Compella™ Bariatric Bed System Instructions for Use (178951 REV 6) 23
The bed power cord should be plugged into AC power
whenever possible to help keep the batteries charged.
• The power cord on the patient-left side of the bed is attached to the air supply unit and supplies
power to the air surface. The air surface does not operate on battery power.
To help prevent personal injury and/or equipment damage, obey these warnings:
• Warning—Stay clear of pinch points and moving parts during siderail operation.
• Warning—Evaluate patients for entrapment and fall risk according to facility protocol, and
monitor patients appropriately. Make sure that all siderails are fully latched when in the raised
position. Failure to do either of these could result in serious injury or death.
Siderails are intended to be a reminder to the patient of the bed's edges, not a patient-restraining
device. When appropriate, Hill-Rom recommends that medical persons determine the correct methods
necessary to make sure a patient stays safely in bed.
CORD HOOKS
There are two blue hooks on the inside of the head-end frame
to stow the power cords for transport. Wrap the cords around
the hooks so that they do not drag on the floor.
