Safety Tips
Train and educate your staff on the hazards associated with electric beds. Do
not allow personnel to have their entire body below the sleep surface and
within the confines of the bed. Unplug the bed from its power source and
engage the lockout control prior to cleaning or servicing it. If service personnel
need to get under the bed, they must block up the hilow portion as an added
precaution. Ensure that the foot section is properly mounted to the yoke.
We urge you to incorporate these safety tips into your procedures for the safety
of both patients and staff.
Bed Position
To reduce the severity of falls by patients, always leave the bed in the low
position when the patient is unattended.
Siderails
Leave the siderails fully up and locked when the patient is left unattended.
When raising the siderails, be sure that you hear the click that signals the up
and locked condition. Give the siderails a tug to check that they are firmly in
position.
Affinity® Three Birthing Bed and Affinity® Four Birthing Bed Page 1 - 3
Service Manual (MAN272 REV 5)
Safety Tips
Chapter 1: Introduction
Put the casters in the steer mode when moving the bed. This will make the bed
easier to position or transport.
Fluids
When massive spills occur in the area of the P.C. boards, motors, or
transformers, immediately:
4. Have maintenance check out the bed completely. Fluids can short out
controls, making the bed inoperable or cause the bed to operate erratically.
Component failure caused by fluids can even cause the bed to operate
without warning, causing injury.
5. Do not place the bed back into service until it is unquestionably dry and
tested safe to operate.
Water Mattress
The excessive weight associated with water mattresses puts an undue stress on
the motor drives. In most cases, the patient’s weight plus the water mattress
weight exceeds the recommended bed capacity. Even more important is the
fact that water mattresses are subject to rupture, which would allow large
amounts of water to come into contact with the electrical components of the
bed. We recommend not using water mattresses.
Lockout Switch
Whenever a patient or visitor should be restricted from operating the siderail
controls, activate the lockout switch located at the head end of the bed (on the
main frame). The lockout switch is for the convenience of the staff and the
safety of the patient. Use the lockout switch when appropriate.

Safety Tips
CPR Release
Chapter 1: Introduction
1
Only healthcare professionals should use the emergency CPR release. The two
release handles are located under the head section of the bed near the seat
section.
To activate the CPR release, pull the handle away from the bed. Continue to
pull out on the handle until the head section is flat. When this is complete,
attend to the patient. The bed will automatically flatten the head and seat
sections and reset itself to be ready to use after the emergency.
WARNING:
A bed that is transported with the steer caster locked in an incorrect
position can drift from side to side during transport. Personal injury or
equipment damage could occur.
WARNING:
Only facility-authorized maintenance personnel should troubleshoot the
bed. Troubleshooting by unauthorized personnel could result in
personal injury or equipment damage.
WARNING:
Unplug the bed from its power source and disconnect the battery
back-up before checking ohms/resistance measurements. Failure to
disconnect line voltage to the bed can damage the VOM and cause
equipment damage or personal injury.
WARNING:

4.32 Caster Assembly
Chapter 4: Removal, Replacement, and Adjustment Procedures
P3700A—The bed has two casters that have a braking feature. One of these
casters also has a steer feature. The brake/steer caster is located at the left-hand
foot end of the bed (as determined by lying in the bed on one's back). The
brake (only) caster is located at the right-hand head end of the bed. These two
casters may require adjustment after service, or because of normal wear. The
other two casters are basic swivel casters which require no adjustments.
Placing the brake/steer pedal in steer locks the left-hand foot end caster into a
position that is parallel to the bed (as described in chapter 1).
Removal
1. Set the brake/steer pedal to the brake position.
2. Remove the two screws (A) securing the leg cover (B) over the caster (C)
(see figure 4-41 on page 4-82).

General Procedures
Cleaning
WARNING:
Follow the product manufacturer’s instructions. Failure to do so could
result in personal injury or equipment damage.
SHOCK HAZARD:
Unplug the unit from its power source. Failure to do so could result in
personal injury or equipment damage.
SHOCK HAZARD:
Do not expose the unit to excessive moisture which would allow liquid
to pool. Personal injury or equipment damage could occur.
CAUTION:
Do not use harsh cleansers or detergents such as scouring pads and
heavy-duty grease removers, or solvents such as toluene, xylene, and
acetone. Equipment damage could occur.
CAUTION:
Ensure that the metal platform is dry before placing the mattress back
onto the bed. Failure to do so could result in equipment damage.
If there is no visible soilage with possible body fluids, we recommend that you
clean the unit with a mild detergent and warm water. If disinfection is desired,
you may use a combination cleanser/disinfectant as explained in
“Disinfecting” on page 6-2. In either case, ensure that the metal platform is dry
6
before placing the mattress back onto the bed.
Steam Cleaning
Do not use any steam cleaning device on the unit. Excessive moisture can
damage mechanisms in this unit.

Cleaning
Chapter 6: General Procedures
Disinfecting
WARNING:
Adhere to the Infection Control Policies and Procedures from Hill-Rom.
Failure to do so could result in the spread of infection.
When there is visible soilage and also between patient use, we recommend that
you disinfect the unit using an EPA registered (US only), tuberculocidal,
disinfectant.
Dilute the disinfectant as specified on the manufacturer's label.
CAUTION:
Mattress damage caused by improper draping and/or cleaning
procedures is not covered by warranty.
Correct draping techniques are essential in helping to preserve the life of the
mattress. Drapes must be fluid repellent. The full-size, B7831, labor and
delivery drape effectively covers the lower three-quarters of the bedding
throughout labor. Additional pads or towels placed under the patient will keep
fluid from reaching the edges of the drape. This keeps the sheets clean and dry
while preventing fluid exposure to the mattress.
CAUTION:
Standard OB packs and paper drapes will not keep the sheets dry.
Repeated soaking and scrubbing of mattress materials will accelerate wear and
eventually destroy mattress seals, causing fluids to leak into the cushions.

Servicing the Bed
Chapter 6: General Procedures
The bed should be cleaned by wiping a soft dampened cloth over the surface,
followed by wiping with a dry cloth. At no time should a wet cloth be allowed
to lay on the surface. Any liquid spilled on the surface should be wiped up
immediately. Any liquid allowed to lie on the surface unattended may damage
the finish.
WARNING:
Powered bed mechanisms can cause serious injury. Operate the bed
only with persons clear of mechanisms. Failure to do so could result in
personal injury or equipment damage.
WARNING:
Unplug the bed from its power source and engage the lockout control
during routine maintenance or cleaning. Refer to the Affinity® Three
Birthing Bed and Affinity® Four Birthing Bed User Manual (USR025)
and specific sections in this service manual for additional precautions.
Failure to do so could result in personal injury or equipment damage.
WARNING:
Ensure all electrical/mechanical loads are removed prior to
maintenance/repair of the bed’s drive system or other mechanical
assemblies. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or equipment
damage.
When you work with the bed in the high position, set the brakes and place
2 x 4’s between the base frame and lift arms. This will help prevent injury in
case someone accidentally actuates the bed down switch.
If service on the bed requires that it be placed on its side, be sure to store and
pad the siderails to prevent damage. Also, remove the brake/steer pedal to
6
prevent damage.

Lubrication Requirements
Chapter 6: General Procedures
Lubrication Requirements
WARNING:
Follow the product manufacturer’s instructions. Failure to do so could
result in personal injury or equipment damage.
CAUTION:
Do not use silicone-based lubricants. Equipment damage could occur.
WARNING:
Visually inspect the bushings annually. If wear is apparent, replace
them. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or equipment
damage.
Oilite® bearings and bushings are utilized in several places on the system. By
retaining oil, the pores give a self-lubricating quality to the bearings and
bushings. If any silicone-based lubricant is applied to the bearings and
bushings or anywhere else on the system, this self-lubricating quality is
neutralized.
It is safe to apply the following lubricants to the system (see table 6-1 on page
6-5):

Preventive Maintenance
Chapter 6: General Procedures
Preventive Maintenance
WARNING:
Only facility-authorized personnel should perform preventive
maintenance on the bed. Preventive maintenance performed by
unauthorized personnel could cause injury or damage.
The Affinity® Three Birthing Bed and Affinity® Four Birthing Beds require
an effective maintenance program. We recommend that you perform semi-
annual preventive maintenance (PM) along with a quarterly battery check and
testing for Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations
(JCAHO). PM and testing not only meet JCAHO requirements but will help
ensure a long, operative life for the bed. PM will minimize downtime due to
excessive wear.
The following PM schedule (see table 6-2 on page 6-10) guides you through a
normal PM procedure on the bed. During this PM process, check each item on
the schedule, and make the necessary adjustments.
Follow the PM schedule with the corresponding PM checklist (see table 6-3 on
page 6-13). This checklist is designed to keep a running maintenance history
and subsequent repair costs for one bed. However, your facility can modify this
checklist or design another to fit your needs. Two effective ways to reduce
downtime and ensure the patient remains comfortable are keeping close
records and maintaining the bed.
WARNING:
Examine the pivot point fasteners semi-annually. Failure to do so could
cause injury or damage.
1. Inspect the pivot point fasteners (see figure 6-1 on page 6-7).
NOTE:
Depending on what version of bed you have, you may have a pivot point
fastener and block plate, or simply a bracket and bolt.
2. If the pivot point fasteners (A) are finger-loose, or a gap is visible between
the bolt head (B) and the pivot block plate (C), do as follows:
a. Remove the bolt (B or D).
b. Apply Loctite® adhesive to the bolt threads.

Using Loctite® Adhesive
Chapter 6: General Procedures
The resins referred to within this manual usually cure to their hardened state on
metal parts without need of primers. However, the use of a recommended
primer will help degrease the part and leave a light deposit of a catalyst to
speed curing. The temperature of the parts also affects their cure time. At 40F
(4C) it may take weeks to cure, but at 75F (24C), parts cure within the
time length indicated on the bottle.
WARNING:
Use primers with adequate ventilation. Avoid skin contact and
prolonged or repeated breathing of vapors. Do not allow primers to be
trapped under rings, watch bands, etc. Observe all directions on the
primer can. Failure to do so could result in personal injury.
1. Disassemble the parts, remove the old Loctite®, and clean the parts.
Reapply the new Loctite® during reassembly.
