Safety Notes
Always raise the siderails whenever the patient is lying on the bed in supine
position.
Always lock all casters and align parallel to the patient before use.
Take special care to lock the casters securely when articulating the bed or when
transferring the patient to or from the bed.
Do not confuse the head end and foot end of the bed when placing the patient in
the bed.
The mattress should be sufficiently wide enough to prevent any part of the
patient’s body from falling between the side rails and the mattress.
Make sure all persons and objects are clear of the bed when raising or
lowering the bed. Do not place arms or head into frame while
operating.
Moving parts. Watch for pinch points. Keep fingers, arms, legs, and
objects clear of bed when any mechanism is in motion.
Keep all objects out from under the bed. Certain parts under the bed raise and
lower when the bed is in motion. Make sure there is nothing under the bed to
interfere with proper bed operations.
Do not allow the patient to sit on the bed when it is in the highest position.
Lower the bed to the lowest position before allowing patient to sit on the bed.
Equipment not suitable for use in presence of flammable mixtures
Bed should be left in its lowest position when unattended in order to reduce the
risk of injury due to falls while getting into or out of the bed, or while lying on
the bed.
When a patient’s condition could lead to patient entrapment, the mattress
support platform should be left in the flat position while unattended.
Handset must not be accessible to the patient.
Bed does not provide Trendelenburg position.

Safety Notes
Weight Limit: Never exceed the safe working load of 650 pounds. Exceeding
weight limit may cause bed to fail. The capacity label is on the Back Rest and on
the UDI number label. Safe working load includes the weight of the patient, the
mattress, and any accessories.
Power Requirements: Electrical hazard may occur if device is plugged into
inadequate power supply. A power source of 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hertz with a
capacity of at least 3.9 Amperes must be available to operate the bed. A three
wire grounded receptacle must be supplied. A GFCI is recommended.
Do not service this device without first unplugging the power cord.
Make sure the control module and the handset cords are properly positioned
before operating the bed. Do not allow either of these cords to get caught in the
moving members of the bed.
Do not operate this device if the power cord or any of the cords between the
control module and the associated parts are cut, frayed or loosely connected.
Do not use a bed with any missing or damaged parts.
Never disassemble your Bariatric bed. If problems are found, contact Gendron customer
