CPR position
Adjusting the calf position
Changing from Fowler position (left) to vascular
WARNING
Take care when lifting the calf section. Observe local manual
handling guidelines.
If the patient suffers a cardiac arrest, press and hold the
CPR button. This will flatten the mattress platform (and
lower it if necessary) to enable cardio-pulmonary
resuscitation to be carried out.
The CPR button overrides the function lockout settings.
When the thigh section is raised, the calf section can be
manually changed to the vascular (horizontal) position:
Hold the side of the calf section frame. Lift the calf section
upwards until it latches.
To return the calf section to the Fowler position:
Use the patient handset or ACP to lower the thigh section
to the flat position; then raise the thigh section again.
