Bed Set-Up
The MC9R/Encore
®
bed is approved for operation in a dry environment. To operate the bed, plug the Power
Supply Cord running from the patient left hand side of the frame into a three prong 120 V hospital grade wall
receptacle. The Pendant is already plugged into the control box and the bed should now be operational. Allow
bed to acclimate to room temperature before operating.
Power Supply Cord
To keep the power supply cord off the floor when moving or
storing the bed, you need to secure the cord using the Velcro
Strap as shown in Fig 3.
WARNING! POSSIBLE INJURY OR
DEATH improper routing of the power supply cord
could result in injury or death. Ensure that you do not
remove any Cable ties that are intended to keep the
power cord away from moving parts.
WARNING! After completing installation, run the bed through the full range of motion to ensure
cables/wires are bundled/stored clear of moving parts. Failure to do so could cause damage to the
cable/wire and cause bed malfunction.
Mattress
The MC9R/Encore
®
bed has been designed to minimize the risk of patient entrapment while maintaining as
much patient comfort and protection as possible.
NOTE: Mattresses that are dimensionally correct still may not comply with FDA and Health Canada
entrapment guidelines. In addition to the dimensions of mattresses, therapeutic considerations may be a key
criterion in mattress selection, superseding entrapment concerns for resident or patient therapy and clinical
benefits.
Irrespective of the mattress it is the responsibility of the healthcare facility to ensure that the bed meets
entrapment guidelines at the time of use and throughout the life cycle of the product.
