Summary of Safety Precautions
IBED
®
AWARENESS OPTION
In addition to the previous warnings and cautions, all of the following warnings and cautions apply to units equipped
with the iBed
®
Awareness option.
WARNING
• The optional iBed
®
Awareness system only indicates the siderail position, it does NOT indicate if the siderail is
locked. It is the caregiver’s responsibility to ensure that the siderails are locked after every move and also before
leaving a patient in the room.
• The optional iBed
®
Awareness system indicator lights are only an aid to the caregiver, and in no way replace the
caregiver’s responsibility of checking on patients. Caregivers should not rely on the lights to perform their duties.
• Before arming the optional iBed
®
Awareness system, the nurse must physically verify that the siderails are locked.
CAUTION
• If the optional iBed
®
Awareness system is being used, ensure the bed is in the desirable state (iBed
®
Awareness
ON and with the light green) before leaving the room.
• If the optional iBed
®
Awareness system is being used and the iBed
®
Awareness is alerting, do not turn off iBed
®
Awareness as the display information to troubleshoot the bed will get lost.
• If the optional iBed
®
Awareness system is being used, use of accessories that cover the center and side alert lights
at the footboard are not recommended.
iBED
®
WIRELESS OPTION
In addition to the previous warnings and cautions, all of the following warnings and cautions apply to units equipped
with the iBed
®
Wireless option.
WARNING
• The optional iBed
®
Wireless function provides remote information of bedside information to aid the caregiver. In
no way does this option replace the caregiver’s responsibility of checking on patients. Caregivers should not rely
only on the remote information to perform their duties.
• The iBed Locator must be correctly associated or mapped to the room / location in order to provide accurate
location information. Failure to properly map the iBed Locator to the room / location will yield incorrect remote
information. Additionally, if an iBed Locator is to be moved after it has been installed and mapped, it must be re-
mapped to the new room / location in which it is moved to. iBed Locator re-mapping will also be required if the
room / location information is changed after initial installation.
• Line of sight between iBed Locator and the head end of bed must be free of obstruction at all times. Any line
of sight interference could impede communication and cause the room / location information not to be available.
• iBed
®
Wireless compatible footboard must be used for all iBed
®
Wireless beds. Some iBed
®
Wireless functionality
will be lost if an older version of the footboard is used.
• iBed
®
Wireless functionality shall be verified after installation. Failure to do may result loss of remote information
or wrong remote information. At a minimum, verify iBed locator communication with bed in all bed positions, and
iBed
®
Wireless communication with the wireless access point.
• iBed Locators must be installed more than 71” apart from one another in the same room, such as in a semi-private
room with more than one bed. Failure to do so could result in a bed communicating with the other adjacent iBed
Locator, thus providing incorrect bed location information.
CAUTION
• Wireless bed only transmits bed information and not nurse call information. The wireless bed is not intended to
replace the existing nurse call system.
