Page 70 194412(11) - Hill-Rom® 900 Accella™ Bed - Instructions For Use
Restraining devices must not be used as a replacement for the nursing care
required by the patient. Even when correctly installed, physical restraining devices
may become entangled and injure the patient, especially if the patient is agitated
and confused. Whenever containment devices are used, the patient must be
observed in accordance with legal requirements and protocol.
Restraining devices must be secured to the articulated sections of the bed using
appropriate attachment points in order to avoid injury to the patient.
Ensure that the strap model used is suitable for the dimensions of the locations
provided. Straps must not be able to slide to another location.
Never use restraining straps for the ankles when the bed is in the seated position or
the foot section is lowered.
Adjust the bed's restraining systems and articulations to avoid any risk of the
patient sliding or moving.
Electrical function management
The electrical functions are managed on the foot
control pendant* or the caregiver half-siderail keypads.
These lockout units are used to generally or selectively
inhibit or enable the electrical functions of the bed.
Selective lock-out
– To inhibit an electrical function from a half-
siderail keypad, press and hold the lock symbol, then press the
function to be inhibited.
The indicator light of the corresponding function comes on to indicate
that the function is locked out (1).
Locking out the thigh section adjustment control will also lock out the AutoContour™
when the adjustable head section function is disabled.
– To enable an electrical function from a half-siderail keypad, press
and hold the lo
ck symbol, then press the function to be enabled.
The indicator light of the corresponding function goes off to indicate
that the function is enabled (0).
The selective locking out of functions is intended mainly to prevent
accidental use that may cause injury of worsen a patient’s conditions (e.g., for patients
with hip replacements, disable the adjustable thigh section function).
Locking out a function does not affect the CPR.
