Before operating the GoBed
manual . Carefully read and strictly follow the safety guidelines listed below . It is important that all users have been trained
and educated on the inherent hazards associated with the usage of electric beds .
WARNING
• Always unplug the bed power cord from the power source before moving the bed .
• This bed is not intended for pediatric use, i .e ., for any patient measuring 35 inches (88,9 cm) or less .
• The maximum load capacity of the monitor tray is 40 lb (18 kg) .
• The weight of the I . V . bags must not exceed 11 lb (5 kg) per hook .
• The weight of the I . V . bags must not exceed 40 lb (18 kg) .
• The maximum load capacity of the oxygen bottle holder is 75 lb (34 kg) .
• The maximum load capacity of the overhead trapeze is 150 lb (68 kg) .
• The overhead trapeze is designed to help the patient change position in bed . The trapeze must not be used as a
support to enter or exit the bed . Injuries may result due to improper use of the overhead trapeze . Medical advice
may be necessary to determine if the use of an overhead trapeze is adequate for the patient's condition or treatment
given .
• To prevent injury to the patient, ensure the trapeze is properly attached to the upper section .
• The overhead trapeze should not be used when in the storage position . This may result in injury to the patient or
damage to the equipment .
• This bed is equipped with a hospital grade plug for protection against shock hazard . It must be plugged directly into
a properly grounded receptacle . Grounding reliability can be achieved only when a hospital grade receptacle is used .
• Shock Hazard - Improper handling of the power cord may result in damage to the power cord and potential shock
hazards . If damage has occurred to the power cord, immediately remove the bed from service, and contact the
appropriate maintenance personnel . Failure to do so could result in serious injury or death .
• Use only hospital grade electric equipment consuming 5A or less with the auxiliary power outlet (optional) . The use
of standard electric equipment may bring the current leakage to an unacceptable level for hospital equipment .
• Serious injury can result if caution is not used when operating the bed . Operate the bed only when all people and
equipment are clear of the electrical and mechanical systems .
• Before using the emergency crank during a power failure, always unplug the unit . An unexpected return of power
could rotate the handle and cause injury .
• Ensure all the connectors stay plugged into the electronic board if it is present on the head casing cover .
• Always apply the brakes when a patient is on the bed (except during transport) or when entering/exiting the bed .
Serious injury could result if the bed moves while a patient is getting on or off the bed . After the brake pedal is
engaged, push on the bed to ensure the brakes are applied .
• To help reduce the number and severity of a potential fall when the patient is unattended, keep the siderails in the
fully raised position and the sleep surface horizontal in its lowest position, unless its medical condition dictates
otherwise . When raising the siderails, be sure that you hear the "click" that signals the locked condition . Pull firmly
on the siderail to ensure it is locked into position .
• When the sleep surface sections are articulated, ensure that all the patient's limbs are within the raised siderails to
avoid patient injury .
• When a patient's condition requires greater safety measures for his/her security, use the lockout controls in the foot
board control panel to inhibit the siderail functions or remove any optional pendant control and install protective pads
on the siderails .
• Improperly adjusted restraint straps can cause serious injury to a patient . It is the responsibility of the attending
medical personnel to determine proper use of the restraint straps .
• Siderails, with or without their padded covers, are not intended to serve as restraint devices to keep patient from
exiting the bed . Siderails are designed to keep a patient from inadvertently rolling off the bed . It is the responsibility
of the attending medical personnel to determine the degree of restraint necessary to ensure a patient will remain
safely in bed . Failure to use the siderails properly could result in serious patient injury .
• To reduce risk of injury, ensure the sleep surface is horizontal and in the lowest position with the siderails fully raised
and locked when moving the bed with a patient in it .
