Anti-entrapment system (Optional)
The anti-entrapment system is designed to detect patient entrapment
between the base and mattress platform when the mattress platform is
lowered, or is placed into tilt or Auto-Chair. The system is permanently
active and cannot be switched off.
There are four infra-red sensors (
generate an invisible beam around the base of the bed (3).
If the beam is interrupted (e.g. by a patient's limb) while the mattress
platform is lowering, the mattress platform stops moving and the weighing
system display shows
not affected.
NOTE
The anti-entrapment system may also be triggered if the beam is interrupted by bed linen,
etc.
WARNING
Clean the lenses (2) of the infra-red sensors regularly using a soft dry cloth.
