8.4 Removing / Inserting Laminate Panels
The headboard and footboard on the bed contain moulded laminate panels. In certain models of
bed, these can be removed and used for resuscitation purposes. To do so, the laminate panels are
used underneath the patient to provide a steady surface.
8.4.1 To Remove
Lift the laminate panels upwards and remove them by pulling them away towards the inward-
facing side of the bed.
8.4.2 To Insert
Proceed as follows:
1st Insert the moulded laminate panel from the inward-facing side of the bed.
2nd Make sure that all four locating brackets of the laminate panel slot onto the corresponding bolts.
The bolts are located on the vertical tubing posts on the headboard or footboard.
Risk of Injury
The openings on the locating brackets must always face outwards away from the bed.
Otherwise there is a risk that patients could lift the laminate panel out themselves. The laminate
panel would then fall onto the floor.
