Important: Patient’s risk for pressure ulceration
determines which mattress should be used.
Assessment of risk for pressure ulceration is
important to avoid injury to patient, and should only be
determined by qualied professionals.
Note: International standards require distance from
top of mattress (un-compressed) to top of side rails
to be a minimum of 220 mm (8.66 inches). If mattress
is thicker than 6.5 inches (Example: If a professional
recommends an air otation system to treat pressure
ulceration), bed/mattress system would not comply
with International standards. A professional can assess
if clinical benets outweigh the risk of not meeting
standards.

Bed Movement/Transport
1. Follow these general guidelines when moving bed
(specic patient’s needs may necessitate such
requirements).
a. Fully lower all mattress support
platform sections.
b. If extended, retract mattress support platform
width extensions on both sides. Note: This
may require removing
mattress sections.
c. If extended, retract mattress support platform
Foot extension.

bed end.
Caution: Before transporting bed, unplug
bed from power source, wrap power cord
around cord storage hooks below head panel,
hang Pendant from foot panel, and route
Pendant cable inside Side Rails (Figure 17).
Failure to do so could result in Pendant cable,
power cord or bed damage, thereby creating
a potential hazard. Ensure pendant cable
and power cord are off oor and away from
Casters.

steer pedal.

panel and/or foot panel handholds

completed:
• Always apply caster locks and disengage
steer wheel, if applicable.
Caution: It is critically important to lock
all four casters individually to prevent
unintended bed movement.
• Always plug bed back into power outlet so
that it is continuously charging.
