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 but 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 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 alert light are not
recommended.
BATTERY BACKUP OPTION - OPTIONAL INVERTER PROTECTION FEATURES
The optional EPIC II
®
PLUS inverter has several features to prevent internal damage:
1. Low Battery Voltage - If the battery voltage at the inverter drops below the low voltage cut-off, the inverter will
shut off.
2. Over-Temperature - If the inverter gets too hot, it will shut off. The overheating may be caused by high ambient
temperature, blocked air flow or an overload condition. When the inverter reaches an acceptable temperature, it
will restart.
3. Over-Power - The inverter will source up to its maximum power rating. If the load requires more, the output voltage
will shut down. Turning the power switch off and on will reset the inverter. Plugging the bed power cord into the
wall socket to charge the battery will reset the inverter.
WARNING
The inverter generates 120VAC, the same as a wall receptacle. To prevent injury, do not put anything into the electrical
outlets other than an appliance power cord. Keep the outlets covered when not in use. Do not submerge the unit or
subject it to moisture.
