Safety Tips
To help prevent the risk of hospital bed fires, make sure facility personnel
follow the safety tips in the FDA Public Health Notification: Safety Tips for
Preventing Hospital Bed Fires.
WARNING:
Refer to facility protocol when you make an analysis of a patient for
entrapment risk. Monitor the patients as applicable. Failure to do so
could cause injury or death.
WARNING:
Refer to facility protocol when you make an analysis of a patient for
entrapment risk. Monitor the patients as applicable. Make sure that all
siderails are fully latched when in the raised position. Failure to do so
could cause injury or death.
NOTE:
Siderails are intended to be a reminder to the patient of the unit’s edges, not a
patient-restraining device. When applicable, Hill-Rom recommends that
medical persons determine the proper methods necessary to make sure a
patient remains safely in bed.
WARNING:
Make sure the bed is in the low position when the patient is unattended.
This may reduce the severity of any injuries caused from patient falls.
WARNING:
Always set the brakes when the unit is occupied, except when you
transport a patient. Reconfirm before any patient transfer. Failure to do
so may cause injury or equipment damage.
WARNING:
Use the lockout control to deactivate the bed functions. Movement of a
patient or inadvertent activation of the bed functions by untrained
persons could cause injury.

Do not work under an unsupported load. Install applicable temporary
supports. Failure to do so could cause injury or equipment damage.
WARNING:
Put caster blocks behind the casters at the opposite end of the bed.
Failure to do so could cause injury.
WARNING:
Only facility-approved persons should service the bed. Service by not
approved persons could cause injury or equipment damage.
WARNING:
Obey the product manufacturer’s instructions. Failure to do so could
cause injury or equipment damage.
WARNING:
Attach the foot section to the head section. Failure to do so could cause
injury.
WARNING:
Powered bed mechanisms can cause injury. Operate the bed only
when persons are clear of the mechanisms. Failure to do so could
cause injury or death.
WARNING:
Remove the patient from the bed before you do this procedure. Failure
to do so could cause injury or equipment malfunction.
WARNING:
Wear eye protection. Failure to do so may cause eye injury.

WARNING:
If you use or handle the power cord improperly you may cause damage
to the power cord. If damage has occurred to the power cord or any of
its components, immediately remove the unit from service, and contact
the applicable maintenance person. Failure to do so could cause
electrical shock or other injury or equipment damage.
WARNING:
Fluid spills onto the bed electronics can cause a hazard. If such a spill
occurs, unplug the bed, and remove it from service. Failure to do so
could cause injury or equipment damage.
WARNING:
Follow applicable infection control policies and procedures. Failure to
do so could cause the spread of infection.
WARNING:
Install the IV pole correctly. Failure to do so could cause injury or
equipment damage.
SHOCK HAZARD:
Disconnect the bed from its power source. Failure to do so could cause
injury or equipment damage.
SHOCK HAZARD:
Do not expose the unit to excessive moisture. Injury or equipment
damage could occur.
SHOCK HAZARD:
The potential for electrical shock exists with electrical equipment.
Failure to follow facility protocols may cause death or injury.
CAUTION:
Make sure that a flat side of the hex rod faces upward when it is
installed. Failure to do so may cause the central brake and steer to
operate incorrectly.
