Caregiver Siderail Controls
24 Progressa® Bed Instructions for Use (171528 REV 9)
4. On beds with a Progressa® Prevention Surface with the Chair Egress feature, continue to press and
hold the chair control until the bed is at the chair egress position.
5. On beds with an air surface, the GCI will indicate when the seat is deflating. Wait until the mattress
deflates fully and the bed beeps three times.
Pressing cancel on the GCI screen will re-inflate mattress.
6. Press and hold the Chair control again. The frame will tilt forward to put the patient's feet closer to
the floor.
– One beep will sound when maximum tilt is reached.
7. If needed, press and hold the Chair control to inflate the back section of the mattress to assist with
the patient egress until desired amount.
8. Make sure the patient's feet are on the floor and clear of all obstructions and trip hazards including
the deflated surface and linens. Monitor the patient and patient lines during bed egress. Assist the
patient with egress.
Warning—Wait for the bed to complete all frame articulations and mattress deflations and the patient’s
feet are touching the floor before the patient exits the bed. Patient injury could occur.
To Deactivate
To move the bed out of a chair position, press and hold the Bed Flat control.
To help prevent injury and/or equipment damage, obey these warnings:
• Warning—The patient’s feet must be supported by the floor at all times while
in the exit chair position. Injury to the patient may occur from improper positioning.
• Warning—Do not transport a patient with the bed in the chair egress position.
• Warning—Do not use ankle restraints when activating this feature.
• Warning—Observe lines, drainage bags, and linens closely during chair positioning.
• Warning—If bed sheets contact the floor during Chair Egress, follow standard infection control
procedures.
BED FLAT CONTROL
Bed Flat controls are provided so that a caregiver can easily return the patient deck to
the level position from any articulated position.
1. Press and hold the Bed Flat control.
2. The intermediate frame returns to level from the tilted position.
3. The individual sections move to the flat position. If the bed is starting in the Chair
position, then it will move through the Reclining position on the way to level.
4. When all sections are flat, the bed stops and one beep sounds.
NURSE CALL
Use the Nurse Call control to activate the Nurse Call feature. The controls are located on both the
inboard and outboard sides of the intermediate siderails. The Nurse Call controls are always active if
connected to the facility communication system.
