Preventative Maintenance Chapter 2
2. PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
WARNING
When large fluid spills occur in the area of the circuit boards, cables and motors, immediately
unplug the bed power cord from the wall outlet, remove the patient from the bed and clean up
the fluid. Have maintenance completely check the bed. Fluids can have an adverse effect on
operational capabilities of any electrical product. DO NOT put the bed back into service until it is
completely dried and has been thoroughly tested for safe operation. Ensure, among other
things, that the plastic components being used as covers for the siderail mechanism arms and
the foot end casing are removed and that the parts they cover are thoroughly dried.
CAUTION
Do not use harsh cleaners, solvents or detergents. Equipment damage could occur. Do not
steam clean, hose off or ultrasonically clean the bed. Do not immerse any part of the bed. The
bed electrical parts may be damaged by exposure to water.
Germicidal disinfectant, used as directed, and/or Chlorine Bleach products are not considered
mild detergents. These products are corrosive in nature and may cause damage to your bed if
used improperly. If these types of products are used, ensure the beds are wiped with clean
water and thoroughly dried following cleaning. Failure to properly rinse and dry the beds will
leave a corrosive residue on the surface of the bed, possibly causing premature corrosion of
critical components. Failure to follow the above directions when using these types of cleaners
may void this product warranty.
CLEANING BEDS
Hand wash all surfaces of the bed with a soft cloth moistened with a solution of lukewarm water
and a mild detergent.
Wipe the bed clean and dry thoroughly to avoid build up of cleaning solution.
MATTRESS CARE
WARNING
Inspect the mattress after each use. Discontinue use if any cracks or rips, which may allow fluid
to enter the mattress, are found in the mattress cover. Failure to properly clean the mattress, or
dispose of it if defective, may increase the risk of exposure to pathogenic substances and may
bring about diseases to the patient and user.
• Inspection
Implement local policies to address regular care, maintenance, and cleaning of mattresses and
covers. The cover cleaning procedure can be found below and on the bed label.
Inspect the mattress cover inner and outer surfaces and the zip fasteners regularly for signs of
damage. If the mattress cover is heavily stained or soiled, or is torn, remove the mattress from
service.
• Cleaning
Stains: Wash with lukewarm water using a mild detergent. Rinse with water and let dry. For
tough stains, use bleach diluted with ten parts of water.

ANNUAL CHECKLIST
⎯ All fasteners secure.
⎯ Inspect for excessive wear the oil-impregnated bronze shoulder spacers found at the bed
hinge points. Do not lubricate these spacers. Replace as needed.
⎯ Check the grease present on the components detailed in section 2.2, lubricate if needed
(see section 2.2). Lubricate them at least every two years.
⎯ On both sides of the bed, depress fully down the side of the pedal identified with a red
sticker and ensure that the brakes are applied and the bed is immobilized. Toggle the pedal
to neutral and ensure the brakes are released.
⎯ On both sides of the bed, depress fully down the side of the pedal identified with a green
sticker and ensure that the steer wheel is engaged. Toggle the pedal to neutral and ensure
that the steer wheel disengages.
⎯ Siderails move, latch and stow properly.
⎯ All controls of the foot end panel working properly, including LED's.
⎯ Calibrate the scale (see the scale calibration procedure on page 41).
⎯ All siderail controls working properly.
⎯ Ensure that the nurse call (optional) alarm sounds in the nurse station.
⎯ Ensure that the Communication Package (optional) controls operate properly.
⎯ Verify the CPR emergency release using both CPR release handles: raise the Fowler fully
up and, using the CPR handle, lower the Fowler gradually to flat position by pulling, holding
and releasing the handle several times. Ensure the Knee Gatch (if raised) also starts
flattening when the Fowler is completely down. Following the complete lowering of the
Fowler, wait approximately 30 seconds - the time for the Fowler actuator to reset - and verify
that the actuator has indeed reset itself by raising the Fowler fully up.
⎯ Verify the Fowler, Knee Gatch and Hi-lo movements to ensure that the motion interrupt
switch integrated to the four electric actuators is operating properly.
⎯ Auxiliary outlet (option available only with 120V beds) working properly.

21 = Head left load cell is out of range: load cell may be disconnected, faulty or scale board is faulty.
For errors 18 to 21, first proceed to a visual inspection to detect any stuck or broken cable. If there
seems to be no visible problem, then try to invert two load cells on the scale connectors. This will
help to find if the load cell or the scale board is faulty. After inversion, if the error changes, the
problem is with the load cell. Replace the load cell. However, if the error stays on the same channel,
then the problem is with the scale board. Replace scale board. In both cases, the bed has to be
recalibrated
