34 Compella™ Bariatric Bed System Instructions for Use (178951 REV 6)
Powered Width Controls
To retract the patient surface and bed frame—raise the siderails. Press
and hold the width retraction control until the motors stop. You will hear a
single beep, and the indicator will turn green.
To extend the patient surface and bed frame—press and hold the width
extend control until the motors stop. You will hear a single beep, and the
indicator will turn green.
If the bed does not reach the fully extended or fully retracted position,
these will occur:
• Both indicators next to the Retract and Extend controls will flash amber until the bed is fully
extended or fully retracted.
• A continuous triple beep will sound until the bed is adjusted to the fully extended or fully
retracted position.
• Err 6 will flash on the caregiver control pod until the bed is fully
extended or fully retracted.
• Fully extend or fully retract bed width to clear the Err 6 code and
silence the triple beep.
• Once the bed is fully extended or retracted, the control’s indicator
will come on green and a single confirmation beep will sound.
If the bed is not fully retracted or extended, you will not be able to raise the head of the bed; you will
only be able to lower it.
Manual Width Control
The bed width can be adjusted manually when the bed is
not connected to AC power, such as during a transport.
Each siderail has its own blue release lever to use to
manually adjust the bed width.
To manually retract
the bed—do these steps in this
order:
1. If the air supply unit is connected to AC power, you
can use the controls on the air supply unit to deflate
the side bolsters:
• Therapy surface—see “Deflate and Inflate the Side Bolsters and Foot Section” on page 65.
• Foam surface—see “Deflate and Inflate the Side Bolsters and Foot Section” on page 67.
2. If the air supply unit is not connected to AC power, manually release air from the surface before
you adjust the siderails.
•Therapy surface—use the CPR deflate mechanism to release enough air from the surface to
retract the side bolsters.
• Foam surface—disconnect the blue and black air hoses from the air supply unit to deflate the
side bolsters.
3. Pull the release lever below the head siderail toward you as you push inward on the head siderail
until it stops.
4. Pull the release lever below the intermediate siderail toward you as you push inward on the
intermediate siderail until it stops.
