Removing The Foot Section; Operating The Glideaway Foot Rests - Stryker 4701 Manuel D'utilisation

REMOVING THE FOOT SECTION

S
Before removing the foot section, put the foot rests into position above the foot mattress and place the
patient's feet in the contoured foot rests. To remove the foot section, squeeze the red release handle at
the foot end of the bed and raise the locking bar to the full−up position until it latches in place. The foot
section will now slide straight off the bed.
NOTE
If the foot section mattress is placed with the perineal edge toward the floor, it will stand independently.
S
To reinstall the foot section of the bed, set the foot mattress back on the bed and slide it straight toward
the main mattress. The locking bar can only be lowered when the foot section is in the "locking zone",
approximately 2 inches from the main mattress. Squeeze the red release handle and lower the locking
bar into the locked position. As the locking bar is lowered, the gap between the mattresses will narrow
to ease installation. The LD304 foot section is designed to lift and support a 300 pound load.
OPERATING THE GLIDEAWAY FOOT RESTS/ATTACHABLE CALF SUPPORTS
S
Rotate the foot rest into position by pulling it out and up over the foot end mattress until it clicks into place.
Ensure the foot rest is securely locked in the upright position by grasping and attempting to move it.
S
After they are in position, the foot rests are adjustable six ways:
1. Abduct/Adduct (pivoting)
Pivoting in and out allows the clinician to position the patient's feet and legs at the desired width. To
use the Abduct/Adduct feature, squeeze the gray release handles located at the foot end of the bed. Pivot
the foot rest into the desired position and release the handle to lock the foot rest in that position.
NOTE
For emergency situations, the foot rests will pivot to 90 degrees. Hold onto the release handle and pivot
the foot rest out. Beyond 36 degrees the foot rest will not lock into position.
2. In/Out
The in/out motion allows the clinician to adjust the foot rests to comfortably accommodate patients of
different heights. Squeeze either of the two purple triggers at the opening on the foot upright and slide
the foot rest to the desired position. Release the trigger to lock the foot rest in position.
3. Up/Down
The foot end high/low adjustment allows the foot end of the bed to be positioned up to 7" below the top
of the seat mattress to accommodate different sized patients when the foot rests calf supports or labor bar
are being used. The foot end high/low adjustment is on the outside siderail controls (see
S
To switch between the foot rest and calf support positions, press the purple button at the bottom of
the gray footrest and rotate the foot rest to the desired position.
S
To store the footrests, press the purple button at the bottom of the gray foot support and position the foot
support as shown in the following diagram. The footrest cannot be stowed unless it's in this position. To
ensure the most effective storage, the calf supports should be positioned inside the storage notch.
