50 Progressa® Bed Instructions for Use (171528 REV 9)
X-RAY SLEEVE
The X-ray sleeve is available on powered air
mattresses. It is located under the patient’s chest
area. To use the sleeve, do as follows:
1. Make sure the head of the bed is between 45°
and 60°. The position may be adjusted for
patient comfort.
2. Put the mattress in the Max-Inflate mode.
3. Pull the sheet away from the edge of the
mattress.
4. Lift the flap over the zipper.
5. Unzip the sleeve. Use caution when operating
the zipper. If the zipper binds, do not continue
to pull.
6. Make sure the x-ray cassette is in a pillow case
or similar covering.
7. Insert the x-ray cassette.
8. Remove the x-ray cassette when finished.
9. Close and zip the sleeve.
The cassette should insert easily. If it does not, take action to further offload patient weight. This may
generally be accomplished by raising the head of bed angle further, requesting the patient to lean
forward, or obtaining the assistance of a second person, as appropriate for the clinical situation.
EQUIPMENT SOCKETS
Equipment sockets are provided at each
corner of the deck for equipment such as IV
poles and infusion support.
To help prevent equipment damage, obey
these cautions:
• Caution—The equipment sockets
are not to be used for overhead
fracture frame equipment.
• Caution—Before moving the bed
into any of the chair positions, remove all equipment from the sockets at the foot end of the
articulating deck.
• Caution—While articulating into a Trendelenburg position, make sure there is adequate
headwall clearance.
