
from the center of the bed to try and get out.
Out of bed
mode: This mode must be used when the caregivers want to allow the
patient to move freely in the bed. The “Out of bed” mode alert is activated when
the patient leaves the bed.
This information can be sent to the duty nurse if the bed is connected to a
hospital network with a compatible information system (see “Sending bed exit
alerts” page 51).
Using the patient position monitor system does not remove the need to secure
the patient in the bed (see “Risk prevention” page 5). Function sensitivity may
be impacted if accessories are added or if the Trendelenburg/Reverse
Trendelenburg angle is ±8°.
The bed exit alerts are no longer operational when the bed switches to battery mode.
