Caregiver Siderail Controls
Progressa® Bed Instructions for Use (171528 REV 9) 15
LINE-OF-SITE® HEAD ANGLE INDICATOR
The head angle indicators mechanically indicate the approximate
angle of the head section from -15° to +80° with respect to the floor.
The head siderails contain head angle indicators on their outboard
sides. The degree where the indicator ball rests is the correct angle.
The angle indication is also shown on the home screen on the GCI.
BRAKE NOT SET
The Brake Not Set is an audible and visual alarm. The alarm will
sound, and a message will show on the GCI, when the bed is connected to an AC power source and the
brake is not set.
CAREGIVER SIDERAIL CONTROLS
This section describes the siderail controls of the bed that are intended to be used by the caregiver. Not
all controls listed are present on all beds.
To help prevent injury and/or equipment damage, obey these warnings:
• Warning—Instruct visitors not to use caregiver controls at any time. Visitors may assist patients
in the use of patient controls.
• Warning—If the bed fails to respond to user inputs, unplug it and have it serviced.
RAISE AND LOWER THE SIDERAILS
Warning—Evaluate patients for entrapment 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 cause 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 personnel determine the proper
methods necessary to make sure a patient remains safely in bed.
Siderails in the raised position are intended to make the patient aware of the proximity of the edge of
the sleep surface.
Siderails in the down position, below the patient surface, facilitates a patient's entry or exit from the
bed. This design feature also facilitates unobstructed access to the patient.
