Centrella® Smart+ Bed Instructions for Use (193587 REV 10) 47
STAND ASSIST
BED FLAT
Caution—Do not transport a patient with the bed in the Dining Chair® position. Equipment damage
could occur.
Caution—When you use the Chair control, lower the bed, or use the Reverse Trendelenburg control,
make sure that the drainage bags do not touch the floor. Remove them if necessary. Follow facility
protocol if the drainage bags touch the floor.
This feature allows the caregiver to adjust the bed to a reclined chair position. When you
press the chair control, the bed will articulate the head section to its highest position,
the knee section to its highest position, and the foot section to its lowest position.
The bed will not articulate into the Dining Chair® position if any of the frame controls are locked out or
if the bed is operating on battery power.
To Activate
1. Set the brake.
2. Press and hold the Chair control. The bed transitions into the reclined position.
3. When the bed has reached the desired position, release the Chair control. To put the bed into an
additional upright chair position, raise the bed height and use the Reverse Trendelenburg control.
If the bed is equipped with the Foley Position Limit and the feature is on, this can limit the chair
position. See “Foley Position Limit” on page 72.
The Stand Assist control raises the head section and lowers the knee section to help
the patient more easily exit the bed. If a Centrella® max mattress is on the bed, the seat
section of the mattress inflates to provide additional support. After 15 minutes, this
feature times out and the mattress will return to the previous setting.
To Activate
1. Press and hold the Stand Assist control until the legs are flat and the head is at the desired head
angle.
2. Help the patient move to side sit at the edge of the mattress.
3. If a Centrella® max mattress is on the bed, wait for the seat section to inflate to provide more
support for the patient.
4. Adjust the bed height so the patient’s feet are flat on the floor, and then help the patient out of the
bed.
After 15 minutes, the Centrella® max mattress will return to the previous setting.
The Bed Flat and Level control returns the bed, head, and knee to the flat and level
position (head and knee sections down, and foot section up if it is down) from any
articulated position.
