IMPORTANT SAFETY AND WARNING INFORMATION
!
This product is a variable height, adjustable mattress
platform. The expected service life of this product is
fteen years. Beds manufactured by Basic American
Medical Products are designed for use within an
institutional healthcare environment (i.e. assisted
living, skilled nursing, transitional care, rehabilitation
care, Environment (3), as dened in IEC60601-2-52
Safety Standard.).
!
The maximum safe working load for the Matrix series
bed, including bedding, resident / patient, support
surface, and accessories, is 450 lb (204.1 kg), with
weight evenly distributed, and maximum patient
weight is 400 lb (181.4 kg). Accessory weights follow:
!
The bed’s Hand Control Pendant Cable MUST BE
ROUTED AND SECURED PROPERLY to ensure
it does not become entangled and eventually severed
during use. Also ensure electrical cords DO NOT
get tangled around the bed, side rails, or legs during
transport or normal operation of the bed.
!
When using nasal-type or masked-type administering
equipment, all oxygen or air tubing MUST BE
ROUTED AND SECURED PROPERLY to ensure
the tubing does not become entangled and eventually
severed during the normal operation of the bed.
!
Keep all moving parts free of obstructions (i.e.
blankets / sheets, heating blankets / pads, wiring, etc.).
!
DO NOT use the assist devices as push handles for
moving the bed. Assist devices can be deformed or
broken if excessive side pressure is exerted. Assist
devices are not meant for patients considered high
risks for entrapment (i.e. patients with pre-existing
conditions such as confusion, restlessness, lack of
muscle control, altered mental status, either organic
or medicinal, or a combination thereof). Additional
safety measures should be considered for such high-
risk patients.
!
NEVER permit more than one person on / in the bed
at any time.
!
Body weight should be evenly distributed over the
sleeping surface of the bed. DO NOT allow the
patient to lie, sit, or lean in such a way that their
entire body weight is placed only on the raised head
or foot section of the bed. This especially applies
when repositioning or transferring a patient in or
out of the bed. Increased risk may occur when the
patient’s size and / or weight are inappropriate for the
bed’s dimensions or weight capacity.
!
Risk of entanglement or injury may occur if the
mattress used with mattress retainers does not ll the
entire width between stops or which compresses to
less than 1.50 inches under user’s weight.
!
Mattress must be properly sized to t the mattress
support platform and must remain centered on
the support platform relative to State and Federal
guidelines. Recommended minimum dimensions of
mattress are 35-36 inches wide and 6 inches deep.
Length and width should match the mattress support
platform. Use of an improperly tted mattress could
result in injury or death. Standard mattresses are 35
inches wide and 6 inches deep, and wide mattresses
are 42 inches wide and 6 inches deep.
ACCESSORY DESCRIPTION WEIGHT

unauthorized personnel perform work on these
components, the manufacturer’s warranty becomes
void.
!
DO NOT use unauthorized parts, accessories, or
adapters other than those specied / authorized by GF
Health Products, Inc.
!
When operating the HI/LO, Knee, or Back Functions
of the bed, ALWAYS ensure the conned individual
is positioned properly within the connes of the
bed. DO NOT let any extremities protrude over the
side or between the bed rails when performing these
functions.
!
The bed should be lowered to lowest position when
resident is left unattended. DO NOT lower the bed
when objects are beneath it. Failure to inspect under
the bed can result in personal injury or property
damage.

IMPORTANT SAFETY AND WARNING INFORMATION
!
IMPORTANT: Powered air mattress surfaces may
pose a risk of entrapment. Prior to use, ensure the
therapeutic benets outweigh the risk of entrapment.
!
The bed is intended for use within a temperature
range of 10˚C to 40˚C. It has a water resistance
rating of IPX4 and IS NOT to be power washed or
submerged. The bed may be cleaned as needed using
an appropriate dilution of mild soap and water.
!
The head / back and knee / foot decks can be lifted
freely by hand for easy cleaning access when patients
are not in the bed. If you lift the head / back or knee
/ foot deck for any reason, take great care when
lowering back down to the prone position - ensure
all body parts are clear of the space between the
deck and the bed prior to slowly lowering any deck
manually. To avoid injury, DO NOT LET DECKS
FALL FREELY FROM ANY ANGLE.
!
Notice for California Customers - California
Proposition 65 WARNING: This product contains a
chemical known to the State of California to cause
cancer and reproductive or developmental harm.
!
WARNING: ALWAYS position bed so that the power
cord and plug are easily accessed.
!
Proper routing and tie-off of electrical cabling,
especially the power cord, is essential for proper
operation and to ensure safety from electrical shock.
In the event you are replacing any electrical cabling
on your bed, you must ensure the cables are free
from pinch points, obstructions, or stretched so tight
that they may come loose or become damaged. In
addition, cables should be tied off in such a way to
secure them and keep them free from tangling on
any part of the bed during normal operation. Refer to
pages 27 and 28 for proper cable routing.
ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (EMC) INFORMATION
!
WARNING: Medical Electrical Equipment needs
special precautions regarding EMC and needs to be

!
IF RFI causes erratic behavior, unplug the
electric bed immediately. Leave unplugged while
transmission is in progress.
!
WARNING: The use of accessories, tranducers,
and cables other than those specied by the
manufacturer may result in increased emissions or
decreased immunity of the bed. GF Health cables
and accessories include motor cables, mains cable,
pendant cables, back up battery and cable, USB port
cable and UBL and cable.
!
WARNING: This bed should not be used adjacent
to or stacked with other equipment. If adjacent or
stacked use with other equipment is necessary, this
bed and the other equipment should be observed to
verify that they are operating normally.
!
WARNING: The EMISSIONS characteristics of
this equipment make it suitable for use in industrial
areas and hospitals (CISPR 11 class A). If it is used
in a residential environment (for which CISPR 11
class B is usually required) this equipment might
not offer adequate protection to radio frequency
communication services. The user might need to
take mitigation measures, such as relocating or re-
orienting the equipment.

ENTRAPMENT AND COMPLIANCE INFORMATION
On April 10, 2006, the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug
Administration) released long-awaited guidelines for reducing
the risk of bed entrapment: “Hospital Bed System Dimensional
and Assessment Guidance to Reduce Entrapment”. The new
Guidance identies potential entrapment areas and those
body parts most at risk for entrapment; provides design
criteria for manufacturers of new hospital/convalescent beds;
recommends particular test methods to assess the conformance
of existing hospital / convalescent bed systems; and answers
frequently-asked questions about entrapment issues.
The new Guidance was a result of a long-standing
collaboration between the FDA and the Hospital Bed Safety
Workgroup (HBSW), formed in 1999. GF Health Products,
Inc.’s Long Term Care Bed division: Basic American Medical
Products, is an HBSW charter member. As a result of our
commitment to product safety, all our current long-term
care beds have been strictly tested and conform to the new
FDA Guidance.
The guidelines set forth by the FDA Guidance lay out specic
dimensional limitations on potentially injury-threatening gaps
and spaces that can occur between bed system components,
such as rails, when not properly installed. GF Health Products,
Inc. and Basic American Medical Products have conformed
to these guidelines from a manufacturing aspect. However,
entrapment issues can often arise when a healthcare provider /
facility has not correctly assembled the components on a bed.
It is essential that the provider / facility fully understand their
responsibility in complying to the guidelines set forth by the
FDA in order to avoid injury. To that end, we have provided
the FDA’s web address at right as a resource for understanding
and following these guidelines for the safety of patients /
residents.
It is also essential to have the correct bed components /
accessories that correspond with the needs of the patient /
resident and the particular bed you have purchased. Matching
the correct bed component that correlates with the regulatory
guidelines can be a daunting task. Our sales team at GF
Health Products, Inc. and our friendly Customer Service
Representatives at Basic American Medical Products can help
you sift through the wide array of compliance and bed options.
We will help you determine which bed / bed part is best for the
patient’s / resident’s particular needs and help you with any
compliance issues.
The MATRIX series bed and accessories listed in these
instructions are in full compliance with FDA guidelines
for reducing the risk of bed entrapment: “Hospital Bed
System Dimensional and Assessment Guidance to Reduce
Entrapment”.

STANDARD MATTRESS RETAINER INSTALLATION
USING 35" OR 42" WIDTH MATTRESS RETAINER
The Matrix Series Bed mattress retainer was designed to span the width of the sleeping surface.
One retainer is shipped with the Matrix 4000 and will t on the Foot End as shown (Note: An optional retainer can be
ordered separately for the head end of the Matrix 4000 Series beds).
Two retainers, one for each end, are shipped with the Matrix 5000 / 6000.
1. Determine if you need to position your bed in an 80" or 76" conguration (80" length bed = outside holes; 76" length
bed = inside holes).
2. Carefully squeeze the Mattress Retainer ends inward, toward the center of the retainer, and insert the ends into the
proper holes. Lay the Mattress Retainer down so that the elbows rest on the decks and the long cross rod faces away
from the bed as shown.
IMPORTANT: Ensure all three adjustable parts are properly positioned for 76" or 80" congurations
(see pages 10, 11, 12, 13 and 15).
!
Be sure to use a mattress that is properly sized to t
the sleep deck, which will remain centered on the
deck relative to State and Federal Guidelines. Use of
an improperly tted mattress could result in injury or
death.
!
Use a properly sized mattress in order to minimize
the gap between the side of the mattress and assist
devices. This gap must be small enough to prevent
resident / patient from getting their head or neck
caught in this location.

WALLSAVER POSITIONS
There are two positions for the Matrix series wallsaver. Holes nearest the center of the bed are for both 76" and 80" beds,
and the holes closest to the head end are for use when a Trapeze Adapter is added to the bed.
The Standard Wallsaver will prevent the bed from making contact with the wall in all positions except Trendelenburg. If the
Advanced Positioning (APS) bed is to be used in Trendelenburg position, the Trendelenburg Wallsaver must be used to
prevent the bed from making contact with the wall.
A Trendelenburg Wallsaver is available when the bed is ordered with a Staff Control with Advanced Positioning.
