Graphical Caregiver Interface (GCI)® Controls
Progressa® Bed Instructions for Use (171528 REV 9) 35
If the bed has a pendant installed, make sure it is either on the siderail or footboard when you zero the
scale or weigh a patient.
To protect the privacy of the patient, do not leave the patient weight displayed on the screen. Return to
the Home screen by pressing the Home button on the GCI.
Unstable equilibrium
Unstable equilibrium means the equilibrium between internal readings for the scale is not stable. If the
Unstable equilibrium indicator is on, scale accuracy will be diminished. This function is automatic and
cannot be selected by the caregiver.
Bed not Recommended Position Button
“Bed not in recommended position” means the bed is not in the position that the scale was certified in
during manufacturing. You can weigh in the non-recommended position; however, non-recommended
positions may reduce accuracy and repeatability. The weight can be saved, but will be noted as a non-
verified weight.
Recommended bed Position to Weigh a Patient and Required Bed Position to
Zero/Tare the Bed
• Head lower than 45°.
• Knee and foot sections straight and horizontal
• Bed full up position.
• Foot fully extended.
• Trendelendburg/Reverse Trendelenburg less than 2°.
• Left to right angle less than 2°.
If the bed is on an uneven floor surface, weighing or
zero/tare is not possible. The “Out of Position Screen”
indicating Trendelenburg/Reverse Trendelenburg is out
of position will appear. If Trendelenburg/Reverse
Trendelenburg is level, move the bed to a flat floor surface and retry weighing or zero/tare.
View Weight History
The GCI will show the initial weight of the
patient and at least 21 weights that were taken.
The screen will show the date and time, last
zero, the weight, how much weight adjusted,
and the bed position when the weight was
taken.
If the weight was taken in a Not Recommended
Position, an icon will appear, which shows the
position of the bed when the weight was taken.
Use the arrows or touch a dot to see different
weights.
