patient and in line with local policy.
When assessing the suitability of a mattress for use with split side rails, the
following factors should be considered:
• The bed is designed to provide an acceptable split side rail height
when used with a foam mattress up to 18cm thick.
• Specialist powered air / foam replacement mattresses will typically
envelop the patient when loaded and can generally be deeper than a
foam mattress without compromising safety. Other makes of specialist
mattress replacement must be assessed individually prior to use to
verify sufficient clearance is maintained.
• Mattress overlays are not recommended for use with this bed.
• To ensure compliance with IEC 60601-2-52, an approved Arjo
mattress should be used. Compliance with this standard when using
other mattresses must be validated by the user.

between the backrest and chassis when the backrest is being lowered. Make sure that
the space between the chassis and backrest is free of persons, limbs, bedding or
other objects.
Backrest These buttons raise and lower the backrest.
The backrest will pause when it reaches an angle approximately 30º above
the horizontal.

Thigh section These buttons raise and lower the thigh section.
When the thigh section is first raised from the flat position, the calf section
will be in the Fowler position (angled downwards).
To change the calf section to the vascular (horizontal) position, refer to the
section “Adjusting the calf position” on page 36.

Auto-Chair The Auto-Chair up button simultaneously raises the backrest and thigh
sections, pausing when the backrest reaches 45º. Continue to hold the
button down to lower the foot end of the mattress platform into a chair
position.
If the backrest angle is greater than 45º, it will return to 45º to prevent the
patient from tipping forwards.
The Auto-Chair down button returns the mattress platform to a flat and level
position.
Tilt angle
This button lowers the head end of the mattress platform (Trendelenburg
position).

This button lowers the foot end of the mattress platform (reverse
Trendelenburg position).

NOTE
When returning from a tilted position, the mattress platform will pause at the level (no tilt)
position.

CPR position 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.

34
Function lockout
Function lockout can be used to prevent operation of the controls, e.g. when
inadvertent movement of the mattress platform could injure the patient.

To lock (prevent) or unlock (allow) functions:

Press the Function Lock button. The indicator above the button will light.

Press the ACP button(s) corresponding to the function(s) to be locked or

unlocked. The “lock” indicator LED above each function button shows its
current status:
LED on = function locked
LED off = function unlocked.
When all functions are locked or unlocked as required, press the Function
Lock button again or wait for five seconds. The indicator above the Function
Lock button will go out and the lockout settings are stored.

NOTE
When a function is locked, any associated functions are automatically disabled, e.g. locking
the backrest also disables Bio-Contour and Auto-Chair.

NOTE
Function lockout settings are retained if the bed is disconnected from the electricity supply.

35
Adjusting the calf position
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 (1) until
it latches (2).

Fig. 20 - Changing from Fowler position (left) to vascular

To return the calf section to the Fowler position:

Use the caregiver controls or ACP to lower the thigh section to the flat
position; then raise the thigh section again.

WARNING
Take care when lifting the calf section. Observe local manual handling guidelines.

36
Backup battery

CAUTION

To ensure the battery is kept fully charged and prevent damage to the battery, the bed
should be connected to the electricity supply at all times during normal use.
The battery is intended for short term use only. Its life will be reduced if it is used to
power the bed for long periods.
The backup battery allows operation of the bed for short periods when it is
disconnected from the electricity supply or in emergency situations when the
electricity supply is not available.
The battery’s charge level is indicated as follows:

If an intermittent warning tone (beep-beep-beep) sounds when operating

the bed, the battery is between 75% and 100% charged.
In this condition all bed functions remain operational.

If a continuous warning tone sounds when operating the bed, the battery is
between 10% and 75% charged.
In this condition, all bed functions remain operational.

If the ACP battery indicator lights red, the battery is less than 10% charged.
In this condition, all functions are locked.

37
Recharging the To recharge the battery, connect the bed to the electricity supply. Allow at
backup battery least eight hours to recharge the battery when it is completely discharged.
While the battery is recharging, the ACP battery indicator lights yellow. The
indicator will go out when the battery is fully charged.

WARNING
If the battery is left discharged for long periods, its operational life will be reduced.
The battery must only be recharged using the built-in charger. Do not use a separate
charger or power supply.
The backup battery must be ventilated while recharging. Do not cover the battery vent
hole or obstruct the area around it.

Low power When the bed is disconnected from mains power, it enters a low power
mode mode to conserve battery power. In this state, the underbed lights, the
indicators on the control panels and the weighing system display are turned
off.
Pressing any of the control buttons brings the bed out of low power mode.
The bed will return to low power mode two minutes after the last control
button was pressed.

Duty cycle Continuous operation of the controls may exceed the duty cycle of the bed’s
lockout electrical system, causing the indicators above the buttons to flash. After 30
seconds, the indicators will light and all functions are locked.
If this happens, wait for at least 18 minutes then follow the unlocking
procedure described in the section “Function lockout” on page 35.

5. Advanced Features

Patient weighing system

The controls for the weighing system are located on the foot end split side
rails.

Fig. 21 - Patient weighing system controls

Display: indicates the patient’s weight in kilograms. It can also be used to

show other information, e.g. bed section angles.

Weigh: this button is used to calculate and display the current patient
weight.

Auto Compensation (tare): this button allows items to be added to or

removed from the bed without affecting the indicated patient weight.

Zero: this button is used to reset the weighing system when the bed is first
set up and before a new patient uses the bed.

Select Weight Display: this button allows the patient weight to be displayed
rounded to the nearest 100g or 500g.

WARNING
The weighing system should only be used by staff trained in the correct use of the
weighing function.
The weighing system should only be used in closely supervised environments, where
factors influencing patient weight (such as additions to the bed) can be controlled as
described in the following instructions for use.

39
Accuracy The weighing system is very sensitive and can be affected by a number of
external factors. For best performance, observe the following precautions:
• Ensure the bed is on a flat, level surface.
• Ensure the transport locking bolts and washers have been removed
before use – refer to page 7.
• Position the bed so that it is clear of obstructions, e.g. walls, furniture,
cables and curtains.
• Ensure the patient is fully on the mattress during weighing.
• While weighing is taking place, the patient should keep as still as
possible and other persons should keep clear of the bed.
• Ensure that the patient, pillows and bed linen do not touch the head
board during weighing.

CAUTION

Any item attached to or placed on any part of the bed other than the head board
(Fig 22, Item 1) and head end lifting pole accessory sockets (Fig 22, Item 2) will
influence the patient weighing system.
Make sure the mains cable is free of the head board and any fixed part of the bed. If
the cable becomes trapped it can affect the accuracy of the weighing system.

Areas that do influence patient weighing
Areas that do not influence patient weighing
Fig. 22 - Areas of patient weighing influence
NOTE
Use the AUTO COMPENSATION feature before adding or removing any items (eg: urine
bags, iv poles, mattress pumps, bed-clothes etc.).

40
Initialisation After connecting the bed to the electricity supply, the weighing system must
be initialised as follows:
1. Place the mattress, bed linen and all necessary accessories on
the bed. The patient must not be on the bed at this point.

2. Press the Zero button once.

3. After a few seconds the display will read .

4. The patient can now get onto the bed

5. The bed cannot be re-zeroed once a patient is on the bed. Use

the Auto Compensation feature if adding or removing items from
the bed such as linen or accessories.

WARNING
The weighing system is intended to provide reference data only. The weighing system
is not intended to provide readings upon which medication dosage decisions are
made.

CAUTION

The weighing system MUST be zeroed every time a new patient is to be placed on the
bed.

CAUTION

The weighing system MUST be zeroed every time a mattress is changed.

CAUTION

The weighing system cannot be zeroed if a mattress or accessories weighing more

than 35kg are fitted. To ensure the bed can be zeroed correctly, only use Arjo
approved mattresses.

41
Weighing To calculate and display the patient’s weight:
1. With the patient lying centrally on the bed, press the Weigh
button once.

2. The display will show a moving circular pattern until a stable

weight reading is obtained.

3. The patient’s weight will be displayed for ten seconds then the
display will go blank.

The patient’s weight is usually displayed rounded to the nearest 500g; this
can be temporarily changed to 100g by pressing the Select Weight
Display button. The display will revert to 500g next time the Weigh button
is pressed.

NOTE
The 100g weight display should only be used for comparative readings.

Auto The Auto Compensation facility allows weight (up to a maximum of 100kg)
Compensation to be added to or removed from the bed, without affecting the indicated
patient weight.
1. With the patient lying on the bed, press the Auto Compensation
button once.

2. The display will show a moving circular pattern until a stable

weight reading is obtained.

3. The display will show to indicate that the system is in Auto

Compensation mode.

4. Add or remove accessories, bed linen, pillows, etc. as required.

5. Press the Auto Compensation button again.

6. The display will show a moving circular pattern for a few seconds
then revert to showing the patient’s weight..

CAUTION

The weighing system requires periodic calibration to ensure accuracy. See

“Preventive maintenance” on page 49.

42
Error Codes Error codes are shown on the display. They are used to indicate a problem
with the weighing system; this may be due to an operator error or a possible
fault condition.

manual or contact an approved Arjo service agent.

Angle When operating the controls for backrest angle or tilt, the weighing system
indication display shows the approximate angle in degrees of the selected function.
Angles are shown relative to the floor, so the displayed values of backrest
angle and thigh angle change when the mattress platform is tilted.
The tilt angle is shown as a positive value for head down tilt and a negative
value for foot down tilt.

43
VariZone™ patient movement detection
The patient movement detection system can be set to alarm when
undesired movement of the patient occurs. The sensitivity of the patient
movement detection, relative to the centre of the mattress platform, can be
varied incrementally.
The controls for the patient movement detection system are located on the
foot end split side rails.

Fig. 23 - Patient movement detection controls

In Bed: this button activates/deactivates patient movement detection and

increases the sensitivity of the system.

Patient movement detection threshold display: an indicator shows the

current system status and the selected sensitivity of patient movement
detection.

Egress: this button activates/deactivates patient movement detection and

decreases the sensitivity of the system.

WARNING
The patient movement detection function should be checked periodically for correct
operation and before each new patient uses the bed.
Mattresses that are not approved by Arjo should be validated by the user to ensure
correct operation with the VariZone system.

NOTE
Adjusting the mattress platform profile while patient movement detection is active can trigger
an alarm if patient movement detection is set to a high sensitivity.

Operation Before activating patient movement detection, make sure that:

• The patient’s weight has been measured and recorded.
• All additional items (e.g. accessories) have been accounted for using
the Auto Compensation function.
• The weighing system display is blank.

44
 WARNING
Before using patient movement detection, verify that the alarm can be easily heard by
caregivers, e.g. at the nurse’s station.

To activate patient movement detection, press either the In Bed button or

Egress button for two seconds.
The threshold display indicator will flash to show the alarm threshold level.
The further to the left the flashing indicator is, the lower the alarm threshold,
and small movements of the patient in bed will be detected.
The further to the right the flashing indicator is, the higher the alarm
threshold, and only large movements, such as the patient exiting the bed,
will be detected.
Lower Higher
threshold threshold

To increase the patient movement detection threshold:

Press and hold the Egress button; the flashing indicator will move towards
the right. When the required threshold is reached, release the button.
To reduce the patient movement detection threshold:
Press and hold the In Bed button; the flashing indicator will move towards
the left. When the required threshold is reached, release the button.

After a few seconds the indicator will stop flashing and remain lit to show that
patient movement detection is active.
If movement of the patient above the set threshold is detected, an audible
alarm will sound and the threshold indicator will flash.
To cancel the alarm or deactivate patient movement detection:
Press the In Bed button or Egress button once.
The alarm will be silenced and the threshold display indicator will go out to
show that movement detection is deactivated.

45
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.

2 2
1

Fig. 24 - Anti-entrapment sensors and beam

There are four infra-red sensors (1), one above each castor, which
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 .Upward movement of the mattress platform is
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.

46
6. Product Care

WARNING
Disconnect the bed from the electricity supply before starting any cleaning or
maintenance activity. The bed will still operate on battery power if the function has not
been locked on the ACP.

Mattress platform sections

The four mattress platform sections (backrest, seat, thigh and calf) can be
removed by pulling them upwards off the mattress platform frame.

Lift off the calf extension sheet (1) before removing the calf section (2).

2 1

Fig. 25 - Mattress platform sections (top view)

To replace each section, make sure it is correctly positioned on the mattress

platform frame then press down firmly until it snaps into place.

Replace the calf extension sheet (1) by clipping it over the end of the
mattress platform frame.

47
Decontamination

WARNING
Do not allow the mains plug or power supply cord to get wet.

CAUTION

Do not use abrasive compounds or pads, or phenol-based disinfectants.

Do not use jet stream cleaning or wash tunnels.
Do not remove grease from the actuator pistons.

NOTE
These instructions also apply to accessories but not to mattresses. For lifting straps and
handles, refer to the manufacturer’s instructions supplied with the product.
The bed should be cleaned and disinfected weekly, and before a new
patient uses the bed.

Cleaning Remove the mattress and all accessories from the bed.
The head/foot boards and mattress platform sheets should be removed
from the bed for cleaning.
Wearing suitable protective clothing, clean all surfaces with a disposable
cloth moistened in hand hot water and a neutral detergent.
Start by cleaning the upper sections of the bed and work along all horizontal
surfaces. Work methodically towards the lower sections of the bed and
clean the wheels last. Take extra care to clean areas that may trap dust or
dirt.
Wipe over with a new disposable cloth moistened with clean water, and dry
with disposable paper towels.
Allow the cleaned parts to dry before replacing the mattress.

Disinfecting After cleaning the bed as described above, wipe all surfaces with sodium
dichloroisocyanurate (NaDCC) at a concentration of 1,000 parts per million
(0.1%) of available chlorine.
In the case of pooling body fluids, e.g. blood, the concentration of NaDCC
should be increased to 10,000 parts per million (1%) of available chlorine.

Use of other Arjo recommends sodium dichloroisocyanurate (NaDCC) as a disinfectant

disinfectants because it is effective, stable and has a fairly neutral pH. Many other
disinfectants are used in healthcare facilities, and it is not possible for Arjo
to test each one to determine whether it may affect the appearance or
performance of the bed.
If facility protocols require the use of a disinfectant other than NaDCC (e.g.
diluted bleach or hydrogen peroxide), it should be used with care and in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
