WARNING (CONTINUED)
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 the dynamic therapy mattress may adversely affect bed exit system performance.
• When using an XPRT Therapy Mattress extra caution and or operator supervision is required to help reduce the
likelihood of a patient fall occurring.
CAUTION
• The lockout buttons on the foot board lock the Fowler, Gatch and Bed Up/Down functions and prevent motion of
the bed. It is the responsibility of attending medical personnel to determine whether these functions should be
locked and to use the buttons accordingly.
• Because individual beds may have different options, foot boards should not be moved from one bed to another.
Mixing foot boards could result in unpredictable bed operation.
• If large fluid spills occur in the area of the circuit boards or 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 short out controls and may cause the bed to operate erratically or make some functions completely
inoperable. Component failure caused by fluids could even cause the bed to operate unpredictably and could
cause injury to the patient. DO NOT put the bed back into service until it is completely dry and has been thoroughly
tested for safe operation.
• Preventative maintenance should be performed at a minimum of annually to ensure all features are functioning as
designed. Close attention should be given to safety features including, but not limited to:
• Safety side latching mechanisms
• Leakage current 300 microamps max.
• Frayed electrical cords and components
• The siderails are not intended to be used as a pushing device. Damage to the siderails could occur.
• The use of a mattress overlay may reduce the effectiveness of the siderail.
• When attaching equipment to the bed, ensure it will not impede normal bed operation or patient injury could occur.
For example: hooks on hanging equipment must not actuate control buttons, equipment must not hide the nurse
call button, etc.
• The weight of the IV bags should not exceed 40 pounds.
• Do not add or remove weight when the bed exit system is armed.
• The cleanliness and integrity of both ground chains must be maintained to minimize static build up and
discharge.
• IV Poles should not be used as a bed push/pull device.
• The safe working load of the defibrillator tray is 40 lbs.
• The safe working load of the oxygen bottle holder is 45 lbs.
• The safe working load of the pump rack holder is 45 lbs.
