"Bed connected to power mains, brake not applied" detection*
When the bed is plugged into the mains and the brakes are not applied, a continuous
alert sounds until the brakes are applied or the bed is disconnected from the mains.
This information can be sent to the duty nurse if the bed is connected to a hospital
network with a compatible information system.
Moving the bed
Before moving the bed, perform the following checks:
• If there is a patient in the bed, ensure that the siderails are raised and locked to help
prevent the patient from falling.
• Position the sleep surface so the top of the f
ootboard is at the most suitable height for
transporting the bed (approximately ½ Hi-Low) and with the foot section horizontal.
• Unplug the power cord and electrically pow
ered accessories (e.g., self-contained air
mattress, and the nurse call communications cable), securing them on the bed as
shown in "Securing the power cable" page 88.
• Ensure that the bed or accessories (e.g., patient helper) will not catch on doorways or
othe
r obstacles (e.g. lights).
• Place the patient in a stable and comfortable
position (do not fully raise the head
section).
Never try to move the bed by pulling on the power cable or you may damage it. A
damaged power cord is an electric
shock hazard.
Never use the patient helper or the IV stand to move the bed.
The bed should only be moved while in the transport position by two people (one
at each end so as to ensure that there is always one person to operate the brake
bar) when moving the bed on a slope, with a foot end directional caster or when
moving the bed with a heavy load (heavy patient, accessories fitted, etc.).
Moving the bed:
• hold the endboard with both hands,
• raise the brake and steer bar to the “NEUTRAL” position to release the brakes,
• push the bed, steering with the headboard.
If the endboard is not lockable, be careful that it does not fall on the patient or
injury someone in case of a fall.
For easy transportation in a straight line:
• push the bed using the end board opposite the steering wheel (See “Brake and
steer system” page 85),
• after having moved the bed for a short distance to align the casters, raise the
b
rake and steer bar to the “STEER” position.
