Safety Tips And Guidelines - Stryker 4701 Manual De Uso

SAFETY TIPS AND GUIDELINES

Before operating the Stryker LD304 Birthing Bed, it is important to read and understand all information in this
manual. Carefully read and strictly follow the safety guidelines listed on this page.
It is important that all users have been trained and educated on the inherent hazards associated with the
usage of electric beds.
To ensure its proper use and the safety of patients and staff, the LD304 Birthing Bed has been marked with
the following caution and warning labels:
DANGER Explosion Hazard − do not use in the presence of flammable anesthetics.
CAUTION This unit is equipped with a hospital grade attachment plug. Grounding reliability can be
achieved only when equipment is connected to equivalent receptacle.
CAUTION Electrical shock hazard. Do not remove cover panels. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel.
CAUTION Disconnect the power cord while using the manual hand crank.
WARNING
S
Powered bed mechanisms can cause serious injury. Operate bed only when all persons are clear of the
mechanisms.
S
To help reduce the number and severity of falls by patients, always leave the bed in the lowest position
when the patient is unattended.
S
When raising the siderails, listen for the "click" that indicates the siderail has locked in the up position.
Pull firmly on the siderail to ensure it is locked into position. Siderails are not intended to be a patient
restraint device. It is the responsibility of attending medical personnel to determine the degree of restraint
and the siderail positioning necessary to ensure a patient will remain safely in bed. The intermediate posi-
tion should be used only to assist the patient during ingress and egress from the bed.
S
Always apply the caster brakes when a patient is getting on or off the bed. Always keep the caster brakes
applied when a patient is on the bed (except during transport). Serious injury could result if the bed moves
while a patient is getting in or out of bed. After the brake pedal is applied, push on the bed to ensure the
brakes are locked. When moving the bed, put the pedal in the steer position. This locks the swivel motion
of the right foot end caster and makes the bed easier to move.
S
The instant CPR release is for emergency use only. Before activating the instant CPR, verify all persons
and equipment are away from the area below and around the Fowler (back rest) section of the bed or
serious personal injury or damage to the equipment could occur.
S
Prior to placing weight on the foot section, verify the locking bar has been lowered and locked. The foot
section locking bar is not designed for use as a grasping bar or other patient assist device.
S
When large spills occur in the area of the circuit boards, 110 volt cables and motors, immediately unplug
the bed power cord from the wall socket. Remove the patient from the bed and clean up the fluid. Have
maintenance completely check the bed. Fluids can have an affect on operational capabilities of any elec-
trical product. DO NOT put the bed back into service until it is completely dry and has been thoroughly
tested for safe operation.
S
To avoid entanglement, possibly resulting in frayed power cords and risk of electrical shock, wrap the bed
power cord around the roller bumpers at the head end of the bed during transport.
S
There is a possible fire hazard when using oxygen administering equipment of other than the nasal, mask,
or 1/2−bed−length tent type. Oxygen tent should not extend below the mattress support platform. Side-
rails must be kept outside of the oxygen tent.
