6. ELECTRONIC CONTROLS DESCRIBED - Continued
6.4 Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)
Note: For the electronically activated emergency patient positioning function, it is NOT
necessary to press the ‘up/down’ buttons as the operation is programmed to operate
directly from the associated button.
CAUTION
When electronic emergency patient positioning functions are activated, care should
be taken over the potential of the beds moving parts to either trap or crush the
patient, caregivers and or other equipment.
Pressing the SINGLE BUTTON PRESS button, the bed will automatically level all
positioning functions back to a flat deck position whilst lowering the bed to a safe working
height.
6.5 Emergency Trendelenburg (head down tilt) Function
Note: For the electronically activated emergency patient positioning function, it is NOT
necessary to press the ‘up/down’ buttons as the operation is programmed to operate
directly from the associated button.
Pressing the “EMERGENCY TRENDELENBURG” button will lower the head and raise
the foot of the bed to the maximum tilt of 14°, while simultaneously lowering the back rest
and knee break back to a flat deck position – NO pause if passing through horizontal.
6.6 Lock Out Functions
This facility allows users to selectively disable some of the electrical features of the bed. In
normal operation the key functions of the bed should be in an (unlocked) state of use. This
is indicated on the ACC panel by LED lights above the function buttons.
To lock and unlock each function hold the “key” or “lock” button and at the same time
press the function button that is required to be locked or unlocked. An LED light will
illuminate when the function is in the locked position.
6.7 Battery Charge Indicator - Battery Backup
LED light illuminates when the battery is in charge mode.
The battery backup system allows the electrically operated functions to be used for short
periods when the bed is disconnected from mains power. The bed switches between
mains and battery power automatically.
The battery is lead-acid and should be charged regularly and not be allowed to discharge
fully. Fully discharging the battery will cause a reduction in battery life.
To charge the battery connect the power cord to the mains supply. This should be done as
often as possible to maximise battery life. If the bed is not used for a long period of time, it
is recommended that the batteries are charged in accordance with the section on
Transportation and Storage within this manual.
