Warnings

• WARNING: Possible Injury Or Death. This product is intended for use as an adjustable mattress

platform that contours for resident/patient comfort with adjustable height for resident/patient and
caregiver convenience. Use of this product in a manner for which it was not designed could result in
unproven or unsafe configuration, potentially resulting in injury or death.

• WARNING: Possible Injury. Before adjusting bed, ensure that area under and near bed perimeter is

free of people and obstructions. Failure to do so could result in injury or damage to the bed.

• WARNING: Possible Injury. Keep bed in lowest position except when providing care (bathing,

clothing changes, etc.). Bed should be at lowest convenient height for entry or exit. Failure to do so
could result in injury.

• WARNING: Possible Injury Or Death. Resident/ patients may become entangled in pendant cord.

Resident/patients with reduced mental acuity should not be allowed access to pendant. Unsupervised
use of pendant could result in injury or death.

• WARNING: Possible Injury Or Death. Bed safe working load is 500 pounds. This is total weight

counting resident/patient, mattress, bedding accessories and any other equipment or persons likely to
be on bed. Do not exceed 500-pound safe working load. Exceeding the safe working load could result
in property damage, injury or death.

• WARNING: Possible Injury Or Death. Do not roll bed over abrupt thresholds with resident/patient

in bed. Bed is not designed for transporting resident/patient. Transporting resident/patient in the bed
could result in injury or death.

• WARNING: Possible fire hazard when used with oxygen administrating equipment other than nasal,

mask or ½ bed length tent type. Not for use with full bed length tent or hyperbaric oxygen chamber.
Oxygen tent should not extend below mattress support platform. Lock hand control at foot of bed
when using oxygen administering equipment.

• WARNING: Possible Shock Hazard. Unplug power cord from wall outlet before performing any

maintenance, cleaning or service to the bed. Failure to do so could result in injury or death. Note: In
case of unexpected movement, unplug bed from any outlet.

• WARNING: Possible Shock Hazard. Injury may result from improper routing of the power cord.

Always follow the proper factory-installed routing configuration. Failure to do so could result in injury
or death.

• WARNING: Possible Injury Or Death. Use a mattress that is properly sized to fit mattress deck,

that will remain centered on mattress deck relative to State and Federal guidelines. Direct Supply
recommends the use of a mattress with minimum dimensions of 35 inches wide and 6 inches deep.
Length should match mattress support platform. Use of an improperly fitted mattress could result in
injury or death. If using the optional width extension kit, or the bed is equipped with the integrated
width expansion, Direct Supply recommends the use of a mattress with a minimum width of 39 inches
for a 39 inch setting and 42 inches for 42 inch setting.

Warnings (cont.)

• WARNING: Possible Injury Or Death. If a resident/patient’s mental or physical condition could lead

to resident/patient entrapment, the mattress support platform should be left in the flat position when
unattended. Failure to do so could result in injury or death.

• WARNING: An optimal bed system assessment should be conducted on each resident by a

qualified clinician or medical provider to ensure maximum safety of the resident. The assessment
should be conducted within the context of, and in compliance with, the state and federal guidelines
related to the use of restraints and bed system entrapment guidance, including the Clinical
Guidance for the Assessment and Implementation of Side Rails published by the Hospital Bed
Safety Workgroup of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Further information can be obtained
at the following web address: http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/ProductsandMedicalProcedures/
GeneralHospitalDevicesandSupplies/HospitalBeds/default.htm.

• WARNING: Possible Injury Or Death. Use a properly sized mattress in order to minimize the gap

between the side of mattress and assist device. This gap must be small enough to prevent resident/
patient from getting his/her head or neck caught in this location. Make sure that raising or lowering
bed, or contouring the sleep surface, does not create any hazardous gaps. Excessive gaps may result
in injury or death.

• WARNING: Possible Injury Or Death. Locate mounting brackets for assist devices strictly according

to instructions. Gap between head/foot panel and assist device must be small enough or large enough
to prevent resident/patient from getting his/her head or neck caught in this location (see specific Assist
Device Installation Instructions for more information). If multiple assist devices are used, position
each so that gap between them is large enough for trunk and hips to pass through easily. Make sure
raising or lowering bed, or contouring sleep surface does not create any hazardous gaps. Failure to do
so could result in injury or death. Important Note: Powered air mattress surfaces may pose a risk of
entrapment. Prior to use, ensure the therapeutic benefits outweigh the risk of entrapment.

• WARNING: Possible Injury Or Death. Do not use an assist device if any openings within assist

device body allow resident/patient to get his/her head or neck lodged within these openings. Use of
assist devices with large openings may result in injury or death.

• WARNING: Possible Injury Or Death. Do not use any Panacea

designed specifically for you Panacea® bed and it is locked in place. Failure to lock assist devices may
result in injury or death.

• WARNING: Possible Injury Or Death. Do not use any replacement parts not manufactured,

marketed or provided by Direct Supply Panacea on any Direct Supply Panacea bed. Use of unapproved
replacement parts may result in injury or death.

• WARNING: Possible Injury Or Death. If using accessories not manufactured, marketed or provided

by Direct Supply Panacea for Direct Supply Panacea beds, consult with the manufacturer for
compatibility and limitations prior to use. Failure to do so may result in injury or death.

• WARNING: Possible Shock Hazard. If the bed power cord has a hospital-grade, 3-prong grounding

plug, grounding reliability can only be achieved when equipment is connected to an equivalent
receptacle marked hospital-grade.

assist device until you verify it is

• WARNING: Possible Injury. Sitting on or sliding over the Mattress Side Stop can cause skin injury if

the bed mattress compresses to less than 1.5 inches under user’s weight.

• WARNING: Possible Injury. Risk of entanglement or injury may occur if mattress used with Mattress

Side Stop does not fill the entire width between stops or which compresses to less than 1.5 inches
under user’s weight.

• WARNING: Possible Injury or Death. Floor locks increase bed stability and resident safety. Make

sure the bed is in a locked position with respect to the floor by ensuring the casters are off the floor or
if equipped, the safety lock is in the locked position before attempting any resident transfers. Failure to
do so could result in injury or death.

• WARNING: Possible Injury. Use caution when activating the safety lock function. This feature was

designed to be activated by your foot. Using your hand to activate the safety lock system could result
in injury.

• CAUTION: In the absence of line voltage, all bed adjustments can be achieved via an externally

available backup battery. Direct Supply recommends a minimum of one battery for every twenty five
beds per facility.

• CAUTION: This device complies with EMC requirements of IEC 60601-1-2. Radio transmitting

equipment, cellular phones or similar electronic devices, used in proximity of bed, may affect
bed performance.

• CAUTION: Particular precaution must be considered during exposure to strong emission sources

such as High Frequency surgical equipment and similar devices. Do not route High Frequency cables
on or near device. If in doubt, contact a qualified technician.

• CAUTION: Your Panacea bed is intended for use within an institutional healthcare environment (ie:

skilled nursing, transitional care, rehabilitational care, assisted living). Direct Supply recommends
compliance to the regulations and guidelines specified to your locality.

This product is only one part of your healthcare bed system. Proper combinations of mattress, head/
foot panels and assist devices are needed to minimize the risk of entrapment. For more information,
