Patient safety
Equipotential terminal
Failure to connect the equipotential cable may result in
corporal injury.
When direct intravascular or intracardiac connections are
in use, the electric potentials of all the unprotected metal
parts need to be equalized.
The bed must be connected to the electrical installation.
To equalize potentials if a grounded power connection is
unavailable, connect the equipotential cable (AC968A) to the
connection terminal on the bed and the device.
Equipotential cable (AC968A)**
It is fitted with two POAG-WB 6 DIN type connectors and
a 2 m long yellow and green cable.
This cable permit to equalize the electric potentials of all
the unprotected metal parts of a device and the bed.
Nurse call
The “Nurse call” function is activated on the patient keypads, the caregiver keypads
or the control pendant*.
Check that the cable connecting the bed to the hospital’s communications system is
connected and that the “Nurse call” control is accessible by the patient.
To Activate:
• Press a nurse call control.
• The light under the Nurse call symbol flashes for
1 minute. If the system acknowledges reception of the signal
dur
ing this time, the light turns green. Otherwise,
it goes out automatically.
• The light goes out if the caregivers confirm reception of the
ca
ll.
If the bed detects a connection fault (cable not connected or fault),
a continuous signal sounds if the nurse call control is activated.
If the the “Nurse call” control on the siderail patient keypads is not accessible by
the patient, ensure that the another call solution is available (eg.: control
pendant*)
