Important Precautions
Warning: Possible Injury Or Death. This product
is intended for use as an adjustable mattress
platform that articulates for resident/patient
comfort with adjustable height for resident/patient
and caregiver convenience. Use of this product
in a manner for which it was not designed could
result in unproven or unsafe conguration,
potentially resulting in injury or death.
Warning: Possible Injury. Before adjusting bed,
ensure that area under and near bed perimeter is
free of people and obstructions. Failure to do so
could result in injury.
Warning: Possible Injury. Keep bed in lowest
position except when providing care (bathing,
clothing changes, etc.). Bed should be at lowest
convenient height for entry or exit. Failure to do so
could result in injury.
Warning: Possible Injury Or Death. Floor locks
increase bed stability and resident/patient safety.
Floor and caster swivel locks must be locked prior
to any resident/patient transfer or resident/patient
use of the bed. Failure to do so could result in
injury or death.
Warning: Possible Injury Or Death. Residents/
patients may become entangled in pendant cord.
Patients with reduced mental acuity should not be
allowed access to pendant. Unsupervised use of
pendant could result in injury or death.
Warning: Possible Injury Or Death. Bed safe
working load is 1050 pounds. This is total weight
counting resident/patient, mattress, bedding and
any other equipment or persons likely to be on
bed. Do not exceed 1050-pound safe working
load. Exceeding the safe working load could result
in property damage, injury or death.
Warning: Possible Fire Hazard. Use nasal mask
or ½ bed tent oxygen administering equipment.
Oxygen tent should not extend below Mattress
Support Platform. Pendant should not be placed
in an oxygen-enriched environment such as an
oxygen tent. Use of electrical circuits in an oxygen-
enriched environment could result in a re hazard.
2
Warning: Possible Shock Hazard. Unplug
power cord from wall outlet before performing any
maintenance, cleaning, or service to the bed. Failure
to do so could result in injury or death. Note: In case
of unexpected movement, unplug bed from
any outlet.
Warning: Possible Shock Hazard. Injury may
result from improper routing of the power cord.
Always follow the proper factory-installed routing
conguration. Failure to do so could result in injury
or death.
Warning: Possible Injury Or Death. Use a
mattress that is properly sized to t Mattress Support
Platform, which will remain centered on Mattress
Support Platform relative to State and Federal
guidelines. Length and width should match Mattress
Support Platform. Use of an improperly tted
mattress could result in injury or death.
Warning: Possible Injury Or Death. If a resident/
patient’s mental or physical condition could lead to
resident/patient entrapment, the Mattress Support
Platform should be left in the at position when
unattended. Failure to do so could result in injury or
death.
Warning: Possible Injury Or Death. Use a properly
sized mattress in order to minimize the gap between
the side of mattress and Side Rails/Assist Devices.
This gap must be small enough to prevent resident/
patient from getting his/her head or neck caught in
this location. Make sure that raising or lowering bed,
or articulating the sleep surface, does not create any
hazardous gaps. Excessive gaps may result in injury
or death.
Warning: Possible Injury Or Death. Do not use
any Side Rails/Assist Devices until you verify it is
locked in place. Failure to lock assist devices may
result in injury or death.
Warning: Possible Injury Or Death. Do not use
any replacement parts not manufactured, marketed,
or provided by Joerns Healthcare on any Joerns
bed. Use of unapproved replacement parts may
result in injury or death.

Warning: Possible Injury Or Death. If using
accessories not manufactured, marketed, or
provided by Joerns Healthcare for Joerns® beds,
consult with the manufacturer for compatibility and
limitations prior to use. Failure to do so may result in
injury or death.
Warning: Possible Shock Hazard. Bed power
cord has hospital-grade, 3-pronged grounded plug.
Grounding reliability can only be achieved when
equipment is connected to an equivalent receptacle
marked hospital-grade. If external grounding
conductor is in doubt, operate bed from backup
battery. Failure to do so could result in injury.
Warning: Possible Equipment Damage Or
Injury To Staff Members. Service and repair must
only be performed by qualied, authorized Joerns
Healthcare Technical Support personnel
(call 800-966-6662).
Warning: Explosion Hazard. Do not use in
the presence of ammable anesthetics, gas or
vapors. Failure to heed this warning could result in
equipment damage, injury or death.
Caution: Stay clear of underneath the bed when
adjusting or moving the bed.
Caution: Mattress Support Platform is not grounded,
nor does it have a potential equalization connection
point. To prevent injury to resident/patient connected
to intravascular or intercardial medical equipment,
alternate measure must be implemented to equalize
the potential between Mattress Support Platform and
medical equipment.
Warning: To reduce the risk of injury, ensure the
sleep surface is horizontal and in the lowest position
with the siderails fully raised and locked when
moving the bed with a resident/patient in it. For best
maneuverability performance, push the bed from the
head end.
To avoid injury to the resident/patient and/or user, do
not attempt to move the bed laterally with the steer
mode engaged. The steer wheel can not swivel.
Caution: To avoid damage to the siderail
mechanisms, do not move the bed using the
siderails. Use the push/pull handles integrated to the
end panels to move the bed.
Caution: Before transporting bed, unplug bed
from power source, route Power Cord around Cord
storage hooks on bed frame below Head Panel
and hang Pendant Cord from Foot Panel. Failure
to do so could result in Power Cord, Pendant
Cord or bed damage, thereby creating a potential
hazard. Failure to do so could result in Power
cord, Pendant Cord or bed damage, thereby
creating a potential hazard.
Caution: Particular precaution must be considered
during exposure to strong emission source such
as High Frequency surgical equipment and
similar devices. Do not route High Frequency
cables on or near device. If in doubt, contact a
qualied technician.
When assessing the risk for entrapment, you need
to consider your bed, mattress, Head/Foot Panels,
Side Rails/Assist Device and other accessories,
as a system. It is also extremely important to
review the resident/patient’s physical and mental
condition and initiate an appropriate individual care
plan to address entrapment risk. All Joerns bed
systems are evaluated for compliance to the
FDA/CDRH “Hospital Bed System Dimensional
and Assessment Guidance to Reduce
Entrapment.” For more information, call Customer
Care, 800-826-0270.

Bed System Entrapment Information
In recent years, bedside rails have been a subject
of regulatory review and evolution in design
and use.
That focus includes not only the challenge of
achieving an appropriate balance between
resident security and unnecessary restraint, but
also the additional safety issue of entrapment.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA),
working with our company and other industry
representatives has addressed the potential
danger of entrapment with new safety guidelines
for medical beds. These guidelines recommend
dimensional limits for critical gaps and spaces
between bed system components.
Entrapment zones involve the relationship of
components often directly assembled by the
healthcare facility rather than the manufacturer.
Therefore, compliance is the responsibility of
the facility.
As the leading manufacturer of long-term care
beds and a frontrunner in addressing this critical
issue, Joerns Healthcare can offer you the
expertise, assistance and products to bring your
facility into compliance.
Joerns®Compliance Solutions
Matching the right bed components in order to meet
regulatory guidelines can be complex.
That’s why Joerns offers a wide array of compliance
options. We assist customers in selecting compliant
accessories recommended for their specic
bed model.

Scale System
Functions and
Weighing Procedures
Caution: 5th Wheel must be disengaged to obtain
an accurate resident/patient weight.
0.0 Zero
With all bed linens in place and without resident/
patient in bed, press Zero button. Displayed
message will read “PLEASE WAIT - HANDS OFF”.
Be sure nothing touches weight-sensitive portion
of integrated Scale System while performing
zeroing function. In a few seconds, display will
indicate “WEIGHT = 0.0 LB”.
Lb/Kg
Weight data may be viewed in either pounds or
kilograms. Pressing this button allows you to
switch between display modes quickly and easily.
Both modes will display resident/patient’s weight
within 0.1 units of resolution (0.1 Lb. or 0.1 Kg.).
Freeze/Resume
Freeze/Resume mode button provides
customized ability to adjust resident/patient’s
comfort by adding/ removing a pillow or blanket
or ancillary equipment, without affecting
resident/patient’s displayed weight.
Press Freeze/Resume button. The display will
read “FREEZE = (resident/patient’s weight).”
Make all necessary adjustments to bed or
resident/patient. When done, press
Freeze/Resume button again to resume
normal weighing.
Weight Change Mode
This mode is used to monitor resident/patient’s
weight changes. Note: To enable this function
initially, press Weight Change Mode button with
resident/patient in bed and then press Zero button
to zero out weight. Display will read
“ WT CHG = (resident/patient weight)”.
Any variation in weight will now be viewed as a
“+” or “-” gure relative to zero.
Weight Mode
If display shuts off before you can view weight data,
simply press the On button to refresh display and
view resident/patient’s weight. Display will indicate
“WEIGHT = XXX.X LB”(or KG).
Caution: After initialization process is complete and
Scale System is still in Weight Change Mode, do
not press Zero button again, or you will lose all
stored resident/patient’s weight history.
Pressing Weight Mode button will switch back to the
Weight Mode allowing you to view resident/patient’s
total weight again.
Caution: If you do not press Freeze/Resume
button before adding/removing items from bed,
the weight of those items will be reected in the
displayed weight, which will be hard to adjust back to
the correct stored weight.
Note: You can correct any weight discrepancy
described above, by using Weight Mode (for
increases) and Weight Change Mode (for
decreases) buttons, to manually adjust displayed
weight reading. You will need to know the weight of
added/removed items to add/subtract from
total weight.
If Freeze/Resume mode is left unattended for
more than three minutes, display will read “LEFT IN
FREEZE - REFER TO MANUAL.” You must press
Freeze/Resume button to exit this mode.
On
Button refreshes display or initiates power for
scale use.
