Preventing Risks
Improper use of the device can result in risks for the patient or the user.
The following recommendations must be read and followed.
In view of the multitude of models of frames and siderails, and for safety
reasons, Hill-Rom advises that all necessary precautions must be taken,
especially with regard to the height of the siderails and the dimensions of
the mattress support platform. If this device is used on a bed with siderails
that are less than 22cm above the mattress, patients must not be left
unattended.
For safety reasons, it is advisable to use the lock-out functions of the bed in the
following situations:
• During all interventions on the patient or the device (e.g.: examinations,
transfers, maintenance);
• when the patient is in an unusual condition or behaves abnormally
(e.g.:excited, confused, disoriented, obsessive, old or of a weak constitution).
Properly trained medical staff should determine how the device should be used
and the required level of monitoring or constraint.
It is imperative to observe the practices relating to the safety of caregivers.
Special attention must be taken when redistributing the load application points,
since there is a danger that the bed will tip when the chassis is moved.
The impermeability of the surface and its therapeutic qualities may be compromised
by holes made by needles or any other perforations in the cells of the mattress.
Caregivers must be informed in order to avoid any tears in the cells of the mattress
caused by needles.
Avoid mechanical impacts.
Notice to Users and/or Patients:
Any serious incident that has occurred in relation to the device, should be
reported to the manufacturer and the Competent Authority of the Member State
in which the user and/or patient is established.
Complying with Electrical Safety Standards
The mains power supply must comply with following standards:
• NF C15-100 and NF C15-211 (France);
• International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 60364 for other countries.
Check that the supply voltage of the device shown on the identification label matches
the voltage of the establishment’s mains power system (See “Locating the
Identification Labels of the Device” on page 14).
The device should be connected to a power system equipped with a
maximum 30 mA earth leakage circuit breaker, in compliance with
IEC 60364-5-53.
Connect the device to the nearest wall plug in order
to leave the shortest possible length of cable on the
floor to avoid any risk of crushing.
