Chair Egress
The chair egress feature allows the caregiver to easily
position a patient to exit from the foot end of the bed by
pushing and holding one button.
The chair egress position is intended to facilitate patient
exit and not long-term sitting.
The head section moves to full upright position, the foot
section retracts and lowers completely, the bed lowers to
its lowest height, the seat and leg sections deflate, the bed
tilts and then the knee lowers. The back section can then
be inflated to sit the patient straight up as an egress assist.
WARNING:
To help prevent injury and/or equipment damage, obey
these warnings:
• Warning—Do not use the chair egress feature to
return a patient to a Progressa® Bed with the
Progressa® Prevention Surface. Adjust the bed to
the flat position to return a patient to the bed.
• Warning—When the product is in chair position
and a caregiver is assisting a patient with ingress
or egress, make sure that the caregiver has necessary assistance to proceed safely.
To Activate
