Instruct ion s fo r Use
NOTE:
Putting the Bed into the Emergency CPR Position
Putting the Electric Bed Model into the Emergency CPR Position
When activated, the CPR release disengages the head section actuator so that the head
section may lower to the horizontal position. This function can be used when power is not
available.
The emergency CPR controls are handles located
under the sleep deck, between the head end and
the head end siderails on both sides of the bed.
1. Pull and hold the handle. Hold the handle
until the head section come to a stop in the
flat position.
2. Release the handle.
The emergency CPR control handle must be
continually pulled until the head section of the bed reaches a flat position. Releasing the
control handle will cause the head section to stop lowering.
The head section actuator is automatically re-enabled after the CPR control handle is
released.
Putting the Manual Bed Model into the Emergency CPR Position
At the foot end of the bed, use the manual
controls to rapidly lower the head s ection
of the bed (see “Using the Manual
Caregiver Controls (Manual Bed Model
Only)” on page 11).

Raising and Lowering the TuckAway Siderails
NOTE:
WARNING:
Evaluate patients for entrapment risk according to facility protocol, and monitor
patients appropriately.
WARNING:
Evaluate patients for entrapment risk according to facility protocol, and monitor
patients appropriately. Make sure all siderails are fully latched when in the raised
position. Failure to do either of these could result in serious injury or death.
Siderails are intended to be a reminder to the patient of the unit’s edges, not a patientrestraining device. When appropriate, Hill-Rom recommends that medical personnel
determine the proper methods necessary to make sure a patient remains safely in bed.
WARNING:
Use of a mattress overlay reduces the effective height of the siderails above the
sleep surface. When using a mattress overlay, evaluate the patient for the risk of
falls, and take appr opria te measu res. F ail ure to do so could resu lt in pat ient injury.
When the bed is occupied, the siderails should be in the raised position.
Raising a Siderail
1. Pull the siderail out from under the bed.
2. Rotate the siderail up to the raise d position
until a click is heard.
Lowering a Siderail
1. Pull the Pull siderail release lever.
2. Rotate the siderail down to the lowered
position.
3. Push the siderail under the bed to the
stored position.
