2. Clinical Applications

5 AH-SO-03 08/10/2017
Safety
 Always use a mattress of the correct size and type. A range of suitable pressure
reducing and pressure relieving mattress are available from ArjoHuntleigh.
 When the bed is operated, make sure that obstacles such as bed side furniture do
not restrict movement.
 Before operating the bed, make sure the patient is positioned correctly to avoid
entrapment or imbalance.
 Always apply the brakes when the bed is stationary.
 Lower the bed to minimum height when the patient is left unattended.
 Keep these instructions handy for reference.
Brakes and Steering
Central Operation
There are two coupled brake pedals at the foot of the bed. When they are pushed down
from the horizontal free position they operate all brake castors simultaneously.
When the linked pedals are raised from the horizontal free position they engage one head-
end castor so that it cannot swivel. Push the bed in the direction of travel so that the castors
are all in-line and trailing, then lift either pedal to engage the steering castor.
For easy access of brake/steer pedals it is imperative to apply brakes before lowering the
bed to its extreme low position, and raising the bed before attempting to release the brakes
or engaging track lock (steer) so that the bed can be moved.
WARNING
Brakes should be activated at all times whilst bed is stationary.
Track lock will self-disengage when fully lowered.

damage or suspected damage in any way, immediately stop using the Handset and
perform the full Handset Checks as detailed in Section 6 –Maintenance.
Handset
Handset is accessible to either the patient or the nursing attendant. From this handset the
patient can control all bed functions as illustrated below.

9 AH-SO-03 08/10/2017
Batteries (battery back-up model only)
The emergency back-up battery automatically switches on if the bed is disconnected from the
mains power supply. The batteries will enable emergency power operation for short periods of
time. To ensure the batteries are kept fully charged the bed must be connected to the mains
power supply at all times during normal use.
Patient Transfer
If the patient is to be transferred by means of a patient hoist, the bed will need to be raised
enough to allow hoist access underneath the bed.
WARNING
Bed functions, particularly Hi-Lo are not to be used during patient transfer.

10 AH-SO-03 08/10/2017
Warning
Disconnect the bed from the mains power supply before cleaning.
Gloves and protective clothing should always be worn when carrying out
cleaning procedures.
These instructions also apply to accessories but not to mattresses.
Wipe all surfaces with a soft cloth moistened with hot water and mild detergent (or the
hospital’s recommended cleaning solution). Take extra care with areas that may harbor dirt
or dust. Rinse with clean water and dry with a paper towel.
5. Cleaning
To remove potentially infectious material such as body fluids, or even when the bed has
been used by somebody with a know infection, clean afterwards with NaDCC (e.g., Presept,
Actichlor) at 10,000 ppm of available chlorine. Rinse and dry.
Allow the cleaned parts to dry before replacing the mattress.
Caution
Do not use abrasive compounds or pads.
Do not use hypocarbonate or phenolic cleaning solutions.
6. Maintenance / Troubleshooting
The following preventative maintenance procedures should be carried out at intervals of 12
months or as specified.
All service or repair activities must only be performed by properly qualified and train
persons who are approved by ArjoHuntleigh.
Disposal of product and components should be compliant with local regulations.
Warning
Disconnect the bed from mains power supply before starting any maintenance
activity.
The bed will still operate on battery backup power if handset buttons are pressed
(battery backup model only).
Avoid skin contact with lubricants.
General
Examine the bed for obvious signs of damage. All aspects of the equipment should operate
as intended. Make sure that all nuts, bolts and other fastenings are tight and are not
missing.
Examine flexible cables for cuts, abrasions, kinking or other deterioration. Make sure that
the electrical power cable plug is not damaged. If either the plug or cable is damaged then
both the plug and cable must be replaced as a complete assembly by an approved service
agent.

11 AH-SO-03 08/10/2017
Individual Locking Castors
Routine checks should be carried out every six months on the castor assemblies checking
for looseness and general wear and tear. To do this, apply the brakes and lift the bed off
the floor. Castors should be securely fixed within the castor tubes.
If a problem is found, re-tighten the castor fixing bolts.
Castors and Brakes
Apply the brakes and push the bed forwards. If any of the three or four braking castors
rotate, the brake is not fully effective.
Check the steering lock for efficient operation (central operation only).
If either the brakes or the steering lock (central operation only) are not working as they
should, contact an approved service agent.
Batteries (Battery back-up only)
If a beeping sound is heard when operating the bed it means that the battery is at low
charge. Re-connect the bed to a mains power supply for a minimum of 24 hours so that
the batteries can recharge,
Check the battery condition every six months using the following procedure: Make sure
that the bed has been connected to the mains power supply for an uninterrupted 24 hour
period.
1. Disconnect the bed from the mains supply.
2. Apply a load of 80 kg to the mattress platform.
3. Raise and lower the mattress platform from minimum to maximum height, three
times.
4. If the bed does not operate satisfactory in step 4, perform steps 1 to 4 again.
If the bed continues to operate unsatisfactory it may indicate that the batteries need
replacing. In this situation, consult an approved service agent.
Lifting Poles
Examine the handle and strap for signs of damage, fraying or loose stitching. Replace
the strap and handle if either are faulty.

12 AH-SO-03 08/10/2017
Safety Sides (if fitted)
Raise the Safety Side to the upright position until the operating knob clicks into place at
maximum height. Refer to section 4 of this manual for Safety Side operation.
Make sure the yellow band (1) on the operating knob CANNOT be seen.
The yellow band should NEVER be visible from above when the safety side is correctly in
the locked position.
1
Safety side operation knob shown in unlocked and locked
positions
If the yellow band is visible when the Safety Sides are in a raised and “locked” position,
contact ArjoHuntleigh for service advice. See the Warranty and Service section.
Inspect Safety Sides for wear and tear on fittings including pivot joints and clamp brackets
every six months. The locking pin mechanism and striker plate should be inspected every
three months. Check for rust, structural integrity of welds and paint finish every twelve
months.
HANDSET Checks
Between each patient, ArjoHuntleigh strongly advises that the Handset is visually inspected
for obvious damage before each use if practicable and that Preventative maintenance
checks are conducted on the handset. When using a specific function staff should be aware
of, and checking for, any of the symptoms listed in point 3 below.
Preventative Maintenance Checks
ArjoHuntleigh recommends that the full check and testing regime is conducted between
each bed use or worst case during annual Preventative Maintenance. This should take no
more than one (1) minute to complete.
1. Visual inspection of handset casing
1.1 Inspect the outer plastic casing for any obvious cracks or damage.
1.2 Inspect for damage to the front cover (outer label) particularly over the buttons where
the label may be torn or indented.

13 AH-SO-03 08/10/2017
If any damage is identified while conducting checks 1.1 and 1.2, immediately
Quarantine the bed and report the damage to maintenance staff or replace the Handset.
2. Visual inspection of the cable and Cable insulation:
2.1 Inspect the cable for any nicks or cuts in the insulation
2.2 Inspect for any evidence that the cable may have been squashed or flattened.
Squashed or flattened cables may indicate a possible break in the internal conductors or
insulation causing conductors to short together which could cause unwanted movement of the
bed. Any handsets are found with obvious damage to the cable insulation, immediately report
the damage to maintenance staff or replace the Handset.
3. Tactile inspection of the buttons:
All buttons should be operated and response tested.
Depress each button on the handset. Each button should have a positive audible click that is
also felt. The function being pressed should also operate.
If the button:
 Does not have a click feel
 Does not have an audible click sound
 Does not immediately operate the function
 Feels soft offering no resistance
 Feels different to the rest of the buttons
 Travels further when depressed
Immediately quarantine the bed and report the damage to maintenance staff or replace the
Handset, otherwise contact an ArjoHuntleigh approved Technician.
