Safety Tips and Guidelines
Safety Tips and Guidelines
Before operating the Epic II® Critical Care Beds, it is important to read and understand all information in this manual.
Carefully read and strictly follow the safety tips and guidelines listed in this manual.
To ensure safe operation of the bed, methods and procedures must be established for educating and training hospital
staff on the intrinsic risks associated with the usage of electric beds.
WARNING
• When the bed is unplugged, secure the power cord around the head end of the bed to prevent possible fraying of
the power cord due to crushing of the cable between moveable parts, which could result in the risk of electrical
shock.
• The Epic II® Critical Care Bed is equipped with a hospital grade plug for protection against shock hazard. It must
be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong 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 bed only when all persons are
clear of the electrical and mechanical systems.
• To help reduce the number and severity of falls by patients, always leave the bed in the lowest position when the
patient is unattended.
• Always apply the caster brakes when a patient is getting on or off the bed. Always keep the caster brakes applied
when a patient is on the bed (except during transport). Serious injury could result if the bed moves while a patient
is getting in or out of bed. After the brake pedal is applied, push on the bed to ensure the brakes are locked. When
moving the bed, toggle the steer pedal to put the bed in the steer mode. This locks the swivel motion of the right
foot end caster and makes the bed easier to move.
• When raising the siderails, listen for the “click” that indicates the siderail has locked in the up position. Pull firmly
on the siderail to ensure it is locked into position. Siderails are not intended to be a patient restraint device. It is
the responsibility of attending medical personnel to determine the degree of restraint and the siderail positioning
necessary to ensure a patient will remain safely in bed.
• Ensure the brakes are completely released prior to attempting to move the bed. Attempting to move the bed with
the brakes actuated could result in injury to the user and/or patient.
• Assistance is required to lower the Back if the angle of the Back is greater than 80° when the CPR emergency
release is activated. Attempting to lower the Back in this position without assistance may result in injury to the
operator.
• Always unplug bed during service or cleaning. When working under the bed, always place blocks under the litter
frame to prevent injury in case the Bed Down switch is accidently activated.
• Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
• The Epic II® Critical Care Bed is not intended for pediatric use or for patients under 50 pounds.
• Explosion Hazard - do not use bed in the presence of flammable anesthetics.
• To avoid entanglement, possibly resulting in frayed power cords and risk of electrical shock, wrap the bed power
cord around the head board of the bed during transport.
• Service only by qualified personnel. Refer to the maintenance manual. Verify the power cord is unplugged before
servicing.
• When using any mattress and/or mattress overlay that increases the overall height greater than 6" extra caution
and or operator supervision is required to help reduce the likelihood of a patient fall occurring.
• Trendelenburg is not easily achievable when mains voltage has been interrupted.
• When a Patient’s condition (such as disorientation due to medication or clinical condition) could lead to patient
entrapment, the mattress support platform should be left in the flat position while the patient is unattended (except
when required otherwise by medical staff for special or particular circumstances).

Safety Tips and Guidelines
WARNING (CONTINUED)
To avoid possible injury and to assure proper operation when using model number 2750, 2920, 2950 or 2981 mattress:
• Confirm proper scale system operation following mattress installation. For best results, secure the therapy mattress
power cord to prevent damage to the cord or interference with the bed frame and the scale system.
• Do not zero bed scales or weigh patient with Percussion, Vibration, Rotation or Turn Assist active. Patient motion
and position resulting from the dynamic therapy mattress may adversely affect scale system performance.
• Do no initialize (“arm”) bed exit with Percussion, Vibration, Rotation or Turn Assist active. The patient motion and
position resulting from the dynamic therapy mattress may adversely affect bed exit system performance.
• When using an XPRT (2950), Position PRO (2920), Impression (2981) or Symmetric Aire (2750) mattress, extra
caution and/or operator supervision is required to help reduce the likelihood of a patient fall occurring.
CAUTION
• The lockout buttons on the foot board lock the Fowler, Gatch and Bed Up/Down functions and prevent motion of
the bed. It is the responsibility of attending medical personnel to determine whether these functions should be
locked and to use the buttons accordingly.
• Because individual beds may have different options, foot boards should not be moved from one bed to another.
Mixing foot boards could result in unpredictable bed operation.
• If large fluid spills occur in the area of the circuit boards or motors, immediately unplug the bed power cord from
the wall socket. Remove the patient from the bed and clean up the fluid. Have maintenance completely check the
bed. Fluids can short out controls and may cause the bed to operate erratically or make some functions completely
inoperable. Component failure caused by fluids could even cause the bed to operate unpredictably and could
cause injury to the patient. DO NOT put the bed back into service until it is completely dry and has been thoroughly
tested for safe operation.
• Preventative maintenance should be performed at a minimum of annually to ensure all features are functioning as
designed. Close attention should be given to safety features including, but not limited to:
• Safety side latching mechanisms Caster braking systems
• Leakage current 300 microamps max. No controls or cabling entangled in bed mechanisms
• Frayed electrical cords and components All controls return to off or neutral position when released
• The siderails are not intended to be used as a pushing device. Damage to the siderails could occur.
• The use of a mattress overlay may reduce the effectiveness of the siderail.
• When attaching equipment to the bed, ensure it will not impede normal bed operation or patient injury could occur.
For example: hooks on hanging equipment must not actuate control buttons, equipment must not hide the nurse
call button, etc.
• The weight of the IV bags should not exceed 40 pounds.
• Do not add or remove weight when the bed exit system is armed.
• The cleanliness and integrity of both ground chains must be maintained to minimize static build up and
discharge.
• IV Poles should not be used as a bed push/pull device.
• The safe working load of the defibrillator tray is 40 lbs.
• The safe working load of the oxygen bottle holder is 45 lbs.
• The safe working load of the pump rack holder is 45 lbs.

Base Operation Guide
Brake Pedal Operation
WARNING
Always apply the caster brakes when a patient is getting on or off the bed. Push on the bed to ensure the brakes are
securely locked. Always engage the brakes unless the bed is being moved. Injury could result if the bed moves while
a patient is getting on or off the bed.
Ensure the brakes are completely released prior to attempting to move the bed. Attempting to move the bed with the
brakes actuated could result in injury to the user and/or patient.
To activate the brakes, push down once on one of the pedals located at the midpoint of the bed on both sides (identified
by the label at right). The pedal will remain in the lowered position, indicating the brakes are engaged. To disengage
the brakes, push down once and the pedal will return to the upper position.
NOTE
There are LED lights on the outside of the head end siderails
that will blink when the brakes are not engaged only if the bed is
plugged into a wall socket. The brakes will still operate properly
when the bed is not plugged in.
Steer Pedal Operation
The purpose of the steer caster is to help guide the bed along a straight line and to help with pivoting at corners when
the bed is moved.
To activate the steer caster, move the pedal located at the head end of the bed to your left as shown on the label.
NOTE
For proper “tracking” of the steer caster, push the bed
approximately 10 fe et to allow the wheels to face the direction
of travel before engaging the steer pedal. If this is not done,
proper “tracking” will not occur and the bed will be difficult
to steer.
WARNING
To avoid entanglement, possibly resulting in frayed power cords and risk of electrical shock, wrap the bed power cord
around the head board of the bed during transport.

Siderail Operation Guide
Positioning Siderails
NOTE
The head end siderails can be locked at two positions (intermediate & full). The foot end siderails lock in the full up
position only.
• The siderails can slide to the side of the bed when not in use. To remove the rail from the tucked position, grasp
the top of the rail and pull outward.
• To engage the head end siderail, grasp the rail and swing it upward to full height. When the siderail is being raised,
it does not lock in the intermediate position. To lower the siderail, push in the yellow release handle and rotate the
siderail until it locks in the intermediate position. To lower the siderail fully, push in the yellow release handle again
and rotate the siderail until it is completely lowered.
NOTE
To activate the siderail bypass mechanism, the rail must be fully lowered. If the rail is not completely lowered, the
siderail will lock in the intermediate position when it is raised. There is no intermediate level and thus no bypass function
on the foot end siderails.
• To engage the foot end siderail, the same procedure is required as for the head end siderail, however, the siderail
swings toward the foot end of the bed.
WARNING
When raising the siderails, listen for the “click” that indicates the siderail has locked in the up position. Pull firmly
on the siderail to ensure it is locked into position. Siderails are not intended to be a patient restraint device. It is the
responsibility of attending medical personnel to determine the degree of restraint and the siderail positioning necessary
to ensure a patient will remain safely in bed.
CAUTION
• The siderails are not intended to be used as a pushing device. Damage to the siderails could occur.
• The use of a mattress overlay may reduce the effectiveness of the siderail.
Siderail Control Panel Lights
• The head end siderails are equipped with lights to illuminate the siderail control buttons and the nurse call switch.
The lights are activated at the foot board control panel.
• There are three settings for the intensity of the siderail control lights: low, medium and high. When all the siderail
lights are off, push the siderail control light button on the foot board once to turn on both the control lights and the
nurse call indicator light. Push the button again to change the siderail control lights from low to medium setting,
and again to change to the high setting. (The intensity of the nurse call indicator light does not change.)
• When all the siderail lights are on, pushing the button once will turn off only the siderail control lights and pushing
it again will turn off the nurse call indicator light (see control panel guide page 23).
CAUTION
The nurse call indicator light on the siderails helps ensure the patient understands where the button is for contacting
the nurse station. Turning this light off will compromise this ability, especially in a darkened room.

Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land
mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast, and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with
accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey
should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the Epic II Critical Care Bed is used
exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the Epic II Critical Care Bed should be observed to verify normal
operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or
relocating the Epic II Critical Care Bed.
