1.4 SAFETY TIPS AND GUIDELINES

Before operating the , it is important to read and understand all information in this manual.
Carefully read and strictly follow the safety guidelines listed below.

It is important that all users have been trained and educated on the inherent hazards associated with
the usage of electric beds.

• The is not intended for pediatric use.

• The mattress thickness should not exceed 6.25" (15.9 cm).

• This bed is equipped with a hospital grade plug for protection against shock hazard. It must be

plugged directly into a properly grounded receptacle. Grounding reliability can be achieved only
when a hospital grade receptacle is used.

• Serious injury can result if caution is not used when operating the bed. Operate the bed only
when all people and equipment are clear of the electrical and mechanical systems.

• Always apply the brakes when a patient is on the bed (except during transport). Serious injury
could result if the bed moves while a patient is getting on or off the bed. After the brake pedal is
engaged, push on the bed to ensure the brakes are securely locked.

• To help reduce the number and severity of falls by patients, always leave the bed in the lowest
position when the patient is unattended.

• Leave the siderails fully up and locked when the patient is unattended. When raising the
siderails, be sure that you hear the click that signals the up and locked condition. Pull firmly on
the siderail to ensure it is locked into position.

• Keep siderails in the fully raised position and the sleep surface horizontal in its lowest position
when the patient is sleeping unless the patient's medical conditions dictates otherwise.

• When the sleep surface sections are articulated, ensure that all patient's extremities are within
the raised siderails to avoid patient injury.

GOBED+ Operations Manual

• Siderails, with or without their padded covers or nets, are not intended to serve as restraint
devices to keep patient from exiting the bed. Siderails are designed to keep a patient from
inadvertently rolling off the bed. It is the responsibility of the attending medical personnel to
determine the degree of restraint necessary to ensure a patient will remain safely in bed. Failure
to utilize the siderails properly could result in serious patient injury.

• To reduce risk of injury, ensure the sleep surface is horizontal and in the lowest position with the
siderails fully raised and locked when moving the bed with a patient in it.

• To avoid injury to the patient and/or user, do not attempt to move the bed laterally with the steer
pedal engaged. The fifth steer wheel cannot swivel.

• When a patient's condition requires greater safety measures for his/her security, use the lockout
switches in the foot board control panel to inhibit the siderail functions or remove any optional
pendant control and install protective pads on the siderails.

• The instant CPR release is for emergency use only. When activating the CPR release handle, all
people and equipment must be removed from the area below and around the head, thigh and
foot sections of the bed or serious personal injury or equipment damage could occur.

• Possible fire hazard exists when this bed is used with oxygen administering equipment other
than nasal, mask type or half bed-length tent type. It is recommended to unplug the bed power
cord from the wall when oxygen-administering equipment is used. When using a half bed-length
tent type, ensure the siderails are outside the oxygen tent and oxygen tent should not extend
below the mattress support level.

• The Weigh system is intended to assist in the monitoring of the patient's weight variation. Under
no circumstances should its reading be used as sole reference for medical treatment.

• The Bed Exit system is intended only to aid in the detection of a patient exiting the bed. It is not
intended to replace patient monitoring protocol. The Bed Exit system signals when a patient is
about to exit the bed. Adding or removing objects from the bed after having armed the Bed Exit
system may cause a reduction in the sensitivity of the Bed Exit system, resulting in erroneous
readings of the patient's movements in the bed.

• The Bed Exit system is not designed to be used with patients weighing less than 50 lb (23 kg).

• When large fluid spills occur in the area of the circuit board, cables and motors, immediately

unplug the bed power cord from the wall outlet. Remove the patient from the bed and clean up
the fluid. Have maintenance completely check the bed. Fluids can have an adverse effect on
operational capabilities of any electrical product. DO NOT put the bed back into service until it is
completely dried and has been thoroughly tested for safe operation.

• Do not steam clean, hose off or ultrasonically clean the bed. Do not immerse any part of the bed.
The internal electrical parts may be damaged by exposure to water. Hand wash regularly all
surfaces of the bed with warm water and a mild detergent. Wipe cleaned surfaces dry to avoid
build up of cleaning substance. Inspect the mattress after each use. Discontinue use if any
cracks or rips are found in the mattress cover, which may allow fluid to enter the mattress.
Failure to properly clean the mattress, or dispose of it if defective, may increase the risk of
exposure to pathogenic substances and may bring about diseases to the patient and user.

• Preventive maintenance should be performed at least once a year to ensure all bed features are
functioning properly. Ensure that any bed malfunction is promptly reported to service personnel
for immediate attention.

• Always unplug the bed power cord from the wall outlet when servicing or cleaning the bed. When
working under the bed with the bed in the high position, always place blocks under the mattress
support frame and apply the brakes to prevent injury in case the Bed Down switch is accidentally
pressed.

• To avoid damage to the siderail mechanisms, do not move the bed using the raised siderails.
Use the push/pull handles integrated to the boards to move the bed.

• Before using the optional manual crank during a power failure, always unplug the power cord. An
unexpected return of power could rotate the handle and cause injury.

• When servicing use only identical replacement parts provided by Stryker Bertec.

NOTE

Throughout this operations manual, the words “right” and “left” refer to the right and left sides of a
patient lying face up on the bed.
