GENERAL WARNINGS
The following warnings should be considered prior to using this product:
Prior to activating any positioning function assess the security
of all patient support lines and tubes to accommodate the
desired angle of articulation and minimize the risk of binding,
disconnecting or dislodging. Tubes and lines should always have
sufcient slack for articulation and patient movement.
Before patient transfer to or from the Citadel Bed Frame System,
all brakes should be engaged.
Always unplug the Citadel Bed Frame System from wall outlet
before cleaning. Failure to do so could result in equipment
damage and / or electric shock.
Assembly, operations, extensions, re-adjustments, modications,
technical maintenance or repairs must be performed by qualied
personnel authorized by ArjoHuntleigh. Contact ArjoHuntleigh for
information regarding maintenance and repair.
All accessories added to the system reduce the safe working
load of the frame by the same amount.
If the power supply cord or plug is damaged, the cord must be
replaced.
Make sure the power supply cord is not stretched, kinked or
crushed.
Make sure the power supply cord does not become entangled
with moving parts of the bed or trapped between the bed frame
and head board.
Presets are provided for reference only. Individual patient
needs should be assessed and the pressure settings should be
adjusted to meet each patient’s individual needs.
Monitor patient airway and position during ination / deation
of mattress. Ensure patient and any patient support lines are
properly supported at all times.
Rotation therapies are not available when fowler angle is above
30˚ or any side rail is down. It is recommended that turning only
be initiated when bed is level and thigh and calf sections are
down.
Do not allow uid to penetrate the Citadel Patient Therapy
System control panels.

Safety Information
General Protocols – Follow all applicable safety rules and institution
protocols concerning patient and caregiver safety.
Brakes – Set all caster brakes before transferring patient.
Bed Height – To minimize risk of falls or injury, the bed should always be in
the lowest practical position when the patient is unattended.
Fluids – Avoid spilling uids on unit controls. If spills do occur, unplug unit,
clean uid from unit, wearing rubber gloves to avoid any possibility of shock.
Once uid is removed, check operation of components in area of spill.
Fluids remaining on controls can cause corrosion, which
may cause components to fail or to operate erratically,
possibly producing hazards for patient and staff.
Oxygen Use - Ensure that the unit is not contained in an oxygen
enriched environment. Possible re hazard when bed is used with oxygen
administering equipment other than the nasal prongs, mask or half bed
length tent type. Oxygen tent should not extend below mattress support level.
Lock-Outs – Lock-outs for air mattress system functions should be used at
staff’s discretion to ensure against unintentional operation of Citadel Patient
Therapy System.
Disposal – At the end of useful life, dispose of waste according to local
requirements or contact the manufacturer for advice. There may be special
requirements for disposal of batteries, leaded foam and / or angle sensors (if
present in this product). Improper disposal of any component may result in
regulatory non-compliance.
Moving Parts - Keep all equipment, tubes and lines, loose clothing, hair and
parts of the body away from moving parts and pinch points.
Patient Entrance / Exit – Caregiver should always aid patient in exiting the
bed. Make sure a capable patient knows how to get out of bed safely (and, if
necessary, how to release the side rails) in case of re or other emergency.
Side Rails / Patient Restraints - Whether and how to use side rails or
restraints is a decision that should be based on each patient’s needs and
should be made by the patient and the patient’s family, physician and
caregivers, with facility protocols in mind. Caregivers should assess risks and
benets of side rail / restraint use (including entrapment and patient falls from
bed) in conjunction with individual patient needs, and should discuss use or
non-use with patient and / or family. Consider not only the clinical and other
needs of the patient but also the risks of fatal or serious injury from falling
out of bed and from patient entrapment in or around the side rails, restraints
or other accessories. In the US, for a description of entrapment hazards,
vulnerable patient prole and guidance to further reduce entrapment risks,
refer to FDA’s Hospital Bed System Dimensional and Assessment Guidance
To Reduce Entrapment. Outside the US, consult the local Competent
Authority or Government Agency for Medical Device Safety for specic local

guidance. Consult a caregiver and carefully consider the use of bolsters,
positioning aids or oor pads, especially with confused, restless or agitated
patients. It is recommended that side rails (if used) be locked in the full
upright position when the patient is unattended. Make sure a capable patient
knows how to get out of bed safely (and, if necessary, how to release the
side rails) in case of re or other emergency. Monitor patients frequently to
guard against patient entrapment.
Skin Care – Monitor skin conditions regularly and consider adjunct or
alternative therapies for high acuity patients. Give extra attention to skin
over any raised side bolster and to any other possible pressure points
and locations where moisture or incontinence may occur or collect. Early
intervention may be essential to preventing skin breakdown.
Maximum Recommended Patient Weight - Total patient weight capacity
should not exceed 227 kg (500 lb). The use of accessories on the bed may
decrease the patient weight capacity of the bed. Contact ArjoHuntleigh
Customer Service for questions concerning the use of accessories and see
the Questions and Information section of this guide for contact information.
I.V. and Drainage Tubes – Prior to activating any positioning or rotation
function assess the security of all invasive lines and tubes to accommodate
the desired angle of articulation and minimize the risk of binding,
disconnecting or dislodging. Tubes and lines should always have sufcient
slack for articulation and patient movement.
Turning - CAUTION: Prior to engaging any mattress turn feature, ensure that
all side rails are fully engaged in their full upright and locked position.
