The Bed Exit Alert system is activated through the touchscreen, see “Bed Exit Alert System” on page
48.
When a Bed Exit mode is armed, the Bed Exit indicator will be green.
When the system is armed and it detects an alert condition for the Bed Exit mode setting, the
following occur even if the patient returns to the bed:
• An audible alert comes on.
• The amber Alert Silence control indicator flashes.
• A priority nurse call is sent to the nurses station (for beds equipped and connected to a Nurse
Call communication system).
When a Bed Exit mode is armed, you can silence the alert system. During the Silence Mode, the system
stops monitoring the patient movement; therefore, the system will not notify the care team or
cause an alert. While the system is in the Silence Mode, you can change the position of the patient or
assist the patient out of the bed. You can silence the alert before it sounds (preemptively) or after it
sounds.
To silence the alert system before or after it sounds—press the Alert Silence control
until its indicator is on solid.
NOTE:
The Bed Exit Alert system will try to re-arm after 30 second or when the patient returns to
the bed. To increase the alert silence time to 1 or 5 minutes, see
“To Silence a Bed Exit
Alert” on page 50.
The Lockout control disables the bed’s articulating
function (for both the patient and caregiver).
If you press the Lockout control and do not press an Up
or Down control within a few seconds, or if you do not
complete the lockout procedure correctly, the bed will
sound a triple beep and a message on the touchscreen
will provide instructions on how to complete the task.
NOTES:
• When CPR is activated, any controls that are locked out will become unlocked.
• Follow your facility’s protocols for lockouts to reduce the likelihood of unauthorized use of the
bed controls.
• If you attempt to use a locked-out control, a triple beep will sound, a message will show on the
touchscreen, and a voice alert (if equipped) will say “This bed function is unavailable” to notify
you to check the lockouts.
• Some locked out frame articulations may cause other functions to be locked. See the table
below.
