CENTER OF GRAVITY BED EXIT (OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT)
1. Push to activate Bed Exit function.
2. Push to deactivate Bed Exit function.
NOTE
If the scale system is in use, it will switch to ”off” when Bed Exit is armed. Bed Exit will be temporarily disarmed
when the scale system is activated and will re–arm when the scale system shuts off. When the bed is
equipped with scales, the scales must be properly zeroed for the Bed Exit System to function properly (see
page 27 for scale system usage instructions). If bed is not equipped with a scale system, follow the procedure
below.
1. Before putting a new patient on the bed: prepare bed for patient stay by adding linens and equipment to
the bed. Press and hold ”ARM” and ”DISARM” keys together for 5 seconds – ”ARMED” light will begin
to flash. Release ”ARM” and ”DISARM” keys and do not touch the bed until ”ARMED” light stops flashing.
2. Once the new patient is on the bed: push ”ARM” key and release (”ARMED” light will come on).
3. To deactivate Bed Exit, push ”DISARM”. The ”ARMED” and ”BED EXIT ON” LED’s will turn off.
WARNING
The Bed Exit System is intended only to aid in the detection of a patient exiting the bed. It is NOT intended
to replace patient monitoring protocol. It signals when a patient is about to exit. Adding or subtracting objects
from the bed after arming the bed exit system may cause a reduction in the sensitivity of the bed exit system.
