POINT OF CARE® BED CONTROLS
WARNING:
Follow these safety instructions when you use the bed articulation controls; otherwise, personal injury
and/or equipment damage could occur:
• Warning—Mechanical parts under the bed pose a risk of serious injury. Exercise control over
visitors, especially children, to keep people out from under the bed and prevent unauthorized
access to the bed articulation controls.
• Warning—Before you press a bed articulation control, make sure that objects and devices are
away from the bed’s articulating sections.
• Warning—Make sure to always lock out the articulations controls during traction.
Monitor lines closely during articulations. Always use good line management techniques, particularly as
the head section rises.
NOTE:
During bed articulation, a static buildup may occur.
Standard Patient Controls
The patient controls are on the patient side of the intermediate
siderails.
The standard patient controls include: Head Up/Down and
Knee Up/Down.
NOTE:
The patient head up/down control includes the Auto
Contour™ feature. When the patient raises or lowers the head
section, the head and knee sections raise or lower at the same time to help prevent the patient from
sliding down in the bed.
The Auto Contour™ feature does not activate when both the head section and the knee section are
locked out. If only the head section is locked out, you can use the patient control to adjust the knee
section. If only the knee section is locked out, you can use the patient controls to adjust the head
section.
If the bed is equipped with Nurse Call, the patient can use these controls to call the nurse.
Head Up/Down
To raise—press and hold the Head Up control until the bed is at the desired height.
To lower—press and hold the Head Down control until the bed is at the desired height.
