Important Precautions
Warning: Possible Injury Or Death. This product is
intended for use as an adjustable mattress support 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. 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. 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. Joerns Healthcare
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 tted mattress could result in injury or death. If
using Comfort Extension, see Comfort Extension manual for
proper mattress size.
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: 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.
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. Use nasal mask or ½ bed
tent oxygen administering equipment. Oxygen tent should
not extend below mattress deck. Pendant should not be
placed in an oxygen-enriched environment such as an
oxygen tent. Use of electrical circuits in an oxygen-enriched
environment could result in a re hazard.
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 conguration. Failure to do so could
result in injury or death.
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 specic 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 benets outweigh the risk of entrapment.

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.
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
ll 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 oor by ensuring the
casters are off the oor or if equipped, the UltraLock 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
UltraLock function. This feature was designed to be activated
by your foot. Using your hand to activate the UltraLock
system could result in injury.

Caution: The Joerns UltraCare
®
XT is intended for use
within an institutional healthcare environment (ie: skilled
nursing, transitional care, rehabilitational care, assisted
living). Joerns Healthcare recommends compliance to the
regulations and guidelines specied to your locality.
Joerns assist devices or side rails are designed to be used
with specic Joerns bed frames. Once mounted on the
appropriate bed frame, assist devices or side rails become
an integral part of the Joerns bed system. As such, these
mounted assist devices or side rails can handle the same
safe working load, within normal use conditions, of the
appropriate bed to which they are mounted.
When assessing the risk for entrapment, you need to
consider your bed, mattress, head/foot panels, assist
devices 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.”
Assemble, install, utilize and maintain Joerns Side Rails/
Assist Devices as described in their accompanying Joerns
User/ Service Manual, which also lists the bed type or model
with which these devices may be used.
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.
Save These Instructions
Caution: In the absence of line voltage, all bed articulations
can be achieved via an externally available backup battery
(Joerns P/N N511). Joerns recommends a minimum of one
battery for every twenty ve beds per facility.
Thank you and congratulations for choosing Joerns
UltraCare XT bed. Joerns beds are developed with safety,
comfort and convenience of both residents/patients and
caregivers in mind.
Advanced ergonomic design will provide years of reliable
service in your facility.

Bed System Entrapment Information
Although essential in the practice of long-term care,
bedside rails, in recent years, have also been a
subject of regulatory review and evolution in design
and use.
That focus includes not only the challenge of achieving
an appropriate balance between resident security and
unnecessary restraint, but also the additional safety
issue of entrapment.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA),
working with our company and other industry
representatives has addressed the potential danger
of entrapment with new safety guidelines for medical
beds. These guidelines recommend dimensional limits
for critical gaps and spaces between bed system
components.
Entrapment zones involve the relationship of
components often directly assembled by the
healthcare facility rather than the manufacturer.
Therefore, compliance is the responsibility of the
facility.
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.
Creating a Safer Care Environment
While the guidelines apply to all healthcare settings,
(hospitals, nursing homes and at home), long-term
care facilities have particular exposure since serious
entrapment events typically involve frail, elderly or
dementia patients.
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.
