BED EXIT SYSTEM (OPTIONAL)
WARNING
The Bed Exit system (optional) is intended only to help in the detection of a patient exiting the bed. It is not intended to
replace patient monitoring protocol. The Bed Exit system signals when a patient is about to exit the bed. The addition or
removal of equipment with a Bed Exit system armed must be done using the “Adding or Removing Equipment with the
System Armed” procedure (on page 22), otherwise the sensitivity of the system may be affected and the readings of the
patient’s movement in the bed be erroneous.
The Bed Exit system (optional) is not designed to be used with patients weighing less than 50 lb (23 kg).
K: Press to activate or deactivate the Bed Exit.

Note
For the Bed Exit alarm signal to be heard in the nurse station, the bed must be equipped with the optional nurse call
function. For beds without the optional nurse call, the alarm signal will be heard only in the patient’s room.
