CHAPERONEr BED EXIT (OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT)
For beds with a scale system:
NOTE
If the weigh system is in use, it will switch to ”off” when the “ARM” key is pressed.
1. Before putting the patient on the bed, the weigh system must be zeroed for the Bed Exit System to func-
tion properly (see page 26 for instructions on zeroing the weigh system).
2. Put the patient on the bed and push the “ARM” key to activate the Bed Exit function. The ”ARMED” light
will come on.
3. To deactivate Bed Exit, push the ”DISARM” key. The ”ARMED” and ”BED EXIT ON” lights will turn off.
For beds without a scale system:
1. Before putting the patient on the bed, press and hold the ”ARM” and the ”DISARM” keys together until
the ”ARMED” light begins to flash.
2. Release the ”ARM” and the ”DISARM” keys and do not touch the bed until the ”ARMED” light stops flashing.
3. Put the patient on the bed and push the ”ARM” key to activate the Bed Exit function. The ”ARMED” light
will come on.
4. To deactivate Bed Exit, push ”DISARM”. The ”ARMED” and ”BED EXIT ON” lights 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.
To avoid possible injury and to assure proper operation when using a powered mattress replacement system
such as XPRT, do not initialize (“arm”) bed exit with Percussion, Vibration, Rotation or Turn−Assist active.
The patient motion and position resulting from a dynamic therapy mattress may adversely affect bed exit sys-
tem performance.
