Litter Operation Guide

CPR EMERGENCY RELEASE USAGE
When quick access to the patient is needed, and the Fowler is raised, squeeze one of the two red release
handles (see illustration, page 4) and the Fowler can be guided down to a flat position.
NOTE
The handle can be released at any time to stop lowering the Fowler.
FOLEY BAG HOOKS USAGE, STANDARD AND ISOLATED (Isolated Optional
Equipment)
The standard Foley bag hooks are found at two locations on both sides of the bed, under the frame rail below
the seat section and the extreme foot end of the bed.
NOTE
The patient weight reading on the bed scale system will be affected by using the standard Foley bag hooks.
The optional isolated Foley bag hooks are located under the litter frame at the top of the foot end bellows.
CAUTION
The Foley bag hooks move when the Fowler is raised or lowered. Fowler motion must be locked out when
using these hooks, and great care must be taken by the clinician to avoid inadvertent movement of the hooks.
NOTE
The patient weight reading on the bed scale system will not be affected by usage of the isolated Foley bag
hooks.
FOOT PROP USAGE
To prop the foot end of the Knee Gatch up, grasp
the handle (A) at the end of the Knee Gatch and
lift upward, allowing the latch arm to engage at the
desired height. To release the prop, lift up slightly
on the handle (A) and swing the foot prop handle
(B) toward the head end of the bed to disengage
the hinge and allow the foot end to lower.
FRACTURE FRAME USAGE
A standard fracture frame can be mounted on the bed using the I.V. sockets located on all four corners of
the bed. I.V. poles can be used in conjunction with a fracture frame if I. V. pole adaptor sockets are purchased.
