Progressa® Bed Instructions for Use (171528 REV 9) 53
COMPOSER® COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
The Progressa® Bed is compatible with the COMposer® Communication System. With the COMposer®
Communication System, the bed can be monitored for the following functions:
•Bed in Low position
• Siderail(s) up or down
•Brake set
• Bed exit on or off
WIRELESS CONNECTIVITY
Warning—The wireless module does not communicate nurse call information. The bed’s SideCom®
Communication System cable must be connected to the facility network for remote nurse call
communications. Failure to connect the SideCom® Communication System cable may result in delay of
critical care to the patient.
The Wireless Connectivity module is not intended as a replacement for your wired Nurse Call
connection.
The Wireless Connectivity module permits bed and surface data to be sent to a hospital’s information
system without a communication cable; the module does not communicate nurse call information. The
module has a Location feature that identifies the location of the bed when it is in a facility that has a
real-time location system (RTLS) installed. The data is sent through Hill-Rom’s middleware solution,
NaviCare® SmartSync® System, to the hospital’s information system. (For electrical specifications, see
page 98.)
This module does not provide wireless use of environmental controls such as audio or room lighting.
The module operates only when the bed is connected to AC power; it does not operate on battery
power.
This module is compliant with 2014/53/EU—Radio Equipment Directive (RED).
Module Indicators
When you plug the bed into AC power, the module’s
three indicators—Wireless, Connected, and
Location—will all flash red, green, and off for two
cycles (this may take up to 30 seconds to occur). This
lets you know that the initialization process has
started. The module first connects to the facility’s
wireless network, then to NaviCare® SmartSync®
System, and then to the RTLS. When the initialization
process is complete, each indicator will either be green
or red depending on its connection status (see the
table below). The indicators will stay on until AC power
is disconnected or an issue occurs with the module or
its connections.
It may take up to 3 minutes for the initialization
process to complete. During most of this time, the indicators will be off.
