SAFETY TIPS AND GUIDELINES
Before operating the EPIC II®and EPIC II®PLUS Critical Care Beds, it is important to read and understand all
information in this manual. Carefully read and strictly follow the guidelines listed on this page and the following pages.
To ensure safe operation of the bed, methods and procedures must be established for educating and training hospital
staff on the intrinsic risks associated with the usage of electric beds.
WARNING
• The EPIC II®Critical Care Bed is equipped with a hospital grade plug for protection against shock hazard. It must
be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. Grounding reliability can be achieved only
when a hospital grade receptacle is used.
• Serious injury can result if caution is not used when operating the bed. Operate bed only when all persons are
clear of the electrical and mechanical systems.
• To help reduce the number and severity of falls by patients, always leave the bed in the lowest position when the
patient is unattended.
• When raising the siderails, listen for the “click” that indicates the siderail has locked in the up position. Pull firmly
on the siderail to ensure it is locked into position. Siderails are not intended to be a patient restraint device. It is
the responsibility of attending medical personnel to determine the degree of restraint and the siderail positioning
necessary to ensure a patient will remain safely in bed.
• Always apply the caster brakes when a patient is getting on or off the bed. Always keep the caster brakes applied
when a patient is on the bed (except during transport). Serious injury could result if the bed moves while a patient
is getting in or out of bed. After the brake pedal is applied, push on the bed to ensure the brakes are locked. When
moving the bed, toggle the steer pedal to put the bed in the steer mode. This locks the swivel motion of the right
foot end caster and makes the bed easier to move.
• Ensure the brakes are completely released prior attempting to move the bed. Attempting to move the bed with the
brakes actuated could result in injury to the user and/or patient.
• Assistance is required to lower the Back if the angle of the Back is greater than 80° when the CPR emergency
release is activated. Attempting to lower the Back in this position without assistance may result in injury to the
operator.
• The Bed Exit System is intended only to aid in the detection of a patient exiting the bed. It is not intended to replace
patient monitoring protocol. The bed exit system signals when a patient is about to exit. Adding or subtracting
objects from the bed after arming the bed exit system may cause a reduction in the sensitivity of the bed exit
system.
• If the bed is equipped with the EPIC II® PLUS option, there is a power save mode. The power save mode is activated
after one hour on battery power with no motion release switch activation. Functions including Bed Exit, scale and
motion will cease to operate when the unit enters the power save mode. Injury to the patient could occur if proper
patient monitoring protocol is not observed.
• Due to the weight the battery backup option adds to the bed (approximately 50 pounds), additional force is
required to move a bed equipped with the EPIC II®PLUS Option. Caution should be used when transporting this
bed. Additional assistance should be used when necessary. Failure to use caution while transporting this bed may
result in injury to the user.
• Always unplug bed during service or cleaning. When working under the bed, always place blocks under the litter
frame to prevent injury in case the Bed Down switch is accidently activated.
• The battery tray assembly weighs 50 pounds. Take care when removing the two hexagonal head screws securing
it to the base frame or personal injury could result.
• Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
• The EPIC II®Critical Care Bed is not intended for pediatric use or for patients under 50 pounds.
• Explosion Hazard - do not use bed in the presence of flammable anesthetics.
• To avoid entanglement, possibly resulting in frayed power cords and risk of electrical shock, wrap the bed power
cord around the head board of the bed during transport.
Summary of Safety Precautions

Return To Table of Contents
www.stryker.com 2030-809-002 REV D 11
WARNING (CONTINUED)
• Service only by qualified personnel. Refer to the maintenance manual. Verify the power cord is unplugged and the
battery power switch (EPIC II®PLUS option) is turned to the off position before servicing.
• When using the Symmetric AireTM Mattress, extra caution and or operator supervision is required to help reduce
the likelihood of a patient fall occurring.
To avoid possible injury and to assure proper operation when using a powered mattress replacement system such as
XPR T:
• Confirm proper scale system operation following mattress installation. For best results, secure the therapy mattress
power cord to prevent damage to the cord or interference with the bed frame and the scales system.
• Do not zero bed scales or weigh patient with Percussion, Vibration, Rotation or Turn-Assist active. Patient motion
and position resulting from the dynamic therapy mattress may adversely affect scale system performance.
• Do not initialize (“Arm”) bed exit with Percussion, Vibration, Rotation or Turn-Assist active. The patient motion and
position resulting from the dynamic therapy mattress may adversely affect bed exit system performance.
• When using an XPRT Therapy Mattress extra caution and or operator supervision is required to help reduce the
likelihood of a patient fall occurring.
CAUTION
• Scale function may be affected by siderail/caster interference. With the litter fully lowered or lowered in Reverse
Trendelenburg, the siderails tucked under the litter in the storage position and the casters turned, there is the potential
for interference between the siderail and the caster. Raise the siderails when lowering the litter to the full down
position to prevent the interference from causing the bed’s scale system to weigh inaccurately.
• The lockout buttons on the footboard lock the Fowler, Gatch and Bed Up/Down functions and prevent motion of the
bed. It is the responsibility of attending medical personnel to determine whether these functions should be locked
and to use the buttons accordingly.
• Because individual beds may have different options, footboards should not be moved from one bed to another.
Mixing footboards could result in unpredictable bed operation.
• If large fluid spills occur in the area of the circuit boards or motors, immediately unplug the bed power cord from
the wall socket. Remove the patient from the bed and clean up the fluid. Have maintenance completely check the
bed. Fluids can short out controls and may cause the bed to operate erratically or make some functions completely
inoperable. Component failure, caused by fluids, could cause the bed to operate unpredictably and could cause
injury to the patient. Do not put the bed back into service until it is completely dry and has been thoroughly tested
for safe operation.
• Preventative maintenance should be performed at a minimum of annually to ensure all features are functioning as
designed. Close attention should be given to safety features including, but not limited to:
• Safety side latching mechanisms
• Caster braking systems,
• Leakage current 300 µA max
• No controls or cabling entangled in bed mechanisms
• Frayed electrical cords and components
• All controls return to off or neutral position when released.
• The siderails are not intended to be used as a pushing device. Damage to the siderails could occur.
• The use of a mattress overlay may reduce the effectiveness of the siderail.
• When attaching equipment to the bed, ensure it will not impede normal bed operation or patient injury could occur.
For example: Hooks on hanging equipment must not actuate control buttons, equipment must not hide the nurse
call button, etc.
• The weight of the I.V. bags should not exceed 40 pounds.
• Do not add or remove weight when the bed exit system is armed.
• The cleanliness and integrity of both ground chains must be maintained to minimize static build-up and
discharge.
• I.V. Poles should not be used as a bed push/pull device.
Summary of Safety Precautions

Return To Table of Contents
12 2030-809-002 REV D www.stryker.com
Note
The following Caution statements apply to the optional outlet:
• Maximum total load 5A receptacle rating: 120VAC, 5A, 60 Hz.
• The total system chassis risk current should not exceed 300 µA.
• Grounding continuity should be checked periodically.
• Do not use for life-sustaining equipment.
• Use only hospital-grade equipment with electrical outlet.
• Unplug free-standing equipment before transporting the bed.
Summary of Safety Precautions
IBED AWARENESS OPTION
In addition to the previous warnings and cautions, all of the following warnings and cautions apply to units equipped
with the iBED Awareness option.
WARNING
• The optional iBED Awareness system only indicates the siderail position, it does NOT indicate if the siderail is
locked. It is the caregiver’s responsibility to ensure that the siderails are locked after every move and also before
leaving a patient in the room.
• The optional iBED Awareness system indicator lights are only an aid to the caregiver but in no way replace the
caregiver’s responsibility of checking on patients. Caregivers should not rely on the lights to perform their duties.
• Before arming the optional iBED Awareness system, the nurse must physically verify that siderails are locked.
CAUTION
• If the optional iBED Awareness system is being used; ensure the bed is in the desirable state (iBED Awareness
ON and with the light Green) before leaving the room.
• If the optional iBED Awareness system is being used and the iBED Awareness is alerting, do not turn off iBED
Awareness as the display information to troubleshoot the bed will get lost.
• If the optional iBED Awareness system is being used; use of accessories that cover the alert light are not
recommended.
BATTERY BACKUP OPTION - OPTIONAL INVERTER PROTECTION FEATURES
The optional EPIC II®PLUS inverter has several features to prevent internal damage:
1. Low Battery Voltage - If the battery voltage at the inverter drops below the low voltage cut-off, the inverter will
shut off.
2. Over-Temperature - If the inverter gets too hot, it will shut off. The overheating may be caused by high ambient
temperature, blocked air flow or an overload condition. When the inverter reaches an acceptable temperature, it
will restart.
3. Over-Power - The inverter will source up to its maximum power rating. If the load requires more, the output voltage
will shut down. Turning the power switch off and on will reset the inverter. Plugging the bed power cord into the
wall socket to charge the battery will reset the inverter.
WARNING
The inverter generates 120VAC, the same as a wall receptacle. To prevent injury, do not put anything into the electrical
outlets other than an appliance power cord. Keep the outlets covered when not in use. Do not submerge the unit or
subject it to moisture.

It is important that the EPIC II®Critical Care Bed is working properly before it is put into service. The following list will
help ensure that each part of the bed is checked.
• Plug the bed into a properly grounded, hospital grade wall receptacle.
WARNING
The EPIC II®Critical Care Bed is equipped with a hospital grade plug for protection against shock hazard. It must be
plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. Grounding reliability can be achieved only when a
hospital grade receptacle is used.
• Depress the pedal at either side of the bed fully to set the four wheel brakes and ensure all four casters lock.
Depress the pedal again to release the brakes.
• Toggle the steer pedal to put the bed in the steer mode and ensure the locking caster engages.
• Ensure the siderails raise and lower smoothly and lock in the up and intermediate positions.
• Run through each function on the footboard control panel and ensure that each is working properly.
• Ensure all functions are working properly on the siderail controls.
• Raise the Back up to approximately 60°. Squeeze the CPR release handle and ensure the Back and Knee will drop
with minimal effort.
• If the bed is equipped with the EPIC II®PLUS battery backup option, unplug the power cord from the wall socket.
Push the battery power switch located on the lower left corner of the head end to the “On” position. Again, verify
each function on the footboard and siderails is operating properly. The 12 volt batteries that provide backup power
to the unit functions with the EPIC II® PLUS option will charge whenever the power cord is plugged into the wall
socket. The batteries require approximately 10 hours of charging time before the bed is put into service.
• If the bed is equipped with the Nurse Call option, verify it is functioning properly prior to patient use.
