2.8 FOLEY BAG HOOKS
Foley bag hooks (see page 11, "Bed Illustration") are found at three locations on both sides
of the bed, under the edges of the mattress support head, seat and foot sections.
2.9 FOOT PROP ROD
A foot prop rod, integrated to the foot section, is automatically
engaged when the Knee Gatch is raised. The foot prop rod
maintains the foot section nearly horizontal as the Knee Gatch
raises, thus positioning the sleep surface into the vascular
position (see page 7, "Bed Positions").
Since the foot prop rod automatically engages when the Knee Gatch is raised, it must be
disengaged manually whenever a simple Knee Gatch raise is required. To do so, perform
the following steps:
• Reach under the foot section, lift the prop rod and hold it
while raising the Knee Gatch using the control located on
the foot board control panel.
• As the Knee Gatch raises, the rod will come to pass the
catches. Release it then and continue to raise the Knee
Gatch. The foot section will then simply follow the motion
of the Knee Gatch without being propped.
2.10 BALKAN FRAME INSTALLATION
A standard Balkan frame can be installed on the bed using the IV sockets (see page 11,
"Bed Illustration") located on all four corners of the bed. The IV pole sockets enable the use
of IV poles in conjunction with a Balkan frame.
2.11 PATIENT RESTRAINT STRAP LOCATIONS
The FL17E is equipped with 12 separate locations for installing patient restraint straps. Ten
of them are located on the mattress support edges directly across from each other whereas
the remaining two are located on the top part of the head section, parallel to the head board
(see page 11, "Bed Illustration").
Improperly adjusted restraint straps can cause serious injury to a patient. It is the responsibility
of the attending medical personnel to determine proper use of restraint straps and restraint strap
locations.
