Page 4 194412(13) - Hill-Rom 900 Accella Bed - Instructions For Use

 Before installing the bed for the first time or after bringing the bed and its accessories

specifications
Introduction,
out of storage:
• ensure that the bed and its various parts are at room temperature.
• only connect the bed to a mains electric power supply with earth protection (see
“Electrical safety” page 7),
• the power plug must be accessible to disconnect the bed,
• wait 12 hours until the battery is fully charged before using the bed without the
mains power supply,
• make sure that all the moving parts are in good working order,
• check the time and language settings,
• make sure that the bed has been cleaned and disinfected (see “Decontaminating
the bed” page 85).

Risk prevention
General recommendations

In general:
• check that nothing (e.g. objects, accessories, power cable, maintenance
cable or nurse call cable) or any persons (e.g. children, limbs) will interfere
with the movement of the mobile parts of the bed before actuating them.
An intermittent beep sounds when one of the bed’s movements is hindered.
• during a movement or combination of movements of a mobile part of the
bed (eg, backrest, sleep surface, siderail), be vigilant (for oneself, the
patient or any other person) on the risks of pinching or crushing between
moving parts or with a fixed part.
• always check (e.g. to and fro movements) that the various locking
mechanisms are in good working order (e.g. siderails, extensions, brakes).
• sufficiently qualified nursing staff determines the usage condition suitable
for the various functions and the degree of supervision to ensure that the
patient uses the bed safely.

When the patient is left unattended:

• apply the brakes to prevent any risks of falling, especially if the patient
leans on the bed when getting in or out,
• leave the sleep surface in the lowest position to avoid serious
consequences in the event of falling,
• use the siderails to secure the patient and reduce the risk of falling
accidentally,
• lock any function that, if misused, could worsen existing injuries or
pathologies, or even result in bodily injury,
• never leave the bed in the Trendelenburg position.

Never modify the bed without Hill-Rom's prior written consent. Alterations could
result in injury to the patient or damage to the bed.
Only use manufacturer's parts and accessories.

194412(13) - Hill-Rom 900 Accella Bed - Instructions For Use Page 5

 Never place objects or equipment on the chassis or use it to support a person.
Do not use of the bed with loads in excess of the safe working load.
Notice to Users and/or Patients:
Any serious incident that has occurred in relation to the device, should be reported to
the manufacturer and the Competent Authority of the Member State in which the user
and/or patient is established.
Recommendations for the siderails
In the case of patients suffering from particular behavioral difficulties (e.g., agitation,
mental confusion, loss of sense of direction, obsessive behavior, old patients, weakness,
etc.), properly trained medical staff should ascertain how the siderails should be used
(irrespective of the model or type), whether the patient should be monitored closely or
immobilized and whether the patient helpers should be left in position, in order to
ensure that patients use the bed in complete safety.
Certain national health authorities have issued guidelines risks to patients and the
reduction of these hazards, as indicated below.
It is recommended that patients at risk be identified in each establishment or ward so
that the safety measures most appropriate to their particular needs can be
implemented.
One measure which has already proved effective is to draw up a protocol specifying:
1. situations and conditions for siderail use and authorized mattress type or model,
2. for all patient monitoring procedures, both for restrained and unrestrained
patients, including during intervals,
3. circumstances under which patients must be restrained according to the
instructions and recommendations of the manufacturer of the said restraining
devices.
The siderails are designed to help reduce the risk of patients falling out of bed
accidentally. They are not designed to restrain or immobilize the patient. Restraining
straps or other devices must not be fastened to them.
Recommendations for the mattresses
Hill-Rom shall not be held liable for any problems occurring if the mattress used is not
included in the list of equipment recommended by Hill-Rom (see “References of
recommended mattresses” page 22).
Despite the protective height above the mattress and the top of the siderail, patients
can still potentially fall or become trapped in the spaces around the mattress.
Use of a mattress thicker than the thickness recommended in “References of
recommended mattresses” page 22 may reduce the effectiveness of the siderails.
Thicker mattresses can increase the risk of falling and shorter or narrower mattresses
can increase the risk of patients becoming trapped. In such cases, the patient must be
monitored closely.
As assessed by the “Hospital Bed Safety Workgroup” guide and the standard EN 60601-
2-52, the mattress label on page 20 lists the mattresses recommended for use on the
Hill-Rom 900 Accella to offer the safest conditions. The therapeutic benefits of the other

Page 6 194412(13) - Hill-Rom 900 Accella Bed - Instructions For Use

 therapeutic mattresses listed in page 20 outweigh the residual risk of entrapment or fall

specifications
Introduction,
incurred by their use.

Other mattresses may be used, but the manufacturer must always be consulted to
make sure that the bed/mattress/siderail combination does not affect the bed's
performance, its suitability for use or its safety characteristics.

If the bed is fitted with an electrically powered air mattress, the power cord must be
routed so as to prevent it from being cut by the moving parts of the bed.

Users must check the compatibility of the patient's weight and the accessories
placed on the bed and the mattress system in view of the specifications of the
medical bed and the mattress system.
If the mattress power cord is unplugged, it is advisable to store it on the support
provided by the mattress supplier.
Recommendations for the function lockouts
The electrical function management control prevents any unintended bed movements
that might cause injury to the patient.

It is highly recommended that functional lock out should be used whenever a patient is
undergoing examination or treatment or when the bed is being serviced or moved.
Functions should also be locked out when the patient is left unattended and if the
nursing staff believes that the patient is not capable of operating the controls
independently in safety.
It is thus the responsibility of the nursing staff to authorize the patient to use certain bed
functions, including the HiLow.
The Trendelenburg / Reverse Trendelenburg, Boost*, chair* and CPR* functions must only
be accessible to caregivers.

Electrical safety
When direct intravascular or intracardiac connections are in use, the electric
potentials of all the unprotected metal parts need to be equalized. The bed must be
connected to a mains electric power supply with earth protection.
In an environment where electrostatic discharges are prevalent, we recommend the
use of an antistatic caster.
The mains power supply for the bed must comply with following standards:
• NF C 15-100 and NF C 15-211 (France),
• International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 364 for other locations.
Check that the bed’s power requirements on the identification label (see “Overview”
page 13) correspond to the power supply voltage of the hospital.

194412(13) - Hill-Rom 900 Accella Bed - Instructions For Use Page 7

 The power supply should be equipped with a maximum 30 mA earth
leakage circuit breaker, in compliance with IEC 364-5-53.

All the parts of the bed within the patient's reach are applied parts, even if they are under
the bed frame.
If the integrity of the protective conductor is in doubt, the beds fitted with batteries
must be used in battery mode.
In compliance with standards relating to electromagnetic interference for medical
equipment, this product does not interfere with other medical devices or is not
susceptible to interference when combined with other medical devices that also comply
with the electromagnetic standards in force.
Some devices, particularly older ones that do not comply with the electromagnetic
compatibility standards, may however undergo interference or may themselves
interfere with the working of this product.
The users of such devices are responsible for ensuring that any malfunctions will not
endanger the patient or any other person.

Use of this equipment adjacent to or stacked with other equipment should be

avoided because it could result in improper operation. If such use is necessary, this
equipment and the other equipment should be observed to verify that they are
operating normally.
Ensure that the power cord is unplugged and hooked to the bed before moving the bed
(see “Securing the power cable” page 84).
Only duly qualified and authorized staff should carry out electrical maintenance.
Never clean or service the bed without unplugging it from the mains power supply and
disconnecting the battery.
The battery backup must never be left in direct contact with fire, placed in liquid, or
discarded in a refuse bin. In the event of the battery being damaged, see “End-of-life
equipment” page 91.
This label indicates that the bed must never be used with an oxygen
tent or in explosive atmospheres (presence of inflammable gases or
vapors). Use only nasal tubes and oxygen masks. For reasons of safety,
masks and tubes should always be kept at a higher level than the
mattress support platform.
Always lock out the HiLow function before any cleaning or maintenance
operations.

If the bed is equipped with a battery, and the bed is stored for long periods of time,
the battery must be charged every 3 months. Failure to do so could result in
damage to the battery.

 Patient safety

Siderails
The Hill-Rom 900 Accella Lit is fitted with built-in half-siderails.

Always ensure that there are no obstacles (patient's limb, objects, accessories, etc.)
before raising, lowering folding or unfolding a siderail. They are not designed to
restrain or immobilize the patient. Restraining straps or other devices must not be
fastened to the siderails.

Evaluate patients for entrapment risk according to protocol, and monitor patients
appropriately. Ensure that all siderails are fully latched when in the raised
position.
Siderails are intended to show patients where the edges of the bed are. They are not
patient-restraining devices. When appropriate, Hill-Rom recommends that medical
personnel determine the proper methods necessary to ensure a patient remains safely in
bed without being constantly observed.

Patient safety
Do not place accessories (respiratory or other medical devices) on the siderail in a
manner that could prevent the siderail from being lowered when emergency
access to the patient is required. The siderails must be handled according to the
instructions in the user manual.
When fully raised and locked, siderails aims to reduce the risk of falls.

Space filler panel (AD288A)**

In order to mitigate the risks incurred by patient egress through the gaps at the foot of
the bed, between the half-siderails and the foot panel, Hill-Rom has developed a kit of
two detachable panels, one for each side, designed to block this gap.

Page 64 194412(13) - Hill-Rom 900 Accella Bed - Instructions For Use

 Installing the panels

The panels are not designed to restrain or immobilize the patient in

the bed.

Patient safety
Check that the panels are correctly installed.
The authorized medical personnel must consider the use of siderails
depending on the state of health and behavior of the patient, according
to a protocol that indicates in which situations and when the panels can
be used.

They are not egress handles. Do not lean on them.

Do not use when the extension is deployed.
Do not use with Afssaps half-siderails
Do not use with AD271A and AD272A siderails .
Do not store at the head of the bed and remove from the foot of the
bed when not in use.

Fittings for the restraining strap handles

Do not attach the restraining straps to any part of the bed (particularly the
siderails) other than those provided for this purpose. When the patient is
restrained by the straps, the electric functions must be locked out. When the
patient is restrained with an abdominal strap, a system used to restrict the ankles
must also be used.
Immobilize patients on the bed using the fittings provided..

The sleep surface has fittings on each side of the bed located on the head, thigh and
foot sections.
Thread the straps through the bars.

1. Only to be used in compliance with local regulations.

Page 66 194412(13) - Hill-Rom 900 Accella Bed - Instructions For Use

 Restraining devices must not be used as a replacement for the nursing care
required by the patient. Even when correctly installed, physical restraining devices
may become entangled and injure the patient, especially if the patient is agitated
and confused. Whenever containment devices are used, the patient must be
observed in accordance with legal requirements and protocol.

Restraining devices must be secured to the articulated sections of the bed using
appropriate attachment points in order to avoid injury to the patient.

Ensure that the strap model used is suitable for the dimensions of the locations
provided. Straps must not be able to slide to another location.

Never use restraining straps for the ankles when the bed is in the seated position or
the foot section is lowered.

Adjust the bed's restraining systems and articulations to avoid any risk of the
patient sliding or moving.

Electrical function management

Patient safety
The electrical functions are managed on the foot
control pendant* or the caregiver half-siderail keypads.
These lockout units are used to generally or selectively
inhibit or enable the electrical functions of the bed.

 "Bed connected to power mains, brake not applied" detection*
When the bed is plugged into the mains and the brakes are not applied, a continuous
alert sounds until the brakes are applied or the bed is disconnected from the mains.
This information can be sent to the duty nurse if the bed is connected to a hospital
network with a compatible information system.
Moving the bed

Before moving the bed, perform the following checks:

• If there is a patient in the bed, ensure that the siderails are raised and locked to help
prevent the patient from falling.
• Position the sleep surface so the top of the footboard is at the most suitable height for
transporting the bed (approximately ½ Hi-Low) and with the foot section horizontal.
• Unplug the power cord and electrically powered accessories (e.g., self-contained air
mattress, and the nurse call communications cable), securing them on the bed as
shown in "Securing the power cable" page 84.
• Ensure that the bed or accessories (e.g., patient helper) will not catch on doorways or
other obstacles (e.g. lights).
• Place the patient in a stable and comfortable position (do not fully raise the head
section).
Never try to move the bed by pulling on the power cable or you may damage it. A
damaged power cord is an electric shock hazard.

Never use the patient helper or the IV stand to move the bed.

The bed should only be moved while in the transport position by two people (one
at each end so as to ensure that there is always one person to operate the brake
bar) when moving the bed on a slope, with a foot end directional caster or when
moving the bed with a heavy load (heavy patient, accessories fitted, etc.).
Moving the bed:
• hold the endboard with both hands,
• raise the brake and steer bar to the “NEUTRAL” position to release the brakes,
• push the bed, steering with the headboard.
Movements/Transfers

If the endboard is not lockable, be careful that it does not fall on the patient or
injury someone in case of a fall.
For easy transportation in a straight line:
• push the bed using the end board opposite the steering wheel (See “Brake and
steer system” page 81),
• after having moved the bed for a short distance to align the casters, raise the
brake and steer bar to the “STEER” position.

Electromagnetic conformance

Electromagnetic emissions compliance

This device meets all the requirements related to electromagnetic compatibility, in

accordance with the standard IEC 60601-1-2 and the directives applicable to
medical devices, and has passed all the tests to demonstrate that it meets these
requirements. It is most improbable that users experience problems due to
deficient electromagnetic immunity. However, electromagnetic immunity is
always relative, and standards are based on anticipated environments of usage. If
the user notices that the device behaves unusually, and especially if this behavior
is intermittent and occurs when in the vicinity of radio or TV transmitters, cell
phones or electrosurgical equipment, this may be a sign of electromagnetic
interference. If such behavior occurs, users must try to move the equipment well
