Boost® Position System
Reverse Trendelenburg—press and hold the Reverse Trendelenburg control
until the head end of the bed raises relative to the foot end to the desired angle.
NOTES:
• If the Foley Position Limit is set, it will limit the degree of Reverse Trendelenburg.
• If the Obstacle Detect® System senses an object or if there is interference, the bed will not go
down. See “Obstacle Detect® System” on page 35 for more information about the Obstacle
Detect® System.
To return to the flat position—press the opposite control, Trendelenburg or Reverse
Trendelenburg, or press the Bed Flat and Level control on the touchscreen until the bed is at the
desired position.
The Boost® Position System’s one-button control levels the legs and head and puts the bed into
Trendelenburg. This is helpful when you need to reposition the patient toward the head end of the
bed.
The Boost® Position System will not operate if any bed functions are locked out.
WARNING:
Warning—Monitor lines closely during articulations. Always use good line management techniques,
particularly as the head section rises. Failure to do so could cause patient injury or equipment
damage.
To Activate
1. Press and hold the Boost® control on the siderail until the bed is in the desired tilt
position or you hear a single beep.
• The head and foot sections will go to the flat position.
• The bed height may adjust to allow the bed to go into Trendelenburg.
• If desired, you can continue to hold the control to raise the knee section for an increased
boost. A single beep will sound when the knee section has stopped.
• If the bed has an air system, the mattress will go into Max Inflate for 15 minutes.
2. Release the Boost® control when the desired position is reached.
3. Move the patient to the head of the bed as necessary.
To return to the flat position
1. Press and hold the Flat and level control until you hear the bed beep, indicating the bed is flat.
2. If the bed has a Centrella® max mattress, at the touchscreen, go to the Surfaces menu, and then
press Normal. Or press any Caregiver control on the caregiver panel.
NOTE:
We do not recommend that you transport the patient when the bed is in the Boost® Position. See
“Transport The Patient” on page 111.
