CONTOURA® 980B & 1080 WITH WEIGHING INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE Transport • Whenever the bed is moved over any significant distance, it must be put into transport mode, otherwise the load cells may be damaged. To put into transport mode, turn the screws on the four corners of the bed base in a clockwise direction until fully down and finger-tight. It is not necessary to put the bed into transport mode for moving short distances round a hospital. • When the bed is stationary and weighing is to be re-commenced, turn the screws in an anti-clockwise direction until fully up and finger-tight, and switch the mains power on. The system can then be set to zero, and weighing can be recommenced. • The bed must be installed on a flat, level floor for weighing. Position of Patient for Weighing • The bed can be in any position for weighing. However, it must be freestanding – i.e. not touching any walls, lockers, curtains etc. • The bed does not have to be in the same position for every weight reading for any given patient – e.g. the patient can be weighed in the morning completely flat, and in the evening in a chair position. MRF-139
• The patient can be in any position on the bed for weighing, as long as their whole body is on top of the mattress – i.e. no arms, legs etc. dangling over the side. The patient can therefore be flat on their back, on their side etc. However, we recommend that they are positioned as centrally as possible to ensure maximum accuracy. • During weighing, there must be no drainage bags, bottles etc. leading from the patient and resting on the floor. Any such items should be either placed on top of the mattress or be hanging from the side of the bed frame. Accuracy The weighing system on Contoura® 980B is accurate to ± 200 g. Contoura® 980B will weigh up to a maximum of 250 kg (39 stones / 550 lbs.). The display shows kg only. The weighing system on Contoura® 1080 is accurate to ± 500 g. Contoura® 1080 will weigh up to 500 kg (78 stones / 1100 lbs.). The display shows kg only.
