Important Precautions
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 conguration, 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.
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. Floor locks
increase bed stability and resident/patient safety.
Floor and caster swivel locks must be locked prior
to any resident/patient transfer or resident/patient
use of the bed. Failure to do so could result in injury
or death.
Warning: Possible Injury Or Death. Residents/
patients may become entangled in pendant cord.
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 1050 pounds. This is total weight
counting resident/patient, mattress, bedding and
any other equipment or persons likely to be on
bed. Do not exceed 1050-pound safe working load.
Exceeding the safe working load could result in
property damage, injury or death.
Warning: Possible Fire Hazard. Use nasal mask
or ½ bed tent oxygen administering equipment.
Oxygen tent should not extend below Mattress
Support Platform. Pendant should not be placed
in an oxygen-enriched environment such as an
oxygen tent. Use of electrical circuits in an oxygenenriched environment could result in a re hazard.
Warning: Possible Shock Hazard. Injury may
result from improper routing of the power cord.
Always follow the proper factory-installed routing
conguration. Failure to do so could result in injury or
death.
Warning: Possible Injury Or Death. Use a mattress
that is properly sized to t Mattress Support Platform,
which will remain centered on Mattress Support
Platform relative to State and Federal guidelines.
Length and width should match Mattress Support
Platform. Use of an improperly tted mattress could
result in injury or death.
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 at position when
unattended. Failure to do so could result in injury or
death.
Warning: Possible Injury or Death. An optimal
bed system assessment should be conducted on
each resident by a qualied 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/cdrh/beds/.
Warning: Possible Injury Or Death. Use a properly
sized mattress in order to minimize the gap between
the side of mattress and Side Rails/Assist Devices.
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 Mattress Support Platform, does
not create any hazardous gaps. Excessive gaps may
result in injury or death.
Warning: Possible Injury Or Death. Do not use any
Side Rails/Assist Devices until you verify they are
locked in place. Failure to lock assist devices may
result in injury or death.
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,disconnect
battery and unplug bed from any outlet.

Model Bari10A
Warning: Possible Injury Or Death. If using
accessories not manufactured, marketed, or provided
by Joerns Healthcare for Joerns® 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. Bed power
cord has hospital-grade, 3-pronged grounded plug.
Grounding reliability can only be achieved when
equipment is connected to an equivalent receptacle
marked “hospital-grade”. If external grounding
conductor is in doubt, operate bed from backup
battery. Failure to do so could result in injury.
Warning: Possible Equipment Damage Or Injury
To Staff Members. Service and repair must only be
performed by qualied, authorized Joerns Healthcare
Technical Support personnel.
Warning: Explosion Hazard. Do not use in the
presence of ammable anesthetics, gas or vapors.
Failure to heed this warning could result in equipment
damage, injury or death.
Caution: Stay clear of underneath the bed when
adjusting or moving the bed.
Caution: Mattress Support Platform is not grounded,
nor does it have a potential equalization connection
point. To prevent injury to resident/patient connected
to intravascular or intercardial medical equipment,
alternate measure must be implemented to equalize
the potential between Mattress Support Platform and
medical equipment.
Warning: To reduce the risk of injury, ensure the
Mattress Support Platform is horizontal and in the
lowest position with the siderails fully raised and
locked when moving the bed with a resident/patient
in it. For best maneuverability, push the bed from the
head end.
To avoid injury to the resident/patient and/or user, do
not attempt to move the bed laterally with the steer
engaged. The wheel cannot swivel.
Warning: Medical electrical equipment needs
special precautions regarding EMC and needs to be
installed and put into service according to the EMC
information provided in this manual.
Caution: Particular precaution must be considered
during exposure to strong emission source such as
High Frequency surgical equipment and
similar devices. Do not route High Frequency
cables on or near device. If in doubt, contact a
qualied technician.
Warning: Possible Injury or Death. Make sure
Mattress Support Platform is in non-extended
position (narrow) and all casters are locked during
resident/patient transfers.
Caution: To avoid damage to the siderail
mechanisms, do not move the bed using the
siderails. Use the push/pull handles integrated in
the end panels to move the bed.
Caution: Before transporting bed, unplug bed
from power source, wrap Power Cord around Cord
storage hooks on bed frame below Head Panel and
hang Pendant Cord from Foot Panel. Failure to do
so could result in Power Cord, Pendant Cord, or
bed damage, thereby creating a potential hazard.
Caution: Drainage bag loops are not intended for
use as tie downs.
When assessing the risk for entrapment, you need
to consider your bed, mattress, Head/Foot Panels,
Side Rails/Assist Device and other accessories, as
a system. It is also extremely important to review
the resident/patient’s physical and mental condition
and initiate an appropriate individual care plan to
address entrapment risk. All Joerns bed systems
are evaluated for compliance to the
FDA/CDRH “Hospital Bed System Dimensional and
Assessment Guidance to Reduce Entrapment.”
For more information, call your distributor (contact
information found on page 18).
Warning: The Bari10A should not be used adjacent
to, or stacked with, other equipment due to the risk
of electronic interference. If adjacent or stacked use
is necessary, the bed should be observed to verify
normal operation in the conguration in which it will be
used.
Warning: Using non-approved cables and
accessories may negatively affect the EMC
performance.
Warning: Mobile RF communication equipment can
affect Medical Electrical Equipment.

Bed System Entrapment Information
In April 1999, the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) in partnership with
representatives from the hospital and post-acute
bed industry, including Joerns Healthcare, national
healthcare organizations, resident advocacy
groups, and other federal agencies formed the
Hospital Bed Safety Workgroup (HBSW). The
workgroup’s goal is to improve the safety of bed
frames for patients and residents in all health
care settings who are most vulnerable to the
risk of entrapment. The efforts of the FDA and
the HBSW culminated in the FDA’s release of
recommended guidelines intended to reduce the
risk of entrapment, including dimensional limits
for critical gaps and spaces between bed system
components and clinical guidance for assessment
and implementation of bed side rails in various
health care settings.
Entrapment zones involve the relationship of
bed components often directly assembled by the
healthcare facility rather than the manufacturer.
Therefore, compliance is the responsibility of
the facility.
As the leading manufacturer of long-term care
beds and a frontrunner in addressing this critical
issue, Joerns Healthcare can offer you the
expertise, assistance and products to bring your
facility into compliance.
Joerns® Compliance Solutions
Matching the right bed components in order to meet
regulatory guidelines can be complex.
That is why Joerns offers a wide array of compliance
options. We assist customers in selecting compliant
accessories recommended for their specic
bed model.
For More Information
