Safety Features

In This Section

This section lists the safety features built into your Echo™Bed.

Safety Features

The Echo™Bed is equipped with multiple automated safety fea­tures to prevent danger or damage during use. The entire system is
loop-grounded to UL-544 and C.S.A. Hospital Standards.

The actuator assemblies are current overload protected. If over­loaded, the actuators will stop and reset automatically.

When equipped with a supine ergometer, electrical current is rout­ed through a UL-544, C.S.A. approved multiple outlet power strip
which utilizes a safety ground-fault circuit breaker.

The sealed hand-held wand operates the actuators by directing
small amounts of low voltage D.C. current to the control box. All
of the actuator drives are equipped with internal limit switches
which automatically prevent over-extension.

The Echo™Bed is equipped with Single pedal braking and steering
casters which can be engaged with the stainless steel lever located
at the center of the base frame.

When equipped with Trendelenburg, a level indicator is located on
the sides of the bed surface to allow quick repositioning to level
after Trendelenburg procedures.

Patient Positioning

Introduction

Medical Positioning, Inc. is the only provider of the patented drop section which allows a sono­grapher to:

 Place the patient in a full left lateral decubitus position
 Improve image clarity
 Reduce image acquisition time
 Provide uninhibited access to to the apical window
 Expand intercostal spaces (with SafeTwedge™)
 Reduce foreshortening of apical images

The American Society of Echocardiography provides supporting commentary in the
“Recommendations for Quantitation of Two Dimensional Echocardiograms” on the value of the
drop section as well as the optimum patient position for performing an echocardiogram.

With your imaging surface from Medical Positioning, Inc., you are well-equipped to start
improving the quality of your images.

In This Section

You will learn how to correctly position patients on your imaging surface to optimize the
results of your echo studies. Before you begin,be sure the casters are in the locked position-

-refer to “Caster Use” section for detailed instructions.

Patient Positioning Procedure

Step

Action

1 Place a SafeTwedge™flush with the head end of the

bed (where the drop section is located). The
SafeTwedge™should be evenly centered between
the sides of the bed.

2 With the drop section closed, ask the patient to lie

on their back on the imaging surface.

Nelson B. Schiller, MD, et al..”Recommendations for Quantitation of the Left Ventricle by Two-Dimensional Echocardiograms,” Journal of the American Society of

Echocardiography, 1989, Vol. 2, pp. 358-367.

It is recommended that for obtaining optimum apical views, the patients be positioned
in steep lateral recumbency for examination. Once this position has been achieved,
it should be maintained with a wedge or pillow...(When) the patient is in a steep left
lateral position, it is frequently difficult to transect the true apex unless there is a mat­tress with a scoop or excavation at the point where the apex impulse is generally
located...Lack of specialized examining tables makes quantitative measurements
more difficult in the critical care setting where modifying the bed is not practical.

Patient Positioning Procedure (cont.)

Step Action
3 Explain to the patient that you will be opening the

drop section. While the patient will not feel any­thing, do not surprise the patient by opening the

drop section without warning.

4 Adjust the patient so that he or she is in the middle

of the bed (side to side) and so that the patient’s
armpit or axilla is aligned with the top edge of the
drop section. (See Figure 2)

If there is any question about proper positioning,
roll the patient up onto their left side, open the
Imaging Window Drop Section either remotely or
manually (for instructions on how to operate the
drop section, refer to pages II-14 to II-17) and locate
the patient’s imaging windows. Make any adjust­ments required to patient position.

If you are beginning a procedure such as a treadmill exercise echo where the patient will be off
and then back on the bed, you should alert the patient to his / her current position and explain
to the patient he / she must assume the same position post exercise. Some sonographers use
tape on the bed to mark the hip location and tell the patient to return to that marked position
following exercise. This technique can be useful, but BE CAREFUL, image windows fre-

quently shift with exercise.

Patient Positioning Procedure (cont.)

Step

Action

5 When imaging (both resting and stress) it is helpful

to ask the patient to place their left hand behind their
head. This keeps their arm clear of the imaging win­dow.

When using this product with small children, senior
citizens or well-endowed women, a Pediatric /
Geriatric Adapter (available from Medical
Positioning, Inc.) may be helpful.

6 Parasternal views can be obtained with the drop sec-

tion either open or closed. When obtaining apical
images, always open the drop section. At the com­pletion of the study, but before the patient gets up to
leave the exam surface, be sure to securely close the
drop section.

Sonographer Positioning

Introduction

The Echo™Bed Dual is designed to both improve images and max­imize sonographer ergonomics. The two drop sections built into
the bed are identified as the Imaging Window Drop Section and the
Sonographer’s Entry Drop Section. The Sonographer's Entry Drop
Section on the right of the patient provides a place for the right
sided sonographer to sit, close to the patient while maintaining an
upright position during imaging.

Once you have properly positioned the patient on his or her left side
over the Imaging Window Drop Section (see Patient Positioning
for instructions) you are ready to place yourself in the proper posi­tion, open the Imaging Window Drop Section and begin imaging
the patient.

In This Section

You will learn how to correctly position yourself on your
Echo™Bed Dual in order to insure maximum comfort and contin­ued upright posture while you are imaging your patients.

Sonographer Positioning Procedure

Before you begin this procedure, please familiarize yourself with
the “Patient Positioning Procedure” and the “Operation Section”.
In preparation for an echocardiography study, and before you
work with any patient, lower the Sonographer’s Entry Drop Section
and seat yourself on the table, facing the head of the bed and per­pendicular to where the patient will be located. Place your ultra­sound unit in close proximity to where you are seated to minimize
the reach from the table to the ultrasound unit. For maximum com­fort, it is important that you be able to maintain an upright position
while you are operating both the controls on your ultrasound unit
and the transducer. With your equipment in the proper place, you
are ready to begin working with a patient.

(continued)

I - 8

Sonographer Positioning Procedure (cont.)

Step

Action

1 Prior to beginning an echo procedure, familiarize

the patient with the Echo™Bed Dual. Explain to
him/her that you will be opening the drop sections,
that their opening will be slightly noisy, but the
patient will be both comfortable and secure through­out the procedure.

2 Insure the patient is in the correct left lateral decu-

bitus position. Tell the patient that you will be
opening the Sonographer’s Entry Drop Section.
While the patient will not feel anything, do not sur-

prise the patient by opening the drop section with­out warning. Open the Sonographer’s Entry Drop

Section and enter the cut-out area of the table. Seat
yourself on the table, facing the head of the bed and
perpendicular to the patient.

3 Tell the patient that you will be opening the Imaging

Window Drop Section. Again, the patient will not
feel anything, however, do not surprise the patient

by opening the drop section without warning.

Lower the Imaging Window Drop Section by acti­vating the remote release as described in the
“Remote Drop Section Operation” on page III-18.

4 You are now ready to begin imaging the patient.

Operation

Introduction

The Echo™Bed / Echo™Bed Dual is shipped assembled and
ready for use. Each function has been pre-tested to insure perfect
working order on day one. Your control wand and Echo™Bed
may not be equipped with all of the described functions. A
“Troubleshooting Guide” is included to instruct you in the event
of a malfunction.

The Echo™Bed is designed for the sonographer that sits on the
left side of the patient. This model is equipped with a single drop
section, the Imaging Window Drop Section.

The Echo™Bed Dual is designed for the sonographer that sits on
the right side of the patient and reaches over the patient to scan.
The Echo™Bed Dual is equipped with two drop sections: 1) An
Imaging Window Drop Section and 2) the Sonographer’s Entry
Drop Section.

The Sonographer's Entry Drop Section on the right of the patient
provides a place for the sonographer to sit, facing the head of the
bed and perpendicular to the patient.

This position, close to the patient, provides several advantages for
the right sided sonographer. First, the sonographer’s drop section
allows increased control of patient location and greater access to
the intercostal imaging areas. In addition, it allows the sonogra­pher to maintain a more upright position and should reduce stress
to the shoulder, back and wrist of the sonographer.

In This Section

You will be provided with a basic understanding of the operation
of the Echo™Bed. You will be instructed on the proper use of the
Echo™Bed; including

--using the hand wand

--operating the drop section & remote drop section

-- sonographers drop section extension

--care of the non-pinch flap

--caster use

--annual maintenance

Hand Wand Procedure - Memory Positioning Instructions

1 Initialize all of the actuators by running each actua-

tor (one at a time) to it’s fully retracted position.
This would be; lower the height actuator all the way
down, position the lateral tilt actuator to level and
place the bed in reverse Trendelenburg position (the
Trendelenburg actuator is fully retracted in this
position).

2 Using the buttons on the hand wand, utilizing as

many of the actuator motors as necessary but run­ning only one actuator at a time, place the bed in the
desired position for the first memory selection.
When you are satisfied with the position attained,
press and hold-down the [P 1] and [M] buttons at the
same time. An audible tone will be produced by the
actuator control box when the memory position is
stored.

Your handwand will contain appropriate functions for the bed shipped.

The drop section is designed to be opened or closed easily with one
hand. Do not place other hand within the drop section area dur-

ing operation.

Step

Action

1 To open the drop section, locate the metal handle

mounted on the bottom of the drop section at the
front edge. (See Figure 6)

2 Pulling the handle outward, from under the drop

section, will release the latch mechanism and allow
the drop section to swing open. Do not abruptly

yank or jerk on handle, it is designed to work with a
smooth, steady pull.

3 To close the drop section, grasp the pull tab (fabric

loop) located on the front edge of the drop section
and lift the drop section smoothly until it is secure­ly in the full, upright and locked position. (See
Figure 7)

4 It is not necessary to "slam" the drop section closed.

Slamming the drop section closed will startle the
patient and may result in damage to the mechanism.

Dual Drop Sections

The Imaging Window Drop Section and the Sonographer’s Dual
Entry Drop Section are designed to be opened or closed easily with
one hand. The Imaging Window Drop Section may also be opened
remotely by using the remote release handle conveniently located
adjacent to the Sonographer’s Dual Entry Drop Section. The
Sonographer’s Dual Entry Drop Section also functions as a back
support for the patient. Follow Steps 1 and 2 for manual operation
of either drop section, proceed to Step 3 for remote operation of the
Imaging Window Drop Section and proceed to the “Dual Drop
Section Patient Support” section for instructions on positioning the
Drop Section in upright positions. Do not place hands within the

drop section area during operation.

Step

Action

1 To open the drop section, locate the handle mount-

ed on the bottom of the drop section at the front
edge. (See Figure 8)

2 Pulling the handle outward, from under the drop

section, will release the latch mechanism and allow
the drop section to swing open. Do not abruptly

Section.

Step Action
3 To use the remote release, position the patient in left

lateral decubitus position, pull out on the lever handle
far enough to allow the Imaging Window Drop Section
to open. You can accomplish this step while seated.
(See Figure 9)

4 To close either of the drop sections, grasp the pull-tab

(fabric loop), located on the front of the each Drop
Section and lift the Drop Section smoothly until it is
securely in the full, upright and locked position. (See
Figure 10)

5 It is not necessary to “slam” the drop section closed.

Slamming the Imaging Drop Section closed will startle
the patient and may result in damage to the mechanism.
Slamming the Sonographers Drop Section will cause it
to over travel the latches. After closing the Imaging
Drop Section, always lift up to assure that it is totally
locked before patient or personal entry or exit.

6 The drop section latches are adjustable. In order for the

Imaging Window Drop Section and the Sonographer’s
Entry Dual Drop Section to continue to operate cor­rectly, you must inspect annually.

Dual Drop Section Patient Support

The Sonographer’s Dual Entry Drop Section may be lowered (as previously described), enabling
correct posture for the right handed Sonographer or raised to provide support and proper position­ing for the patient. When raised the Drop Section may be locked into one of two different posi­tions. To raise and return to level, please perform the following:

Step

Action

1 Lift the Drop Section until it engages in the first locked

position. If a steeper angle is desired, momentarily pull
out on the Drop Section mechanism release handle at
the front edge of the drop section (the same handle you
use to lower the drop section) and pull the Drop Section
until it engages the second locked position.

2 To lower the Drop Section back to level, pull out on the

Drop Section mechanism release handle at the front
edge of the drop section (the same handle) and let the
Drop Section down until it engages the mechanism
receivers.

Non-Pinch Closure

The Non-Pinch Closure Flaps, located at the back edge of both the
Imaging Window Drop Section, and the Sonographer’s Entry Drop
Section prevent the patient from being pinched when either drop
section is closed after imaging.

Examine the Non-Pinch Closure Flap with the drop section open
and closed. The flap attaches to the bed surface with hook and loop
tape that has been permanently attached to the surface.

The drop section should not be operated without the non-pinch clo­sure flap in place.

The flap is attached to the bed with Velcro tape and can easily be
adjusted whenever necessary. (See Figure 12)

Occasionally the flap may become bent or creased. When that
occurs, remove the flap from the bed surface by separating the
Velcro tapes. Next, return the flap back to original shape by bend­ing it farther in the opposite direction of the bend or crease and
allowing it to spring back to flat.

Should the flap require replacement, you may order one through
Medical Positioning, Inc. at 1-800-593-ECHO (3246).

I - 21

Remote Release Maintenance Procedure (cont.)

The following may help you determine whether you need to tighten the cable or loosen the
cable.

Tighten the cable: When opening the imaging window using the
remote release, the drop section does not respond properly. In this
event, follow steps 1, 2, and 4.

Loosen the cable: When closing the drop section after use, one or
both sides of the drop section do not fully engage or latch securely.
In this event, follow steps 1, 3, and 4.

Step

Action

1 Locate and loosen the Phillips Head screw that

holds the mounting tab in place. (See Figure 17)

2 To tighten the cable, (take up the slack in the cable

) slide the mounting tab towards the center of the

All Ways™Echo™Bed (3 Drop Sections)

In addition to single and dual drop section operation previously described, the All Ways™Echo™
Bed incorporates a third drop section and a pivotal devise allowing both right and left handed
sonographers to use the bed with little or no repositioning of the ultrasound equipment.

In This Section

You will be instructed on how to engage and disengage the pivotal mechanism and available
bed/sonographer position options.

Pivotal Mechanism

The pivotal mechanism is located next to the pedestal column of the bed.

Step

Action

1 Before engaging the mechanism, place the bed and

the ultrasound equipment in position for either left
or right handed sonography.

2 When positioned, engage by placing your foot on

the flat metal plate in the center of the pivotal mech­anism and step down firmly. (See Figure 20)

3 To disengage, place your foot on either of the round

brackets projecting form the sides of the center, flat
plate and step down.

To engage, place foot
on flat metal plate and

All Ways™Echo™Bed Use

The patented 3 drop section and pivotal mechanism design of the All
Ways™Echo™Bed allows utilization of ultrasound equipment and
examination rooms by both left and right handed sonographers with a
minimum of equipment repositioning. See below for recommended
techniques.

Bed Rotation

This technique allows you to leave the ultra-sound equipment in a sin­gular position and rotate the bet to achieve sonographer access.

When the bed has been positioned for right or left handed orientation
and you desire to change to the opposite orientation:

Step

Action

1 Engage the pivotal mechanism as described in the

previous section.

2 Unlock the brakes on ALL 4 CASTERS.

3 Rotate the end of the bed closest to the
ultrasound machine away from the ultra­sound machine. The bed will rotate around
the pivotal mechanism until the opposite end
of the bed arrives next to the ultrasound
machine.(See Figure 21)

4. Lock the brakes on ALL 4 CASTERS

Cleaning Instructions

Please note that substances such as imaging gels and alcohol will not damage the vinyl sur­face when immediately removed. Studies have shown that exposure for longer than a few
minutes can damage the top coat and will eventually discolor vinyl.

The painted metal and plastic surfaces can be cleaned with nor­mal cleaners and disinfectant.

Step

Action

1 Clean and/or disinfect with liquid cleaner of choice

being careful to follow label instructions provided
with cleaner. (Always test a small area first to deter­mine suitability of solution.)

2 Wipe the surface clean with a wet cloth after apply-

ing cleaners and disinfectant to remove excess
residue build-up.

ALWAYS READ MANUFACTURERS INSTRUCTIONS AND
WARNINGS BEFORE USING ANY CLEANING PRODUCT OR
DISINFECTANT.

The vinyl upholstered surfaces can be cleaned in one of the fol­lowing ways:

Step

Action

1 When caught quickly, most everyday stains like

grease, blood and black felt tip pens can be wiped
right off. Use mild soap and water. For more stub­born stains, a variety of concentrated and solvent
type cleansers may be used without damaging the
surface (including alcohol, naphtha and bleach), as
long as they are thoroughly rinsed off with water.
(Abrasive household cleaners and steel wool should
be avoided - see the guide for complete care and
cleaning procedures.)

2 Everyday soil can usually be removed using a soft

cloth or sponge with mild soap and water. Spills
and accidents require immediate attention for best
results. In many cases, stains may be cleaned sim­ply with warm water alone. If the stain is allowed to
set, more concentrated cleaners may be required.

I - 27

Cleaning Instructions (cont.)

The following guide covers many of the most common staining agents. During independent
laboratory testing, many were allowed to stand for up to 40 hours with excellent cleaning
results.

Generally speaking, always start with the mildest cleaning agents first. Never use harsh pow­dered abrasive cleansers or steel wool. Products containing bleach, ammonia or alcohol

(Lysol

TM

) should be wiped from the surface with a wet cloth after use. Residue from these prod-

ucts will damage vinyl surfaces.

Step Action
1 Remove excess spill with damp cloth. Clean with

1:1 mix of Ivory™soap and water. Rinse with clean
water and dry.

2 Use straight application of concentrated cleaners

such as Formula 409™or Fantastik™Spray
Cleaner. Then wipe with clean cloth.

3 Use a 1:1 mix of ammonia and water or a 1:4 mix of

bleach and water. Rinse with clean water and dry.

4 Use straight application of naphtha (lighter fluid).

Rinse thoroughly with clean water and pat surface
dry. (see note below)

5 Use 1:1 mix of isopropyl alcohol and water. If stain

persists, use straight alcohol. Rinse thoroughly with
clean water pat surface dry. If stains remain, use a
