Preventing Risks
Improper use of the device can result in risks for the patient or the user.
The following recommendations must be read and followed.
In view of the multitude of models of frames and siderails, and for
safety reasons, Hill-Rom advises that all necessary precautions must
be taken, especially with regard to the height of the siderails and the
dimensions of the mattress support platform. If this device is used on a
bed with siderails that are less than 22cm above the mattress, patients
must not be left unattended.
For safety reasons, it is advisable to use the lock-out functions of the bed in the
following situations:
• During all interventions on the patient or the device (e.g.: examinations,
transfers, maintenance);
• In the case of patients suffering from particular behavioral difficulties (e.g.
agitation, mental confusion, loss of sense of direction, obsessive behavior,
old patients, weakness, etc.).
Properly trained medical staff should determine how the device should be used
and the required level of monitoring or constraint.
It is imperative to observe the practices relating to the safety of caregivers.
Special attention must be taken when redistributing the load application points,
since there is a danger that the bed will tip when the frame is moved.
Surface impermeability and therapy capabilities could be affected by needle sticks
or other mattress bladder punctures. Caregivers should be instructed to prevent
mattress bladder punctures caused by needle sticks.
Avoid mechanical impacts.
Notice to Users and/or Patients:
Any serious incident that has occurred in relation to the device, should be
reported to the manufacturer and the competent authority of the Member State in
which the user and/or patient is established.
Complying with Electrical Safety Standards
The mains power supply must comply with following standards:
• NF C15-100 and NF C15-211 (France);
• International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 60364 for other countries.
Check that the supply voltage of the device shown on the identification label
matches the voltage of the establishment’s mains power system (See “Locating
the Labels on the Device” on page 15).
The device should be connected to a power system equipped
with a maximum 30 mA earth leakage circuit breaker, in
compliance with IEC 60364-5-53.
