First use
Before using the bed, it is essential to have a thorough understanding of this
manual. This manual contains instructions for general use and maintenance and
guarantees improved safety. Caregivers must have access to this manual.
Training can be provided on demand.
Caregivers must be informed of the risks that may be encountered in the use of
electric beds.
The many sources and types of accessories, hardware, or medical devices that
may be used together with this bed do not enable Hill-Rom to guarantee both the
safety and conformity of all the combinations thus created. The operator who
creates these device combinations must therefore ensure that security and
conformity requirements are met.

171051(12) - Hillrom™ 900 Electric Bed Instructions for Use Page 5
Introduction
Specifications
Use of accessories, transducers and cables other than those specified or provided by
Hill-Rom could result in increased electromagnetic emissions or decreased
electromagnetic immunity of this equipment and result in improper operation.
Waste packaging (plastic, cardboard, metal, wood, etc.) must follow suitable
recovery circuits with a view to being recycled.
Before installing the bed for the first time or after bringing the bed and its
accessories out of storage:
• ensure that the bed and its various parts are at room temperature,
• only connect the bed to a mains electric power supply with earth protection
(see “Electrical safety” page 8),
• the power plug must be accessible to disconnect the bed,
• wait 12 hours until the battery is fully charged before using the bed without
the mains power supply,
• make sure that all the moving parts are in good working order,
• make sure that the bed has been cleaned and disinfected (see
“Decontamination of the bed” page 75).
Risk prevention
General recommendations
In general:
• check that nothing (e.g. objects, accessories or power cable) or any persons
(e.g. children, limbs) will interfere with the movement of the mobile parts of
the bed before actuating them. An intermittent beep sounds when one of the
bed’s movements is hindered.
• during a movement or combination of movements of a mobile part of the bed
(eg, backrest, sleep surface, siderail), be vigilant (for oneself, the patient or
any other person) on the risks of pinching or crushing between moving parts
or with a fixed part.
• always check (e.g. to and fro movements) that the various locking
mechanisms are in good working order (e.g. siderails, extensions, grip
handles, brakes).
• sufficiently qualified nursing staff determine the usage condition suitable for
the various functions and the degree of supervision to ensure that the patient
uses the bed safely.

Page 6 171051(12) - Hillrom™ 900 Electric Bed Instructions for Use
When the patient is left unattended:
•apply the brakes to prevent any risks of falling, especially if the patient leans
on the bed when getting in or out,
• leave the sleep surface in the lowest position to avoid serious consequences in
the event of falling,
• use the siderails to secure the patient and reduce the risk of falling
accidentally,
• lock any function that, if misused, could worsen existing injuries or
pathologies, or even result in bodily injury,
• never leave the bed in the Trendelenburg position.
Never modify the bed without Hill-Rom's prior written consent. Alterations could
result in injury to the patient or damage to the bed.
Only use manufacturer's parts and accessories.
Never place objects or equipment on the chassis or use it to support a person.
Do not use of the bed with loads in excess of the safe working load.
Notice to Users and/or Patients:

Any serious incident that has occurred in relation to the device, should be reported
to the manufacturer and the Competent Authority of the Member State in which the
user and/or patient is established.
Recommendations for the siderails
In the case of patients suffering from particular behavioral difficulties (e.g.,
agitation, mental confusion, loss of sense of direction, obsessive behavior, old
patients, weakness, etc.), properly trained medical staff should ascertain how the
siderails should be used (irrespective of the model or type), whether the patient
should be monitored closely or immobilized and whether the patient helpers should
be left in position, in order to ensure that patients use the bed in complete safety.
Certain national health authorities have issued guidelines risks to patients and the
reduction of these hazards, as indicated below.
It is recommended that patients at risk be identified in each establishment or ward
so that the safety measures most appropriate to their particular needs can be
implemented.
One measure which has already proved effective is to draw up a protocol
specifying:
1. situations and conditions for siderail use and authorized mattress type or
model,
2. for all patient monitoring procedures, both for restrained and unrestrained
patients, including during intervals,
3. circumstances under which patients must be restrained according to the
instructions and recommendations of the manufacturer of the said
restraining devices.

171051(12) - Hillrom™ 900 Electric Bed Instructions for Use Page 7
Introduction
Specifications
The siderails are designed to help reduce the risk of patients falling out of bed
accidentally. They are not designed to restrain or immobilize the patient. Restraining
straps or other devices must not be fastened to the half-length siderails (e.g., straps).
Recommendations for the mattresses
Hill-Rom shall not be held liable for any problems occurring if the mattress used is
not included in the list of equipment recommended by Hill-Rom (see “References
of recommended mattresses” page 27).
Despite the protective height above the mattress and the top of the siderail,
patients can still potentially fall or become trapped in the spaces around the
mattress.
Use of a mattress thicker than the thickness recommended in “References of
recommended mattresses” page 27 may reduce the effectiveness of the siderails.
Thicker mattresses can increase the risk of falling and shorter or narrower
mattresses can increase the risk of patients becoming trapped. In such cases, the
patient must be monitored closely.
As assessed by the “Hospital Bed Safety Workgroup” guide and the standard EN
60601-2-52, the mattress label on page 25
lists the mattresses recommended for
use on the Hillrom™ 900 to offer the safest conditions. The therapeutic benefits of
the other therapeutic mattresses listed in page 25 outweigh the residual risk of
entrapment or fall incurred by their use.
Other mattresses may be used, but the manufacturer must always be consulted to
make sure that the bed/mattress/siderail combination does not affect the bed's
performance, its suitability for use or its safety characteristics.
If the bed is fitted with an electrically powered air mattress, the power cord must be
routed so as to prevent it from being cut by the moving parts of the bed (refer to the
instructions of the mattress).
Users must check the compatibility of the patient's weight and the accessories placed
on the bed and the mattress system in view of the specifications of the medical bed and
the mattress system.
If the mattress power cord is unplugged, it is advisable to store it on the support
provided by the mattress supplier.
Recommendations for the function lockouts
The electrical function management control prevents any unintended bed
movements that might cause injury to the patient.
For safety reasons, it is advisable to use the lock-out functions when treating the
patient or working on the bed (e.g., examinations, transfers, maintenance), when
the patient is left unattended and when caregivers believe that the patient is not in
a fit state of health to operate the controls in safety.

Page 8 171051(12) - Hillrom™ 900 Electric Bed Instructions for Use
It is thus the responsibility of the nursing staff to authorize the patient to use certain
bed functions, including the HiLow.
The "Shock"*, Trendelenburg, Reverse Trendelenburg, chair* and return to flat*
functions must only be accessible to caregivers.
Electrical safety
When direct intravascular or intracardiac connections are in use, the electric
potentials of all the unprotected metal parts need to be equalized. The bed must be
connected to a mains electric power supply with earth protection.
In an environment where the electrostatic discharges are prevalent, we recommend
using an antistatic caster.
The mains power supply for the bed must comply with relevant standards:
• NF C 15-100 and NF C 15-211 (France),
• International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 364 for other locations.
Check that the bed’s power requirements on the identification label (see “Electrical
characteristics” page 13) correspond to the power supply voltage of the hospital.
The power supply should be equipped with a maximum 30 mA earth
leakage circuit breaker, in compliance with IEC 364-5-53.
All the parts of the bed that are within the patient's reach, even if they are under
the frame, are applied parts.
If the integrity of the protective conductor is in doubt, the beds fitted with batteries
must be used in battery mode.
In compliance with standards relating to electromagnetic interference for medical
equipment, this product does not interfere with other medical devices or is not
susceptible to interference when combined with other medical devices that also
comply with the electromagnetic standards in force.
Some devices, particularly older ones that do not comply with the electromagnetic
compatibility standards, may however undergo interference or may themselves
interfere with the working of this product.
The users of such devices are responsible for ensuring that any malfunctions will
not endanger the patient or any other person.
Use of this equipment adjacent to or stacked with other equipment should be avoided
because it could result in improper operation. If such use is necessary, this equipment
and the other equipment should be observed to verify that they are operating
normally.
Ensure that the power cord is unplugged and hooked to the bed before moving the
bed (see “Securing the power cable” page 74).
Only duly qualified and authorized staff should carry out electrical maintenance.

Introduction
Specifications
Never clean or service the bed without unplugging it from the mains power supply
and disconnecting the battery.
The battery backup must never be left in direct contact with fire, placed in liquid, or
discarded in a refuse bin. In the event of the battery being damaged, see “De-
commissioning” page 80.
This label indicates that the bed must never be used with an
oxygen tent or in explosive atmospheres (presence of
inflammable gases or vapors)
. Use only nasal tubes and oxygen
masks. For reasons of safety, masks and tubes should always be
kept at a higher level than the sleep surface.
Always lock out the HiLow function before any cleaning or
maintenance operations.
If the bed is equipped with a battery, and the bed is stored for long periods of time, the
battery must be charged every 3 months. Failure to do so could result in damage to the
battery.
If a continuous alarm sounds when activating a movement, the battery needs to
be recharged.
General precautions for the place of use
It is advisable not to use the bed under the following conditions:
- in hospital wards other than the intended ward (see “Intended Use” page
3),
- climatic conditions outside the corresponding ranges recommended by
Hill-Rom,
- in hyperbaric chambers,
- in explosive atmospheres,
- in the presence of flammable gases or vapors,
- with oxygen tent type respiration devices or devices that extend below
the sleep surface,
- outdoors or to transport a patient in a vehicle,
- moving the bed over soft ground or inappropriate surfaces,
- moving the bed along slopes of over 10° (with or without a patient).
