Introduction
Overview
The Advanta™ Bed is a four-motor, retractable-type bed with multiple
articulation features (see “Bed Positions” on page 1-17). A variety of options
are available, including nurse call, patient scale, a Patient Position Monitoring
(PPM) system, night light, air system, and siderail controls. See “Features” on
page 1-8 for additional information concerning some of the Advanta™ Bed
features.
Operating Precautions
Before operating the Advanta™ Bed, be sure that you have read and
understood in detail the contents of this manual. It is important that you read
and strictly adhere to the “Safety Tips” on page 1-40.
Any reference to a side of the bed is from the patient’s view lying in the bed.
For additional operating precautions for the Advanta™ Bed and its
accessories, refer to the Advanta™ Bed User Manual.
Features
Head Section Inclination
The head section of the Advanta™ Bed can be raised or lowered by utilizing
the switches on the head end siderails. Switches are on both the patient sides
and caregiver sides of the siderails. Pressing and holding the head up or headdown switch causes the head section to move up or down accordingly. Once
the switch is released, the head section stops moving. The head section can be
inclined up to 65°. Head angle indicators located on the caregiver (outer) sides
of the siderails display the amount of inclination in degrees.
Automatic Contour
The automatic contour feature raises the knee section automatically when the
head section is raised. This increases the occupant’s comfort and helps keep
the occupant from sliding toward the foot end of the bed when the head up
function is activated.
Page 1 - 8Advanta™ Bed Service Manual (man168ra)
Introduction
Chapter 1: Introduction
When the head up switch is activated from the patient (inner) sides of the
siderails, the automatic contour feature is activated. The automatic contour
function raises the knee section up to 15° as the head section is raised. The
automatic contour can only be activated from the patient siderail control
panels, and not from the caregiver siderail control panels.
To disable the automatic contour function, press and hold the knee down
switch as the head up switch is activated. The automatic contour feature can
also be disabled by activating the knee lockout on the footboard control panel.
Articulating Frame
The Advanta™ Bed is a retractable-type bed, which means that the articulating
frame moves towards the head end of the bed as the head section is elevated.
This has the effect of keeping the patient in the same relative position with
regard to objects outside the bed, such as shelves or night stands. This allows
the occupant to continue accessing these fixtures the same as when the bed was
in the flat position.
1
Knee Section Inclination
The knee section of the Advanta™ Bed can be raised or lowered by utilizing
the switches on the head end siderails. Switches are on both the patient sides
and caregiver sides of the siderails. Pressing and holding the knee up or kneedown switch causes the knee section to move up or down accordingly. Once
the switch is released, the knee section stops moving. The knee section can be
inclined up to 35°.
Foot Section Inclination
The foot section may be elevated by raising it manually and engaging the
support arm (vascular positioning bar). This does not affect the operation of
other bed functions.
Hilow Sleeping Surface
The Advanta™ Bed can be raised or lowered up to 13.25" (33.66 cm) by
utilizing the switches on the head end siderails or the footboard control panel.
On the siderails, the bed up/down switches are available only on the caregiver
(outer) sides. The low position is for general use and to assist with patient
egress, while the high position is f or patient examinations.

Chapter 1: Introduction
Trendelenburg/Reverse Trendelenburg
The Advanta™ Bed can be placed into a maximum of 11° Trendelenburg or
Reverse Trendelenburg positions by utilizing the switches on the footboard
control panel. The Trendelenburg and Reverse Trendelenburg features can be
activated at any bed height, and the bed will adjust its height if necessary.
The Trendelenburg angle indicator, located on the footboard control panel,
displays the amount of Trendelenburg or Reverse Trendelenburg in degrees
and inches.
If the head or knee sections are articulated, they will automatically return to the
flat position when the Trendelenburg or Reverse Trendelenburg functions are
activated.
To return the bed to the flat position from the Trendelenburg or Reverse
Trendelenburg positions, activate either the bed up or the bed down switch.
Chair Position
TheAdvanta™Bedcanbeplacedinareclinerchairpositionbyutilizingthe
chair in switch on the footboard control panel. When activated, the chair
position function simultaneously puts the bed into the low hilow position, and
raises the head up function in the automatic contour mode (raising the knee
section also). After this is achieved, the Reverse Trendelenburg function is
activated to complete the chair position of the bed.
For large patients or patients at risk for skin breakdown due to pressure
ulceration, briefly activating the chair out switch after achieving the chair
position will tilt the bed back some more.
CPR Release
The CPR Release enables the caregiver to save valuable time in an emergency.
When activated, the CPR Release quickly lowers the head section of the bed to
the flat position, enabling emergency procedures to be performed without
unnecessary loss of time. After the head section is down, the knee section also
comes down to the flat position. On beds equipped with an integrated air
surface, the auto firm function engages automatically when the CPR Release is
activated. This provides a firm surface that supports a CPR board.
If electrical power is lost, the auto firm function does not engage; the air
mattress maintains the same level of air pressure that it had at the time of
power loss. CPR board effectiveness could be reduced in this circumstance.

Introduction
Chapter 1: Introduction
After the CPR Release has been activated and the entire sleep surface is in the
flat position, the bed automatically resets itself for normal operation. The head
motor takes 30 seconds to resume its normal operation.
To operate the CPR Release:
Activate the CPR Release by pushing one of the red switches (A) on the side of
the release handle (B), and pulling out on the handle (see figure 1-5 on page
1-11). Then release the handle. The CPR Release handles are located on each
side of the head section of the bed.

m168_040
If the head section is elevated less than 24°, the knee section may not flatten
completely when you activate the CPR release. If this happens, use the kneedown switch to lower the knee section to the flat position.
Casters
The bed is mounted on four precision bearing, swivel-type casters. Each caster
has molded polyurethane wheels. The wheels are easily removed for cleaning
or replacing.

Introduction
Chapter 1: Introduction
Central Brake and Steer
The Advanta™ Bed is equipped with four-wheel braking and two-wheel
steering. The pedal controls can be accessed near the casters at each of the four
corners of the bed. The pedals are clearly identified to distinguish between
braking (orange) and steering (green).
Activation of the braking system (stepping on one orange pedal) locks all four
casters (wheels and swivels).
Activation of the steering system (stepping on one green pedal) locks the
swivel on both casters (steer lock) at the foot end of the bed. This enables easy
steering of the bed along corridors.
In the neutral position (neither brake nor steer), the swivels and casters move
freely, allowing the bed to be moved in any direction. This mode is used for
exact positioning of the bed and maneuvering in tight areas.
Manual Operation
If electrical power becomes unavailable, the hilow and head functions may be
manually operated by using the removable IV pole.
Headboard and Footboard
Advanta™ Beds have post-type bed end mountings. The headboard and
footboard slide down onto the vertical mounting posts located at each end of
the bed and are not locked in place. You can remove the headboard or
footboard by lifting them vertically off the mounting posts.
Both the headboard and footboard feature multi-piece, blow-molded plastic
construction with internal reinforcements, and a high pressure laminate (HPL)
decorator panel. They also include steel tubing inserts for mounting purposes.
Footboard
The footboard of the Advanta™ Bed houses the footboard control panel and
helps protect it from damage. Footboards are removable from the beds and
interchangeable among beds with the same category of mattresses (air or nonair). The footboard has hand grips to aid in bed steering and positioning.
