Transport The Patient
112 Centrella® Smart+ Bed Instructions for Use (193587 REV 10)
• Warning—Unless you are to transport a patient, always set the brakes when the unit is
occupied. Make sure the brakes are set before any patient transfer on to or off the bed.
• Warning—Do not transport a patient with the bed in the Chair position.
• Warning—Do not use the powered transport system if the bed moves forward or reverse
when one of these occur. Contact your facility-authorized maintenance person or Hill-Rom
Technical Support.

– You apply pressure to one of the handles, but do not press one of the enable switches.
To help prevent equipment damage, obey these cautions when you transport a patient in the bed:
• Caution—Before transport, make sure that the power cord, hoses, and other equipment are
correctly stored.
• Caution—Do not push or pull the bed by IV poles, siderails, or other equipment. Use the push
handles, headboard, or footboard.
• Caution—The powered transport system is intended for indoor use only. Outdoor use may
cause temporary or permanent damage to the powered drive mechanism.
• Caution—For transport, a fully-charged bed battery is
preferred; however, if the bed battery charge is low, put the
bed in the transport position before any transport, and
connect the bed to AC power as soon as possible
• Caution—Do not attempt a powered transport unless there is
a minimum of a single bar on the powered transport battery
indicator that is on the Transport Pod.
NOTES:
• If a Centrella® max mattress is on the bed, the mattress will stay inflated during the transport
but will not provide pressure redistribution. To help with lateral transfers, Max Inflate the
mattress before you unplug the bed from the AC power; the mattress will then stay firm.
• For a bed without the powered transport system, you may put the bed in either Steer or
Neutral for the transport.
• The batteries for the bed controls and for the optional powered drive system get charged only
when the bed power cord is plugged into an AC power outlet; therefore, we recommend that
you plug the bed into a power outlet whenever possible.
