This product is a variable height, adjustable mattress platform, which will provide comfort and convenience for residents/patients and caregivers in long term care settings.

The MAXIMUM SAFE WORKING LOAD for the APS 9000 Bed with weight evenly distributed, including bedding, resident/patient, support surface, and all accessories, is 600 lbs.

NEVER operate the bed if a Power Cord or Plug is damaged or not working properly. Contact qualified Service Personnel for examination and repair. Always unplug the Power Cord when performing any mainte- nance on the bed.

DO NOT open assemblies such as the Actuators, Hand Control, or Control Box. If unauthorized personnel perform work on these components, the manufacturer’s warranty becomes void.

DO NOT use unauthorized parts, accessories, or adaptors other than those specified/authorized by GF Health Products, Inc.

When operating the High/Low, Knee, or Back Functions of the bed, ALWAYS ensure that the confined individual is positioned properly within the confines of the bed. DO NOT let any extremities protrude over the side or between the bed rails when performing these functions.

DO NOT lower the bed when objects are beneath it. Failure to inspect under the bed can result in damage to property or personal injury.

The bed’s Pendant Cord MUST BE ROUTED AND SECURED PROPERLY to ensure it does not become entangled and eventually severed during use. Also make sure all electrical cords DO NOT get tangled around the bed, side rails, or legs during transport or normal operation of the bed.

When using nasal- or masked-type administering equipment, all oxygen or air tubing MUST BE ROUTED AND SECURED PROPERLY to ensure that the tubing does not become entangled and eventually severed during the normal operation of the bed.

!The bed should ALWAYS be left in its lowest position when unattended to reduce the risk of injury while getting in or out of the bed.

!Keep all moving parts free of obstructions (i.e. blankets/ sheets, heating blankets/pads, wiring, etc.)

DO NOT use the assist devices as push handles for moving

!the bed. Assist devices can be deformed or broken if excessive side pressure is exerted. Assist devices are not meant for patients considered as high risks for entrapment (i.e. patients with pre-existing conditions such as confusion, restlessness, lack of muscle control, altered mental status, either organic or medicinal, or a combi- nation thereof). Additional safety measures should be considered for such high-risk patients.

!NEVER permit more than one (1) person on/in the bed at any time.

Body weight should be evenly distributed over the

!sleeping surface of the bed. DO NOT allow the patient to lay, sit, or lean in such a way that their entire body weight is placed only on the raised head or foot sections of the bed. This especially applies when repositioning or transferring a patient in or out of the bed. Increased risk may occur when the patient’s size and/or weight are inappropriate for the bed’s dimensions or weight capacity.

The bed is intended for use, storage, and transport within

!a temperature range of -40˚C to +60˚C. It has a water- resistance rating of IPX4 and IS NOT to be power- washed or submersed.

operating Conditions

Operation of the bed is based on the following conditions: Ambient Temperature of +10˚C to +40˚C; Relative Humidity of 30% to 75% (Non-condensing); Atmospheric Pressure of 700hPa to 1060hPa; and a Splash Protection of IEC 60529.

storage

Storage of the bed is based on the following conditions: Ambient Temperature of -10˚C to 70˚C; Relative Humidity of 10% to 100%; and an Atmospheric Pressure of 500hPa to 1060hPa.

Radio Frequency Interference (RFI)

RFI influences most electronic equipment. Caution should be exercised with regard to the use of portable communications equipment in the area around such equipment. If RFI causes erratic behavior, shut the bed off immediately. Leave it off while the transmission is in progress.
