To Troubleshoot Messages
MCM Off for 12 Hours (MCM problem)—this message shows when
the MCM has been turned off for over 12 hours. Press Remain Off or
Turn On for the MCM feature.
Warning—Failure to correct the error in a timely manner may cause patient injury.
Error (technical problem)—this message shows when the MCM blower
does not operate as intended. Contact your authorized maintenance
persons.
To help prevent injury and or equipment damage, obey these warnings:
• Warning—Do not use the Turn Assist feature while the patient is restrained.
• Warning—Make sure that the lines are not pinched or kinked and that there is sufficient slack
in the lines for bed articulations and patient movement.
• Warning—Make sure that no hands or arms are under the mattress or between the mattress
and siderail during Turn Assist.
• Warning—Unplug any personal electronic devices from the USB port and remove any loose
items from the mattress before you activate Turn Assist.
Turn Assist helps the caregiver to turn the patient to the left or right. The Right Turn control turns the
patient to the patient’s right side.
The siderail that the patient is turning towards MUST be in the up position to activate Turn Assist. If the
siderail is down, a triple beep will sound and a message will show on the touchscreen to let you know
that the siderail is lowered. Raise the rail, and press Turn Assist. Once the patient starts to turn, the
siderail the patient is turning away from can be lowered for easier patient access. A beep will sound as
a safety alert and a 15-minute countdown will show on the touchscreen when the mattress reaches the
full turn.
Turn Assist mode can be stopped during inflate or deflate by pressing Stop Turn on the touchscreen.
Before You Activate Turn Assist
• Make sure to remove these items from the bed:
– USB cord from the siderail
– Patient pendant from the inside of the siderail
– Any loose items on the mattress
• Level the knee and foot sections of the bed.
• Straighten the patient’s legs.
• Lower the head section below 25°.
