Patient Transport
Compella™ Bariatric Bed System Instructions for Use (178951 REV 6) 37
To help prevent personal injury and/or equipment damage, follow these warnings and cautions when
you use the IntelliDrive® XL Transport System:
Before transport, make sure that the Bed Up/Down controls are not locked out and operate correctly.
You will need to use these controls when the transport is complete.
• Do not use the powered drive system if the bed moves forward or reverse when one of these
occur. Contact your facility-authorized maintenance person or Hill-Rom Technical Support.
– You press one of the enable switches, but do not apply pressure to one of the handles.
– You apply pressure to one of the handles, but do not press one of the enable switches.
• If the bed is stopped on a ramp, set the brake to avoid unwanted bed movement.
• Do not transport a patient with the bed in the Chair position. Equipment damage could occur.
• The powered transport system is intended for indoor use only. Outdoor use may cause
temporary or permanent damage to the powered drive mechanism.
• Before you transport the bed, make sure that the power cord, hoses, and other equipment are
correctly stowed.
• For transport, a fully-charged bed battery is preferred; however, if the bed
battery charge is low, put the bed in the correct position before any transport,
and connect the bed to AC power as soon as possible.
• Do not attempt a transport unless there is a minimum of a single bar on the
battery indicator that is on the transport pod.
• Do not push or pull the bed by IV poles, siderails, or other equipment. Use the
push handles, headboard, or footboard. Failure to do so could cause
equipment damage.
There are push handles at the head end of the bed that can be used during transport.
These handles can be stowed when they are not in use.
To stow the push handles—pull the them upward to unlock them, and
then swing them inward (toward center of bed) into the stowed position.
To use the push handles for transport—lift the handles up, and drop
them into the locked position.
