Ⅰ．BEFORE USING THE BED<Gap related notes>

 Watch the gaps.
There are gaps in the bed, side-rail, etc. There is a risk of injury if part of the body (especially thehead and neck) gets caught in those gaps.
Be especially careful to check a patient who might act in unexpected ways or cannot maintain their
posture independently.
Pay attention to the following points.
Gap inside the board
Gap between board and mattressdeck/mattress
Gap between raised mattress deck andboard/side-rail
Gap between IV pole/foot spacer/Side-rail
spacer/Traction frame andboard/side-rail/mattress deck/mattress

Gap in side-rail
Gap between side-rails (head end/foot end)
Gap between side-rail and board
Gap between side-rail and mattressdeck/mattress (vertical direction)
Gap between side-rail and mattressdeck/mattress (horizontal direction)* The figure shows an example.

7

 Do not operate the bed with part of the body placed in a gap.


A body part could get caught in a gap, resulting
in injury.
Be especially careful to check a patient who
might act in unexpected ways or cannot
maintain their posture independently.

 Do not insert a hand (fingers) or legs between the bed frame andthe mattress deck during bed operation.



A body part could get caught in the gap between the lowered mattress deck and the bed frame orboard, resulting in injury.
Be especially careful to check a patient who might act in unexpected ways or cannot maintain their
posture independently.

 Be careful to prevent any part of the body from entering the gap
between the bed and a wall or other objects.



There is a risk that a part of the body may get caught, resulting in injury.
Be especially careful to check a patient who might act in unexpected ways or cannot maintain their
posture independently.

 Do not crawl under the bed or place your head, hands, or legs
under the bed.



A body part could get caught in the gap
between the moving parts of the bed andthe frame or side-rail, resulting in injury.
Check to make sure there are no objects
around the bed before operating the bed.
Be especially careful to check a patient who
might act in unexpected ways or cannot
maintain their posture independently.

 Check the patient’s condition when adjusting the mattress deckangle or bed height.

If the patient moves while the mattress deck angle or bed height is adjusted, the patient may fall off
the bed or get caught in a gap, resulting in injury. In particular, if the patient cannot maintain their
posture independently, support their body when performing an adjustment.

 When attaching an accessory, make sure there are no foreign
objects in the Accessory attachment holes.

If there are foreign objects, the accessory cannot be attached correctly and there is a risk of thepatient falling off the bed, or unexpected gaps being created and part of the body getting caught,
resulting in injury.

8Ⅰ．BEFORE USING THE BED<Falling off>

 Be careful to prevent the patient from falling off the bed even whenside-rails are raised.






The patient may fall through a gap between side-rails, or between a board and side-rail, resulting ininjury.
The patient may bend forward over a side-rail and fall off the bed, resulting in injury.
When a thick mattress is used, the effective height of the side-rails becomes lower. Be careful
because this makes it easier for the patient to roll over them and fall, which may result in injury.
Be especially careful to check a patient who might act in unexpected ways or cannot maintain their
posture independently.

 When transferring a patient, raise the side-rails.
The patient may fall off the bed, resulting in injury.

 The side-rails should be operated by the nurse from outside thebed.

If the patient operates the side-rails from inside the bed, the side-rails may go down suddenly and thepatient may fall off the bed, resulting in injury.

 Do not sit on the side-rails, headboard, or footboard.

The patient could fall off the bed or fall down, orthe bed or side-rails could be damaged ordeformed, resulting in injury.

 When leaving the bed area or taking your eyes off the patient,check the mattress deck angle, bed height, and the state of theside-rails and boards.



If a physician, nurse, or attendant will leave the bed area or take their eyes off the patient, set the
mattress deck angle to zero (flat) and the bed height to the lowest position according to thecondition of the patient in case of falling off the bed.
If a patient cannot maintain a posture independently or has difficulty in walking, raise all side-rails. If
you want to fill the gap between the Foot-end side-rail and footboard when using an extension
frame, use a foot spacer/Side-rail spacer (accessory, see p. 68).

 Do not transport the bed with the patient on it while the head israised using cardiac chair motion or the bed is inclined.

The patient may fall from the bed or be caught in a gap, resulting in injury.

9<Operating the bed>

 Do not allow the bed to be operated by a person deemed incapableof understanding bed operation (a child aged 12 or under or aperson with dementia).



If a person deemed incapable of understanding the operation operates the side-rail integrated
panel, patient control panel, handheld controller, or nurse control panel (accessory) by oneself, thebody may get caught in the bed by mistake, resulting in unexpected injury. If there is a possibility
that such a person operates the side-rail integrated panel, patient control panel, handheld controller,
or nurse control panel (accessory), use one of the following procedures to limit operation to prevent
accidents caused by unintended operation.
● Set Overall lock-out on the side-rail integrated panel or nurse control panel (accessory) todisable the operation of the side-rail integrated panel, patient control panel, handheld controller,
and nurse control panel (accessory). (For the setting procedure, see p.49 and 61.)
● Set Patient lock-out on the side-rail integrated panel or nurse control panel (accessory) todisable the operation of the patient control panel and handheld controller. (For the setting
procedure, see p.49 and 61.)
● Set Selective lock-out on the handheld controller (accessory) to disable individual
head/knee/height/inclining (IA-54580*** only) operations. (For the setting procedure, see p.54.)
Note that resetting the settings on the nurse control panel (accessory) enables all bed operations
again even when the side-rail integrated panel, patient control panel, handheld controller(accessory), and nurse control panel (accessory) operations have been disabled. The bed may
move unexpectedly, resulting in injury. (See the instruction manual for the nurse control panel(accessory).) Use the bed in the correct orientation.

Lying down on the bed with the feet at the headend and the head at the foot end induces anunnatural posture during bed operation (mattressdeck angle) which may result in injury.

 Do not perform any angle adjustment when the patient is lying facedown or on their side (in any posture other than lying face up).

There is a risk of injury caused by extending thejoints backward.

10

Ⅰ．BEFORE USING THE BED
 Do not perform bed operations such as raising the head or knee
section with a restraint belt attached to the mattress deck.

The patient’s body may be squeezed resulting in injury or the bed may be damaged or deformed.
If the patient or attendant operates the side-rail integrated panel, patient control panel, handheld
controller (standard or accessory), or nurse control panel (accessory), the body may get caught inthe bed by mistake, resulting in unexpected injury. If there is a possibility that such a person
operates the side-rail integrated panel, patient control panel, handheld controller (standard oraccessory), or nurse control panel (accessory), use one of the following procedures to limit
operation to prevent accidents caused by unintended operation● Set Overall lock-out on the side-rail integrated panel or nurse control panel (accessory) todisable the operation of the side-rail integrated panel, patient control panel, handheld controller,
and nurse control panel (accessory). (For the setting procedure, see p.49 and 61.)
● Set Patient lock-out on the side-rail integrated panel or nurse control panel (accessory) todisable the operation of the patient control panel and handheld controller. (For the setting
procedure, see p.49 and 61.)
● Set Selective lock-out on the handheld controller (accessory) to disable individual
head/knee/height/inclining (IA-54580*** only) operations. (For the setting procedure, see p.54.)
Note that resetting the settings on the nurse control panel (accessory) enables all bed operations
again even when the side-rail integrated panel, patient control panel, handheld controller(accessory), and nurse control panel (accessory) operations have been disabled. The bed may
move unexpectedly, resulting in injury. (See the instruction manual for the nurse control panel(accessory).) Use the bed according to the patient’s medical condition.


Depending on the patient’s medical condition, the condition may become worse if the patient’s
posture is changed by operating the bed or raising the head or knees.
If the patient or a family member operates the bed, make sure that the physician or nurse explains
the details given in the instruction manual and usage suitable for the patient’s medical condition.

 Pay attention to the board and devices that install at the attachment
holes during tilt angle adjustment.

During tilt angle adjustment, pay attention the board and accessory attachment holes will becometilted at an angle, which may cause equipment to drop, leading to injury as well as damage anddeformity to the equipment.

11

<Using the bed>

 Use the bed with the boards attached, except when providing
treatment. Also, check the patient’s condition when detaching theboard.

16

Ⅰ．BEFORE USING THE BED<Battery> Do not disassemble the battery.
 Do not throw the battery into fire.
 Keep the battery away from fire.
 Do not charge the battery with a non-suitable bed.
 Do not use the battery with equipment other than suitable beds.
 Do not apply a strong impact to the battery.
 Do not recharge the battery or operate the bed with the bed upside
down.

Improper handling by ignoring the above instructions may cause personal injury or property damage
due to fluid leakage, fire, explosion, electric shock, or case rupture.

 If fluid leaks out of the battery and spills on your skin or clothing,
immediately wash it off with copious amounts of water.



In particular, if the fluid gets into your eyes, rinse them with copious amounts of clean water andseek medical attention.
Since the battery fluid is diluted sulphuric acid, contact with eyes may cause loss of sight and withskin may cause a burn injury.
If fluid leaks out of the battery, replace it immediately with a new one.

 Check regularly whether the bed can be battery-operated orwhether the battery replacement time has been reached. Replace abattery that has reached the replacement time.

The continued use of a battery that has reached the replacement life may cause fluid to leak out of
the battery, resulting in fire.
The estimated replacement time of the battery is 2 to 3 years after purchase. If the indicator showsthat the remaining power is low or insufficient (see p.38) soon after starting bed operation, eventhough the battery was recharged for more than 12 hours, replace the battery.
*The battery life varies depending on the operating frequency and environment, and storage
condition of the battery.
For assistance with checking the battery life or replacing or recycling the battery, contact
Paramount Bed (see p.100) or your distributor.

 When disconnect the battery, be careful not to get caught in themoving parts of the bed.

You may get caught in a gap between themattress deck and main frame, resulting ininjury.

* The illustration shows the bed with the
footboard removed.

17 When adjusting the height or inclination angle, make sure that the
bed does not hit a wall, beam, or power outlet on the wall.

The bed, wall, or floor may be damaged
or deformed. Make sure that the bed does not hit
a wall, beam, or power plug during height or
inclination angle adjustment.

 When setting up the bed, allow at least 20 cm clearance from thewall.

The main frame moves back and forth during
inclination angle adjustment and may hit a wall,
resulting in damage or deformation of the bed,
wall, or floor.

 Do not get on the mattress deck when it is raised.

This applies excessive force to the support of themattress deck, resulting in damage or deformationof the mattress deck.

 The bed should not be used by two or more persons.
This bed is designed for use by one person.
If the bed is used by two or more persons, it
may be damaged, resulting in injury. The
maximum user weight allowed on the bed is
195 kg. If a physician, nurse, or caregiverneeds to get on the bed for a short time,check the following points.
● The total weight of the persons who will
get on the bed must not exceed 195 kg.
● The mattress deck has been lowered all
the way and is horizontal (flat) at thelowest position.
If a physician, nurse, or caregiver often getson the bed, contact Paramount Bed (seep.100) or your distributor for regularinspection of the bed.

 Do not apply a load exceeding the safe working load on the bed.

The bed may be damaged or deformed, resulting in injury. The safe working load of this bed is 230 kg(2250 N). The safe working load is the maximum load with which the bed can be operated safely andis the total load of the user’s weight and incidental items such as the mattress and accessories.

18

Ⅰ．BEFORE USING THE BED
 Check around the bed before operating the bed.

Bed operation may damage objects around the bed, or may cause the bed to be damaged ordeformed.

 Make sure that the board stoppers of the headboard and footboard
are locked.

If the board is not attached properly, the board
may suddenly disengage when the board ispushed or pulled to move the bed or the patient
grabs the board to support their body, and thenurse or patient may lose their balance and falldown, resulting in injury. (See p.24)

 Do not move the bed while holding the side-rails.

This applies excessive force to the side-rails, resulting in damage or deformation of the side-rails.
Avoid moving the bed over uneven floors.

 Do not place the bed on the inclination which angle is 6 degree or
more.

The bed may tip over, resulting in an injury.

 Avoid moving the bed over uneven floors.

●
●
●
●
●
●

●
●

Be careful to prevent a body part (especially the head or neck) from entering
a gap between the side-rail and mattress deck or mattress. If a body part isstuck in a gap, it may not be able to be pulled out, resulting in injury. Be
especially careful to check a patient who might act in unexpected ways orcannot maintain their posture independently.
The side-rails should be operated by the nurse fromoutside the bed. If the patient operates the side-rails
from inside the bed, the side-rails may go down
suddenly and the patient may fall off the bed, resulting ininjury.
Do not let the patient lean against a side-rail while it israised. The patient may lose their balance and fall off thebed, resulting in injury.
When a thick mattress is used, the effective height of the side-rails becomes
lower. Be careful because this makes it easier for the patient to roll overthem and fall, which may result in injury.
Do not hang your legs over a side-rail while it is lowered. The bed may tip
over, resulting in injury.
When raising a side-rail, make sure that the lock is engaged. If the lock is not
fully engaged, the side-rail may go down unexpectedly and the patient may
fall off the bed, resulting in injury.
Be careful to prevent lines from getting caught. When operating a side-rail,lines may get caught between the side-rail and mattress and be damaged,
resulting in injury.
When adjusting the height or inclination angle with the side-rail lowered, do
not put your legs under the side-rail. They may get caught, resulting ininjury.
When operating a side-rail, make sure that the patient’s
hands or legs have not entered a gap between theside-rail and mattress deck. They may get caught in thegap, resulting in injury.
Do not put your fingers in the moving parts of a side-rail.
They may get caught, resulting in injury.
Caution is required when operating a side-rail with thehead section raised. If the head section angle is notproper, the side-rail may move unexpectedly, resulting ininjury.

25

<Raising the side-rail>
1. Raise the side-rail and push in until it clicks
into place.
2. Pull the side-rail toward you to make surethat the side-rail is locked.

<Lowering the side-rail>
1. Use one hand to hold the grip of the side-railand push it to the back (toward the center ofthe bed).
2. While pushing it to the back, use the other
hand to pull the operation lever toward you
and, while supporting the side-rail, lower theside-rail until it stops.

The side-rails have an Anti-tampering Lock Feature that keeps the patient safely
within the bed by preventing the side-rail lock from being released when the patient isleaning against the side-rail. This prevents the patient from falling over when they areattempting to lower the side-rail by themselves.

26

Ⅰ．BEFORE USING THE BED

Ⅰ．BEFORE USING THE BED
Raising the foot end

You can change the angle of the leg section so that the foot end is raised.
The angle of the leg section must be adjusted byat least two persons from both sides of the bed. If
only one person attempts to adjust the angle, theperson may get caught between the leg section
and main frame, resulting in injury.

The angle of the leg section base can be manually adjusted in two levels.
 Normally, the leg section base moves to position (b) when the knee section base is raised.
 Adjustment to position (a) should be performed when the knee section base is raised.
 When adjusting to position (a), hold the end of the leg section base and pull it up, and lift up the endof the leg section base stay. When the end of the leg section base stay moves to position (A), lower
the leg section base slowly.

Ⅰ．BEFORE USING THE BED
Restraint belt holder

When fastening restraint belts, fasten them in the locations in the figure below.
Do not operate the bed with restraint belts fastened. The restraint belts may
apply pressure to the patient, resulting in injury.
When making a bed or getting into or out of the bed, be careful not to put yourhand or fingers in the hole of a restraint holder by mistake. There is a risk of
injury.

33

Roller bumper

Roller bumpers are attached to the 4 corners of the bed. When the bed is moved, they can absorb any
impact that occurs when the bed hits a wall or equipment.

34

Ⅰ．BEFORE USING THE BED
Angle indicator

A head of bed angle indicator is located on the outside of the Head-end side-rail and an inclination angle
indicator (IA-54580*** only) is located on the outside of the Foot-end side-rail.
The head of bed angle and inclination angle can be checked respectively.
* The indicated angle values should be used as approximations.

35

Accessory attachment hole

Accessory attachment holes are located at the head end and foot end of the bed in a total of 4 locations.
They can be used to attach accessory such as an IV pole and oxygen cylinder holder.

Note that changing the inclination angle of the bed changes the inclination angle ofaccessory inserted into the Accessory attachment holes. (IA-54580*** only)

Night-light (with night-light type only)

The night-light can be used for illuminating the area around the feet in the dark.
 The night-lights are located at 2 locations on the left and right under the hip section of the bed.
 The night-lights automatically turn on when the power cable is plugged into the power outlet or
when the battery is connected.

36

Ⅰ．BEFORE USING THE BED
Connecting to the power supply

Do not connect multiple cables to a single outlet.
If other electrical equipment is plugged into thesame outlet and the rated capacity of the outlet or
extension cable is exceeded, the power cable andplug may overheat and cause fire.
<Outlet>

Use a properly wired grounded outlet foreach bed that meets the power
consumption requirements of the bed. Also,
firmly insert the power plug into the outlet.
When installing the bed, place it whereconnecting and disconnecting the powerplug will not be blocked.
After use, disconnect the power plug fromthe outlet. For models with a battery, also
turn the battery off.

* The illustration uses a type C power plug for explanation.

<Using the cable storage hooks>

Wind the power cable around the cable storage
hooks before moving the bed.

37

Battery

The battery is located at the foot end of the bed’s
main frame.
* The illustration shows the bed with the leg
section raised and the footboard removed.



By default (when the power plug is not connected), the battery always
self-discharges.
The battery is automatically charged when the power plug is connected.
If the battery has been over-discharged, the power supply automatically turns off.

<Battery-powered bed operation>
If the battery have been charged, the bed can be operated bypower from the battery while the power plug is not inserted
into the outlet (or in the event of a power failure).
Do not operate the bed electricallyduring the emergency headdown
operation with the CPR lever of the bed.
This may damage the motor.







When the remaining battery power is sufficient (after recharging for 12 hours),
three up-and-down movements can be performed for height adjustment while
the safe working load is applied on the bed (at an ambient temperature of 25˚C).
However, the number of up-and down movements varies depending on theoperating frequency and environment, and storage condition of the battery.
BED SPEED is slower than when operating the bed while the power plug isinserted into the outlet (except in the event of a power failure). In addition, thespeed varies depending on the remaining power, operating frequency andenvironment, and storage condition of the battery.
If battery-powered operation of the bed is not possible, check the battery status(see p.38).

To extend the battery life, recharge the battery as frequently as possible before theindicator shows that the remaining power is low or insufficient (see the table above).

39

<Recharging the battery>Inserting the power plug of the bed into the outlet starts
recharging of the battery, and recharging will complete
automatically after 12 hours. When using the bed for the
first time, recharge the battery before use.

Normally use the bed with the powerplug of the bed inserted into theoutlet and the battery recharged.
Repeated recharging after thebattery power is used up results inearly degradation of maximum
capacity and a shorter life span.
After battery-powered operation of
the bed, recharge the battery whenpossible.
If the indicator shows that theremaining power is low orinsufficient (see p.38) soon after
starting bed operation, even though
the recharge is completed, it is time
to replace the battery.

<Handling the battery>
Battery life
The battery is not designed to be recharged after the battery power is totally used up. Repeatedly
recharging the battery from zero charge will reduce its battery life. Always recharge the battery after
operating the bed on battery power. If the bed is equipped with a battery and is stored for long periods oftime, the battery must be fully charged every 3 months. Failure to do so may cause damage to the battery
or decrease its life. The battery life will vary depending on the usage frequency, usage conditions andstorage conditions. Regardless of whether the battery is used, its life will start to decrease after a few
years.
Check regularly whether the bed can be battery-operated or whether the battery
replacement time has been reached. Replace a battery that has reached thereplacement time.

Storage
The battery self-discharges slightly. When storing the bed, recharge the battery for 12 hours or more, anddisconnect the power plug of the bed. Do not press any of the operating buttons during storage aspressing the buttons will cause the bed to switch from the power-saving mode to the normal mode, whichuses the battery power. If any of the buttons are pressed and the LED indicators (e.g., battery statusindicator LED) turn on, reconnect and then disconnect the power plug to save power and prolong the timethat the battery can last. This reduces the impact of excessive discharge on the battery life. Note that it isrecommended to store the bed at an ambient temperature of 25˚C. When storing the bed for a long periodof time, recharge the battery for 12 hours or more once every 3 months. If the battery is not recharged, thebattery may deteriorate or the battery may become no longer rechargeable. Recharging the battery
automatically turns the power supply on.

4. Technical explanation regarding EMD (Electromagnetic Disturbance)
The bed requires special safety precautions regarding EMC to be observed. Install, operate, and use the
bed according to the information provided below.
The bed is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment specified according to “Electromagnetic
interference.” Using the bed in an unintended environment may result in the occurrence of the following
problems.
• The function for supporting the patient’s body weight may not be maintained.
• The emergency head-down function may not be maintained.

The bed is intended for use in doctor’s offices, clinics, exclusive medical facilities, independent surgery
centers, multiple treatment facilities, hospitals (except near high-frequency surgical equipment, andoutside RF shielded rooms for magnetic resonance images). The customers or users of the bed mustensure that the bed is always used in this environment.
Due to its emission characteristics, the bed is suitable for use in hospitals. If used in a home environment,
this device may not offer sufficient protection against radio frequency communication services. It may benecessary for the user to take relaxation measures such as re-arranging or changing the direction of thedevice.

●●●If accessory, transducers, or cables other than those specified and sold by
the manufacturers of the bed are used as replacement parts for internal
components, it may result in an increase in emission or a decline inimmunity of the bed.
Use portable RF communication devices (including antenna cables andperipheral devices such as external antennas) at a distance of at least 30 cm
from all parts of the bed. Using the RF communication devices within adistance of 30 cm may cause a decline in the performance of the bed.
The bed cannot be used adjacent to another device or in a stacked state. If
the bed must be used adjacent to another device or in a stacked state, makesure the bed operates appropriately at the location of use.

cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To determine the electromagnetic environment due tofixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic survey of the site should be considered. If the measured fieldstrength in the location in which bed is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, bed
should be observed to verify whether or not it is operating appropriately. If an abnormal operation isseen, take additional measures as needed, such as changing the location of use of the bed.
b. These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption
and reflection from structures, objects, and people.

Ⅴ．REFERENCE INFORMATION
Guidance and manufacturer’s declaration — electromagnetic immunity
The bed is intended to be used in an electromagnetic environment where RF radio communication
devices are used. The electromagnetic interference between the RF communication device and the bed
can be prevented by maintaining the minimum distance between the two as recommended below inaccordance with the maximum output and frequency of the communication device.
