Ergoframe
®
is the kinematic system of Backrest and Thighrest Adjustment resulting in extension of the Mattress support platform in
the seat section. Ergoframe enlarges the space for pelvic area during Auto-contour. Because of increasement of the space the force
applied results in decrease of the pressure that can cause pressure injuries in the pelvic area. Ergoframe maintains a stable ergo-
nomic position of the body and spine of the patient, thus limiting unwanted movement of the patient by moving down or up in beds.
Unied movement eliminates the patient‘s shift over the mattress and thus maintains a uniform position of the patient‘s body that is
not bound to the position of the bed parts.
Essenza 300 has the possibility of adjusting the bed height to the lowest position in accordance with the table of technical parame-
ters. The lowest bed height is intended as part of measures to reduce the risk of patient falls, especially for high-risk patients.
To use the lowest position function eectively and safely, follow the following precautions:
► The decision to set the lowest position is made by the healthcare sta after evaluating the risk of falling in the specic
condition of the patient (mobility, mental state, age, primary diagnosis).
► The lowest bed position shall be adjusted exclusively by trained healthcare sta using the dedicated control elements (see
„12 Control Elements“ on the page 70).
► As part of measures to reduce the risk of falling, use the siderails in the upper position when setting the lowest position.
► Make sure that there is no accessory in probable collision with oor.
► Make sure that there is no cable or hose that could be pinched or damaged by bed movement to the Extra Low Position.
► Make sure that there is no need for bed transport after reaching the Extra Low Position because the castor control levers
are not accessible in the Extra Low Position.
► Make sure that there is no need for quickly reached highest position of the mattress support platform after reaching the
Extra Low Position because the Bed Height Foot Controls are not accessible in the Extra Low Position.
WARNING!
When setting the Extra Low Position (the lowest position of the bed) with the lowered plastic split siderails,
there is a risk of injury to the lower limbs of persons standing in the immediate vicinity of the bed or the pati-
ent sitting at the bed edge (entrapment between the siderail lower edge and the oor).
► Make sure that there is no risk mentioned above by checking and alerting people near the bed before setting
it to the lowest position!
► Do not adjust the lowest position of the bed if there is a risk of injury mentioned above!
WARNING!
When setting the Extra Low Position (the lowest position of the bed), once the so-called basic height is
reached, downward movement will rst temporarily stop and at the same time an acoustic signal (beep) will
sound. If the bed is equipped with a light signal, the normal white light will change to green. An acoustic sig-
nal, a temporary stop of movement and a change in the colour of the light signal inform the personnel of the
potential risk of injury if any of the siderails are in the down position when the lowest position is set. This risk
only applies to plastic split siderails.
► Take extra care during Extra Low Position adjustment!
