1.3 SAFETY
Warning / Caution / Note Definition
The words WARNING, CAUTION and NOTE carry special meanings and should be carefully
reviewed.
The personal safety of the patient or user may be involved. Disregarding this information could
result in injury to the patient or user.
These instructions point out special procedures or precautions that must be followed to avoid
damaging the equipment.
E
NNOOTTE
Notes provides special information to make maintenance easier or important instruction clearer.
Safety Tips and Guidelines
The following is a list of safety precautions that must be observed when operating or servicing
the GO BED. They are repeated throuhout the guide, where applicable. Carefully read and
strictly follow them before operating or servicing this unit.
• The GO BED is not intended for pediatric use.
• It is important that all users have been trained and educated on the inherent hazards
associated with the use of manual and electric beds. Bed mechanisms can cause serious
injury to the patient or user. Operate bed only when all people are clear of the mechanisms.
• 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.
• 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 disconnect the bed
in such circumstances. When using a half bed-length tent type, ensure the side-rails are
outside the oxygen tent and oxygen tent should not extend below the mattress support level.
• 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 wheels are locked.
• To help reduce the number and severity of falls by patients, always leave the bed in the
lowest position and side-rails fully up when the patient is unattended. After raising a siderail, pull firmly on the side-rail to ensure it is securely locked into position.
• Always keep side-rails in the fully raised position and the sleeping surface horizontal in its
lowest position when the patient is sleeping unless the patient's medical conditions dictates
otherwise. If the sleeping surface is not in a horizontal position and the bed is equipped with
half-length side-rails, it is strongly recommended that only the head side-rails be kept in
their highest position and the foot side-rails be stored on the side of the bed to avoid the
risks of a patient becoming caught between the two side-rail sections.

Introduction Chapter 1
CCAAUUTTIIOON
N
• Side-rails, with or without their padded covers or nets, are not intended to serve as restraint
devices to keep patient from exiting the bed. Side-rails 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 side-rails properly could result in serious patient injury.
• When a patient's condition requires greater safety measures for his security, use the lockout
switches in the foot board control panel to deactivate the side-rail or pendant control
commands and install protective pads on the side-rails.
• When the sleeping surface sections are articulated, ensure that all spaces created by the
raised side-rails are clear in order to avoid the patient's limb becoming trapped between
side-rails or between side-rails and boards.
• When moving the bed with a patient in it, ensure that the bed is in the lowest position with
side-rails fully raised and securely locked in order to reduce risks of injuries to the patient.
• Do not attempt to move the bed directly sideways with the 5th wheel activated. The 5th
wheel can not pivot. Attempting to do so may cause injury to the patient or user.
• The instant CPR release is for emergency use only. When activating the CPR release, all
people and equipment must be removed from the area below and around the head and foot
sections of the bed or serious personal injury or damage to equipment could occur.
• When large fluid spills occur in the area of the circuit board, cables and motors, immediately
unplug the bed. 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 cause injury to the patient
or user.
• Always unplug the bed power cord from the wall outlet when cleaning or servicing the bed.
When working under the bed with the bed in the high position, always place blocks under
the frame and lock the casters to prevent injury in case the Bed Down switch is accidentally
pressed.
• When using the emergency crank during a power failure, unplug the power cord from the
wall receptacle so that unexpected resumption of power will not rotate handle. Remove and
store the crank before reconnecting the bed.
• Ensure that any bed malfunction is promptly reported to service personnel for immediate
attention. Preventive maintenance should be performed periodically to ensure all bed
features are functioning properly.
• Never move the bed using the raised side-rails nor hit the side-rails against any object found
in the room, for example: other furniture, walls, door frame, etc. Damage to the equipment
could result from such actions. Use the push/pull handles integrated on the head and foot
boards to move the bed, they provide a solid grip when moving the bed.

Chapter 1 The GO BED Maintenance Manual
Static Discharge Precautions
The electronic circuits of the bed are protected from static electricity damage only while the bed
is assembled. It is extremely important that all service personnel always use adequate static
protection when servicing the electronic components of the bed.
Static Protection Equipment
The necessary equipment for a proper static protection is:
• 1 static wrist strap
• 1 grounding plug
• 1 test lead with a banana plug on one end and a alligator clip on the other.
Static Protection Procedure
1. Unplug the bed power cord from the wall receptacle.
2. Insert the grounding plug into a properly grounded hospital grade wall receptacle. Plug the
banana plug of the test lead into the receptacle on the grounding plug. Connect the alligator
clip on the other end of the test lead to a ground point on the bed.
3. Place the static control wrist strap on your wrist. Connect the clip at the other end of the
wrist strap cord to a ground point on the bed.

2. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
This section contains a recommended spare parts list as well as cleaning instructions and a
checklist to assist with the preventive maintenance and cleaning of your equipment.
In the text, the words "right" and "left" refer to the right and left sides of a patient lying face up on
the bed.
2.1 BED CLEANING AND MATTRESS CARE
Do not use harsh cleaners, solvents or detergents. Do not steam clean, hose off or
ultrasonically clean the bed. Do not immerse any part of the bed. The bed electrical parts may
be damaged by exposure to water.
Germicidal disinfectant, used as directed, and/or Chlorine Bleach products are not considered
mild detergents. These products are corrosive in nature and may cause damage to your bed if
used improperly. If these types of products are used, ensure the beds are rinsed with clean
water and thoroughly dried following cleaning. Failure to properly rinse and dry the beds will
leave a corrosive residue on the surface of the bed, possibly causing premature corrosion of
critical components. Failure to follow the above directions when using these types of cleaners
may void this product warranty.
Cleaning Beds
• Hand wash all surfaces of the bed with a soft cloth moistened with a solution of lukewarm
water and a mild detergent.
• Wipe the bed clean and dry thoroughly to avoid build up of cleaning solution.
Bed Mattress Care
Failure to properly clean mattress or dispose of them if defective will increase the risk of
exposure to pathogenic substances which may cause injury to the patient or user.
Inspection
• Implement local policies to address regular care, maintenance, and cleaning of mattresses
and covers. The cover cleaning and sterilization procedures can be found below and on the
bed label.
• Inspect mattress cover surface (also zip fasteners and cover inner surface if mattresses
have zip fasteners) regularly for signs of damage. If the mattress cover is stained, soiled, or
torn, examine the mattress, and seek instructions from the infection control nurses, as the
mattress may harbour micro-organisms. If the mattress is wet or badly stained, withdraw
the mattress from service.
• Seek the advice of infection control nurse in case of heavy soiling or infection, as general
cleaning procedures are unlikely to be adequate.
Cleaning and Sterilization
• Stains:
Wash with lukewarm water using a mild detergent. Rinse with water and let dry.
• Tough stains and sterilization:
Use bleach diluted with ten parts of water.

PC Board Integrated Maintenance Program
This bed has a PC Board equipped with a maintenance program. To activate and process the
program, perform the following steps:
• Unplug the bed power cord, remove the foot board and the foot end casing cover (see
section 4.7, step 1 through 4 and fig. 4.7A) to gain access to the PC Board.
• Move the board four dip switches to the ON position and replace temporarily the casing
cover and the foot board (do not fasten the cover to the casing for the moment).
• Plug the bed power cord and turn the main power switch on. Note that the LED of the
Trendelenburg function switch may light up, do not mind it.
• Press all function switches of the control panels (foot board and side-rails) one after the
other. The green LED of the Fowler lock-out switch will be the maintenance test indicator. It
should lit up when a function switch is pressed and go out when the same function switch is
pressed again thus indicating that the wiring and the membrane are working properly. If the
LED does not light up when a function switch is pressed, the wiring and/or the membrane
may be defective.
• After completion of the test, unplug the bed power cord, remove the foot board and the
casing cover, readjust the dip switches to their normal position (1= Off; 2= On; 3= Off; 4=
Off), fasten the cover to the foot end casing, and replace the foot board.
