Litter Operation Guide

CPR EMERGENCY RELEASE
When quick access to the patient is needed, and the Fowler is raised, squeeze one of the two red release
handles (see illustration, page 13) and the Fowler can be quickly guided down to a flat position.
NOTE
The handle can be released at any time to stop the Fowler from lowering.
FOOT PROP USAGE
To prop the foot end of the Knee Gatch up, grasp
the handle (A) at the end of the Knee Gatch and
lift upward, allowing the foot prop (B) to engage at
the desired height. To release the prop, lift up on
the handle (A), swing the prop (B) toward the head
end of the bed to disengage the hinge and lower
the foot end.
WARNING
To avoid injury while cleaning or servicing under
the foot section, secure the foot section with string
or bungee cords or hold it up out of the way.
FRACTURE FRAME USAGE
A standard fracture frame can be mounted on the bed using the IV sockets located on all four corners of the
bed. IV poles can be used in conjunction with a fracture frame if IV pole adaptor sockets are purchased.
WARNING
Use only retractable traction or fracture frames. Failure to use a retractable frame may result in injury to the
patient and/or damage to the equipment.
FOLEY BAG HOOKS USAGE
The standard Foley bag hooks are found at two locations on both sides of the frame: under the frame below
the seat section and at the extreme foot end of the frame. The optional isolated Foley bag hooks are located
at the foot end of the bed on top of the lift header. The patient weight reading on the scale system will not
be affected when the optional isolated Foley bag hooks are used.
PATIENT RESTRAINT STRAP LOCATIONS
The bed has 12 locations for installing patient restraint straps on the litter top, 6 on each side of the bed.
WARNING
Improperly adjusted restraint straps can cause serious injury to a patient. The clinician must use her/his
judgement to determine proper use of restraint straps and restraint strap locations.
Clean Velcro AFTER EACH USE. Saturate Velcro with disinfectant and allow disinfectant to evaporate. (Ap-
propriate disinfectant for nylon Velcro should be determined by the hospital.)
