• Only use hospital grade electric equipment consuming 6A (120 VAC)/3A (230 VAC) or less with the hospital grade GFCI
auxiliary outlet. The use of standard electric equipment may bring the current leakage to a level unacceptable for
hospital equipment.
• Do not use the 120/230 VAC hospital grade GFCI auxiliary outlet for life sustaining equipment.
• Always lower the product to its lowest height when the patient is unattended to reduce the risk of injury due to patient
falls.
• Always lock the control panel when you leave the patient unattended.
• Always lock the patient control panel when the patient's condition requires extra safety measures.
• Do not use the scale system reading as a reference for medical treatment.
• The scale system assists only in the monitoring of the patient’s weight variation.
• Do not use the product clock to replace patient monitoring protocol, the product clock is for reference only.
• Do not use bed exit to replace patient monitoring protocol, it is intended only to aid in the detection of a patient exiting the
product..
• Do not use bed exit with patients who weigh less than 250 lb (113 kg).
• Always use two people to attach or remove the patient helper.
• Do not load the patient helper above the safe working load of 275 lb (124.7 kg).
• The use of accessories, transducers, and cables, other than those specified or provided by the manufacturer, could
result in increased electromagnetic emissions or decreased electromagnetic immunity and result in improper operation.
• Portable RF communications equipment, including peripherals such as antenna cables and external antennas, should
be no closer than 12 inches (30 cm) to any part of MMVV33, including cables specified by the manufacturer.
• Avoid stacking or placing equipment adjacent with other equipment to prevent improper operation of the products. If
such use is necessary, carefully observe stacked or adjacent equipment to make sure that they are operating properly.
CCAAUUTTIIOONN
• Improper usage of the product can cause injury to the patient or operator. Operate the product only as described in this
manual.
• Do not modify the product or any components of the product. Modifying the product can cause unpredictable operation
resulting in injury to patient or operator. Modifying the product also voids its warranty.
• Do not clean, disinfect, service, or perform maintenance while the product is in use.
• Always plug the product into a wall outlet (regulated AC-power source) when not in use to maintain a sufficient battery
charge and to maximize product performance while operating on battery power.
• Always replace batteries that have corrosion at the terminals, display cracking, have expanded or bulging sides, or no
longer can maintain a full charge.
• Always use authorized batteries when you replace the batteries. Use of unauthorized batteries may lead to
unpredictable system performance.
• Do not pinch the power cord in the bed frame.
• Do not use the siderails as a push or pull device. Always move the product using the integrated handles in the
headboard and footboard.
• Always remove the patient helper before you transport the product.
• Do not use the patient helper as a push or pull device.
• Do not use the oxygen bottle holder as a push or pull device.
• Do not use the IV pole as a push or pull device.
• Always make sure that the IV pole is at a low height during transport.
• Always make sure that all persons and equipment are away from the area below and around the Fowler before you
activate the CPR release. The CPR release is for emergency use only.
• Always expand or retract the litter width before you place a patient on the product.
• Always expand or retract the litter width when the product is in the full flat horizontal position.
• Always expand the litter deck to the desired width before you expand the headboard.
• Always retract the headboard to the desired width before you retract the litter deck.
• Do not expand or retract the headboard while a patient is on the product.
• Always make sure that the product is clear of obstacles before you use motion functions.
• Always raise the siderails when the litter is in its full down position. This prevents the scale system from weighing a
patient inaccurately.
