It is important that the EPIC II
®
Critical Care Bed is working properly before it is put into service. The following list will
help ensure that each part of the bed is checked.
• Plug the bed into a properly grounded, hospital grade wall receptacle.
WARNING
The EPIC II
®
Critical Care Bed is equipped with a hospital grade plug for protection against shock hazard. It must be
plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. Grounding reliability can be achieved only when a
hospital grade receptacle is used.
• Depress the pedal at either side of the bed fully to set the four wheel brakes and ensure all four casters lock.
Depress the pedal again to release the brakes.
• Toggle the steer pedal to put the bed in the steer mode and ensure the locking caster engages.
• Ensure the siderails raise and lower smoothly and lock in the up and intermediate positions.
• Run through each function on the footboard control panel and ensure that each is working properly.
• Ensure all functions are working properly on the siderail controls.
• Raise the Back up to approximately 60°. Squeeze the CPR release handle and ensure the Back and Knee will drop
with minimal effort.
• If the bed is equipped with the EPIC II
®
PLUS battery backup option, unplug the power cord from the wall socket.
Push the battery power switch located on the lower left corner of the head end to the “On” position. Again, verify
each function on the footboard and siderails is operating properly. The 12 volt batteries that provide backup power
to the unit functions with the EPIC II
®
PLUS option will charge whenever the power cord is plugged into the wall
socket. The batteries require approximately 10 hours of charging time before the bed is put into service.
• If the bed is equipped with the Nurse Call option, verify it is functioning properly prior to patient use.
