SECTION 1-GENERAL GUIDELINES

Operating Information Check all parts for shipping damage and test before using. In case of damage, DO NOT use. Contact a qualified technician for further instruction. After any adjustments, repair or service and before use, make sure all attaching hardware is tightened securely. Close supervision is necessary when the electric bed is used by or near children and physically challenged individuals. DO NOT let any individual underneath the bed or in between the raised bed frame components at anytime. When bed is not to be used for an extended period, unplug electric bed from the wall outlet. Keep the product a minimum of 12 inches away from any direct heat source. DO NOT unplug power cord from junction box. If a liquid is spilled in or around the electric bed, unplug the electric bed before cleaning. Clean up the spill and allow the electric bed or the area around the electric bed to dry thoroughly before using the electric controls again. The electric bed is not designed to be used as a patient transport. When transporting a patient, use an approved patient transport. Otherwise, injury or damage may result. When operating/moving electric beds, ALWAYS ensure that the individual utilizing the bed is positioned properly within the confines of the bed. DO NOT let any extremities protrude over the side or between the bed rails when performing these functions. After the electric bed has been assembled, ALWAYS test to make sure that all sections of the electric bed are properly and securely in place before using. Make sure head and foot springs/sections are connected securely to the universal bed ends before use. NEVER operate the unit if these cords are damaged. If the unit is not working properly, call a qualified technician to examine the unit and repair it. Keep all moving parts, including the main frame, mattress deck (head and foot springs/sections) and all drive shafts, free of obstruction (i.e. blankets/sheets, heating blankets/pads, tubing, wiring, etc. and other types of products using electric cords which may get tangled around the bed, bed rails or legs) during operation of the electric bed. The electric bed is equipped with locking casters. When transferring into or out of the electric bed, ALWAYS lock the locking caster(s). Inspect the wheel locks for correct locking action before actual use. Even with casters properly locked, some flooring surfaces such as tile or wood, will allow the bed to move under some conditions. Use on surfaces such as these MUST be evaluated by the care provider. Ensure that all four casters are locked and that the bed does not move before transferring. DO NOT transfer occupant if bed is not stable. Part No 1143215

SECTION 1-GENERAL GUIDELINES

 ENTRAPMENT WARNING Proper patient assessment and monitoring, and proper maintenance and use of equipment is required to reduce the risk of entrapment. Variations in bed rail dimensions, and mattress thickness, size or density could increase the risk of entrapment. Visit the FDA website at http://www.fda.gov to learn about the risks of entrapment. Review “A Guide to Bed Safety”, published by the Hospital Bed Safety Workgroup, located at www.invacare.com. Use the link located under each bed rail product entry to access this bed safety guide. Refer to the owners manuals for beds and rails for additional product and safety information. After any adjustments, repair or service and before use, make sure all attaching hardware is tightened securely. Assist rails with dimensions different from the original equipment supplied or specified by the bed manufacturer may not be interchangeable and may result in entrapment or other injury. Mattress MUST fit bed frame and assist rails snugly to reduce the risk of entrapment.

Replacement Parts/Accessories Use masked or nasal type oxygen administering equipment only in conjunction with the electric bed. The use of any other type of oxygen administering equipment can result in a fire hazard. When using nasal or masked type oxygen administering equipment, the oxygen or air tubing MUST be routed and secured properly to ensure that the tubing does not become entangled and/or severed during normal operation of electric bed. ALWAYS test to make sure that the bed rails are properly and securely in place before using the electric bed. Invacare recommends that the mattress be centered on the bed frame. Otherwise, individuals may become entangled between the bed rail and the bed frame. Physically challenged individuals who cannot prevent themselves from rolling/climbing out of the electric bed may require alternative safe means of restraint. The bed rails DO NOT fall under any weight limitations. Bed rails can be deformed or broken if excessive side pressure is exerted on the bed rails. These bed rails are used for the purpose of preventing an individual from inadvertently rolling out of bed. The bed rails are not intended nor may be used for restraint purposes. If an individual is capable of injuring himself/herself, a physician or a healthcare professional should be consulted for alternative means of safe restraint. After raising/lowering the head/foot end of the electric bed, check the distance between the bottom of the bed rail and the mattress. If there is excessive distance between the bottom of the bed rail and the mattress in which individuals may become entangled, adjust the height of the bed rail (if applicable), or provide alternative means of patient protection. BAR750

Part No 1143215

SECTION 1-GENERAL GUIDELINES DO NOT use the bed rails as push handles for moving the electric bed. Replacement mattresses and bed rails with dimensions different from the original equipment supplied or specified by the bed frame manufacturer are not interchangeable. Variations in bed rail design, width and thickness or firmness of the mattress could cause/contribute to entrapment. Invacare products are specifically designed and manufactured for use in conjunction with Invacare accessories. Accessories designed by other manufactures have not been tested by Invacare and are not recommended for use with Invacare products.

Electrical  DANGER

When using an extension cord, use only a three wire extension cord having at least 16 AWG (American Wire Gauge) wire and the same or higher electrical rating as the device being connected. Use of improper extension cord could result in a risk of fire and electric shock. Three prong to two prong adapters should not be used. Use of three prong adapters can result in improper grounding and present a shock hazard to the user. NEVER operate if the unit has a damaged cord or plug. If it is not working properly, call a qualified technician for examination and repair. Keep all electrical cords away from heated or hot surfaces. Ensure all cables and cords are routed such that they will not become entangled or pinched. Otherwise damage or injury may result.

Repair or Service Information DO NOT open assemblies such as the motors, pendant, junction boxes or gear boxes. No user serviceable parts are inside. Only qualified technicians are permitted to repair these parts. If unqualified individuals perform any work on these beds, the warranty is void. Unplug the power cord from its power source before performing any maintenance on the electric bed. DO NOT unplug the power cord from the junction box. Damage to cord will result. Before installing the connector into the junction box, be sure the side with the locking tab is facing downward - otherwise, injury or damage may occur.

Part No 1143215

SECTION 1-GENERAL GUIDELINES

Grounding Instructions Electric beds are equipped with three-prong (grounding) plugs for protection against possible shock hazards. Where a two-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to contact a qualified electrician and have the two-prong receptacle replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle in accordance with the National Electrical Code. If you must use an extension cord, use only a three-wire extension cord having the same or higher electrical rating as the device being connected. DO NOT, under any circumstances, cut or remove the round grounding prong from any plug used with or for Invacare products. In addition, Invacare has placed RED warning tags on some equipment. DO NOT remove these tags. For proper grounding, junction box MUST be securely connected to the bed with metal screws and the spacer provided or electrical shock could occur.

Radio Frequency Interference Electronic equipment may be influenced by Radio Frequency Interference (RFI). Caution should be exercised with regard to the use of portable communications equipment in the area around such equipment. If RFI causes erratic behavior, unplug the electric bed immediately. Leave unplugged while transmission is in progress.

Weight Limitations The total weight limit of the Bariatric Bed (including accessories, mattress, occupant and any other objects positioned on the bed) is 750 pounds (340 kg); 675 pounds (308 kg) patient weight. NEVER permit more than one person on the electric bed at any time. Body weight should be evenly distributed over the surface of the manual/electric bed. DO NOT lay, sit or lean in such a way that your entire body weight is placed only on raised head or foot sections of the bed. This includes when repositioning or transferring in or out of bed.
