Areas of use General medicine, general and specialist surgery, care
of the elderly, HDU, ITU, coronary care and oncology.

Indications The bed is appropriate for high dependency patients

who pose a movement and handling risk and / or
whose clinical condition requires that they are
positioned with minimal physical handling.
Patients with a moderate amount of independence can,
at the carer’s discretion, use the controls to adjust their
own position.
The mattress platform can be positioned to assist with
clinical procedures such as intubation; contact
ArjoHuntleigh for further information.
Contra- The total safe working
indications load of the bed is 250kg.

The bed is intended for use by patients over the age of

twelve years. The age, size and condition of the patient
must be assessed by a clinically qualified person
before using the bed.

WARNING
The use of head down tilt (Trendelenburg) or foot down tilt
(reverse Trendelenburg) may be contra-indicated for certain
medical conditions.
The tilt facility should only be used under the guidance of a
clinically qualified person after assessment of the patient’s
condition.

7 746-449-SA-5
3. Installation
Weighing Position the bed on a flat, level surface and apply the
system brakes (refer to Chapter 4).
Remove the four transport locking bolts (A) and
washers (B); there are two locking bolts at the head
end of the bed and two at the foot end.
Retain the bolts and washers in case the bed needs to
be transported at a later date.

B B
A A

Removing the transport bolts

Caution
To prevent damage to the weighing mechanism, replace the
transport locking bolts and washers before transporting the
bed by road. This is not necessary when moving the bed
short distances over smooth surfaces.

8 746-449-SA-5
 Caution
Before using the bed, make sure that the “Power In” rating
shown on the specification label (see page 5) is compatible
with the local electricity supply.
Electrical Connect the electrical supply cable to a suitable outlet
supply socket.
The electrical supply cable is fitted with a plastic hook.
When not in use or before moving the bed, clip the
hook (C) onto the head end panel, coil up the cable and
place it over the hook.

Cable storage and equipotential terminal

WARNING
Make sure that the coiled electrical supply cable is not
stretched excessively.
Do not allow the electrical supply cable to trail on the floor
where it may cause a trip hazard.
Make sure that the electrical supply cable does not become
entangled with moving parts of the bed.
Before moving the bed, disconnect the electrical supply cable
from the electricity supply and store it as shown above.

9 746-449-SA-5
 Caution
Do not allow the electrical supply cable to touch the bed frame
as this may affect the accuracy of the weighing system.

An equipotential terminal (D) is located at the head end of

the bed, above the roller buffer on the patient’s right side.
When other electrical equipment is within patient / user
reach, the potential difference between this equipment can
be equalised by interconnecting the equipotential
terminals of each piece of equipment.

Caution
Before the first use, or if the bed has been unused for more than
three months, connect the bed to the electricity supply for 24
hours to recharge the backup battery. Failure to do this may
reduce the life of the battery.
Model 9000D beds should be positioned with the roller buffers at
least 20cm from the rear wall to prevent the head end panel
striking the wall when the bed is in head down tilt
(Trendelenburg).

Recommended positioning for Model 9000D

4. Operation
Safety  Always use a mattress of the correct size and type. A
range of suitable pressure reducing and pressure
relieving mattresses is available from ArjoHuntleigh.
 To reduce the risk of injury due to falls, leave the bed at
minimum height when the patient is unattended.
 Where risk assessment indicates that a patient is at high
risk of entrapment owing to their medical condition or
other circumstances, and where there is no medical
benefit from their being left in a contoured position,
place the mattress platform in the flat position when the
patient is left unattended.
 Patients should not be left in the Trendelenburg position
when unattended.
 It is recommended to use the Function Lockout facility
on the Attendant Control Panel (ACP) to prevent
unintended movement.
 When the bed is operated, make sure that obstacles such
as bedside furniture do not restrict movement.
 Before operating the bed, make sure that the patient is
positioned correctly to avoid entrapment or imbalance.
 Always apply the brakes when the bed is stationary.
 Keep these instructions in a safe place – you may need
to refer to them later.

11 746-449-SA-5
Brakes and There are four linked brake levers, two at either end of the
steering bed. Each lever has a red pedal and a green pedal.
 Red pedal down - brakes are applied on all four castors.
 Lever horizontal - all four castors can rotate and swivel.
 Green pedal down – the steering castor is locked so that it
cannot swivel; this is the head end castor on the patient’s
right unless otherwise specified.
When moving the bed, push it in the direction of travel so
that the castors are all in line; then press the green pedal
down to engage the steering castor. Push the bed from the
opposite end to where the steering castor is located.

Safety sides

WARNING
Safety sides must only be used with a mattress of the correct
size and which is approved for use with the bed.
The maximum recommended mattress thickness for use with
safety sides is 180mm.
The clinically qualified person responsible should consider the
age, size and condition of the patient before allowing the use of
safety sides.
Safety sides are not intended to restrain patients who make a
deliberate attempt to exit the bed.
Ensure that the locking mechanism is securely engaged when
the safety sides are left in the raised position.

Safety side contact points are identified by this symbol.

Keep hands and fingers away from these areas.

When choosing bed and mattress combinations, it is important to assess the

use of safety sides based on clinical assessment of each individual patient
and in line with local policy.
When assessing the suitability of a mattress for use with safety sides, the
following factors should be considered:
 The bed is designed to provide an acceptable safety side height when
used with a foam mattress up to 180mm 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. All ArjoHuntleigh specialist
mattress replacements will maintain sufficient clearance between patients
and safety side tops to preserve the function of the safety side. Other
makes of specialist mattress replacement must be assessed individually
prior to use to verify sufficient clearance is maintained.
 When using a powered mattress overlay on top of a foam mattress, it may
be necessary (based on risk assessment) to use a lower profile foam
mattress to maintain a 180mm combination height.

Anti-entrapment system
Overview On the base of the bed an infra red transmitter/receiver (P)
is located above each castor. These generate an invisible
beam around the perimeter of the bed that forms the basis
of the anti-entrapment system.

Anti-entrapment beam
Operation The anti-entrapment indicator on the ACP is normally lit
green. If the anti-entrapment beam is interrupted, the
indicator changes to red and downward movement of the
mattress platform is prevented until the obstruction is
removed.
If the anti-entrapment indicator is lit red when no
obstruction is present, this may indicate a fault. Contact
ArjoHuntleigh or an approved service agent.

 The anti-entrapment system may be triggered if the beam is

interrupted by bed clothes etc.

WARNING
Clean the lenses of the infra red receiver/transmitter units
regularly using a soft dry cloth.

29 746-449-SA-5
Battery operation
The backup battery is automatically switched on if the bed
is disconnected from the electricity supply. The battery
provides emergency operation of all powered functions for
short periods of time, e.g. while the bed is being moved
between wards.
When the bed is operating from the backup battery, the
control system indicates the battery status as follows.
If an intermittent warning tone (beep-beep-beep) sounds
when operating the bed, the battery is fully charged. In
this condition all bed functions remain operational.

If a continuous warning tone sounds when operating the

bed, the battery is at low charge.
In this condition, all functions except CPR and Tilt will be
disabled five seconds after the last key is pressed. The
other functions can be temporarily reinstated by pressing
the Function Lockout key once.

If the ACP battery indicator lights red, the battery is fully

discharged. In this condition, all functions are disabled.

Patient weighing system

 Local regulations governing Non Automatic Weighing

Instruments may require the weighing system to be periodically
inspected and verified by an approved person.
Overview The weighing system is based around four load cells
installed in the bed frame. The electrical outputs from
these load cells are integrated in a load converter and the
result passed to the user interface.
Accuracy The weighing system is very sensitive and can be affected
by a number of external factors. For best performance,
observe the following precautions:
 Install the bed on a flat, level surface.
 Remove the transport locking bolts and washers before
use – refer to Chapter 3, Installation.
 Position the bed so that it is clear of obstructions, e.g.
walls, furniture, cables and curtains.
 Ensure the patient is positioned centrally on the bed.
 While weighing is taking place, the patient should keep
as still as possible and other persons should keep clear
of the bed.
 Ensure that pillows and bed linen do not touch the head
end panel during weighing (this does not apply to
model 9000D).
Initialisation When the bed is first connected to the electricity supply,
the display will indicate COLD for approximately two
minutes until the weighing system stabilises.
Before using the weighing system it must be initialised as
follows:

Place the mattress, bed linen and all necessary accessories

on the bed.

Press the Enable key followed by the Zero key.

The indicator above the Zero key will light green for a
few seconds before the display reads zero (0.0).

Place the patient on the bed.

32 746-449-SA-5
  The zero point can only be set if the load on the bed is 25kg or
less above the factory calibrated zero.
If the user attempts to set the zero point more than once,
the display will show error code E001. To clear the error,
disconnect the bed from the electricity supply for ten
seconds; when power is restored, the zero point will revert
to the previous setting.

Weighing

Press the Enable key followed by the Weigh key.

The display will show a moving circular pattern until a

stable weight reading is obtained.
The patient’s weight will be displayed for ten seconds
then the display will go blank.

The weight is displayed rounded to the nearest 500g; this

can be temporarily changed to 100g by pressing the Select
Weight Display key. The display will revert to 500g next
time the Weigh key is pressed.

 The 100g weight display should only be used for comparative

readings.

Auto The Auto compensation facility allows weight to be added

compensation to or removed from the bed, without affecting the
indicated patient weight.

To use Auto compensation:

With the patient lying on the bed, press the Enable key
followed by the Auto Compensation key.

The display will indicate AUTO.

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

Press the Enable key followed by the Auto

Compensation key. The indicators above the keys will go
out and the display will show the patient’s weight as
described above.

33 746-449-SA-5
  Auto compensation allows the addition or removal of weights up
to 100kg.

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.

Patient egress detection
Overview Patient egress detection uses data from the weighing
system to determine if the patient has left the bed.
The egress detection alarm is triggered when the measured
weight falls by 50% or more for longer than two seconds;
this helps to prevent false alarms, particularly if the
patient is restless.
Operation To enable patient egress detection:
With the patient lying on the bed, press the Enable key
followed by the Patient Egress key. The indicator above
the Patient Egress key will light green to indicate that the
system is active.

If the patient gets out of bed, an alarm will sound and the
indicator above the Patient Egress key will light red.

To cancel the alarm or disable egress detection:

Press the Enable key followed by the Patient Egress key.
The audible alarm will cease and the indicator above the
Patient Egress key will go out.

Alarm volume The volume (loudness) of the patient egress alarm can be
adjusted so that the alarm can be heard at the nurse’s
station.
To adjust the volume of the egress alarm:
Press the Enable key, then press the Alarm Volume Set
key repeatedly until the desired alarm volume is achieved.
The lights on the alarm volume indicator show the alarm
volume level as follows:

LOW MEDIUM HIGH

By default, the alarm volume is set to HIGH.

7. Decontamination

WARNING
Disconnect the bed from the electricity supply before carrying
out decontamination procedures.

 These instructions also apply to accessories but not to

mattresses or safety side pads.
Cleaning Wearing suitable protective clothing, clean all surfaces
with a disposable cloth soaked in a neutral detergent and
hand hot water.
The head and foot end panels, and mattress platform
sheets, can be removed from the bed for cleaning.
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.
Rinse 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.

Caution
Do not use abrasive compounds or pads.
Do not use phenol-based disinfectant solutions.

This product is subject to wear and tear during use. To ensure that it
continues to perform within its original specification, preventive
maintenance procedures should be carried out at the intervals shown.

WARNING
This list indicates the minimum level of preventive
maintenance recommended by the manufacturer. More
frequent inspections should be carried out when the product
is subjected to heavy use or aggressive environments, or
where required by local regulations.
