BED FRAME FEATURES
Use the CPR Control
The headboard, patient helper, and/or overhead arm can be removed for patient access for patient
intubation or to insert a central line.
Beds equipped with powered transport have a Transport Pod on the
right-side push handle, at the head end of the bed.
The battery charge indicator on the Transport Pod shows the status of
the battery:
• On = The battery is charged.
• Flashing = The battery is low.
• Sequenced Flashing = The battery is charging while the bed
is plugged in.
• Off = The battery is too low to operate the powered drive
system.
For transport instructions, see “Use the Powered Transport System” on page 114.
CPR CONTROL
A red CPR release handle is on both sides of the upper frame in
between the head and intermediate siderails.
1. Pull and hold the red CPR handle until these occur:
• The head, knee, and foot sections are flat.
• The bed levels from a Trendelenburg or Reverse Trendelenburg
position.
NOTES:
• If you release the handle during its operation, the head
section will stop lowering.
• If the bed has a Centrella® max mattress—
– The bladders will go into Max Inflate to support a CPR board.
– An alert will sound shortly before 60 minutes of being in CPR to alert the caregiver
that the mattress will transition to Normal mode or allow you to reset the timer.
– A countdown timer will show on the touchscreen.
• The mattress will not go into Max Inflate if the bed is being powered by the battery
backup.
2. Release the handle.
3. Put a CPR board under the patient.
