Introduction The BariMaxx™ Active Therapy System is a patient support system designed for bariatric patients. The product provides flexible patient positioning, integrated scales and an AtmosAir™ Fit with SAT™ Mattress Replacement System (MRS).

Indications The intended use for the BariMaxx Active Therapy System is for a total weight up to 455 kg (1000 lb), including accessories, and patients at risk for pressure ulcer formation and requiring daily weight monitoring.

Contraindication The BariMaxx Active Therapy System is contraindicated for patients with a total weight in excess of 455 kg (1000 lb) including accessories.

Maximum Recommended Patient Weight Total patient weight should not exceed 455 kg (1000 lb), including accessories. The use of accessories on the bed may decrease the patient weight capacity of the bed. Contact ArjoHuntleigh for questions concerning the use of accessories.

Risks and Precautions Electromagnetic Interference - Although this equipment conforms with the intent of the directive 89 / 336 / EEC in relation to electromagnetic compatibility, all electrical equipment may produce interference. If interference is suspected, move equipment away from sensitive devices or contact the manufacturer. Patient Migration - Specialty surfaces have different shear and support characteristics than conventional surfaces and may increase the risk of patient movement, sinking and / or migration into hazardous positions of entrapment and / or inadvertent bed exit. Monitor patients frequently to guard against patient entrapment. Shock Hazard - Electrical shock hazard; do not remove covers. Refer to qualified service personnel. Side Rails and Restraints - WARNING: Use of restraints, including side rails, can be critical to patient safety. Serious injury (potential entrapment) or death can result from the use or non-use (potential patient falls) of side rails or other restraints. See related Safety Information. Skeletal Traction or Unstable Fracture (if not contraindicated) - With skeletal traction, unstable pelvic fracture or any other unstable fracture (to the extent not contraindicated), maintain physician directed angle. Transfer - Precaution should be taken during patient transfer, including the locking of caster brakes and caster steering. See Patient Transfer section in the Patient Placement chapter of this guide.

Safety Information Ambulatory Patient Entrance / Exit - Caregiver should always aid patient in entering and exiting the bed. Lower patient surface completely during assisted patient entrance / exit. Avoid Fire Hazards - To minimize the risk of fire, connect power cord directly into a wallmounted outlet. Do not use extension cords or multiple outlet strips. Avoid Strains - Extra care should be taken when moving patients to and from the bed to avoid caregiver muscle strains. Make sure any caregivers who will be assisting the patient to and from the bed are physically capable of doing so. Always use a transfer device, when available. Batteries - Bed contains batteries and must be plugged in and set to the on ( I ) position when not in service and / or transport. Inspect batteries monthly. Batteries more than 28 months old from the date of manufacture should be replaced in pairs. Install a battery history label on battery cover with proposed date of next battery replacement. Apply label in a visible location so that all information is displayed. Bed Height - To minimize the risks of falls or injury, the bed should always be in the lowest practical position when the patient is unattended. Make sure area under and around bed frame is clear of objects, persons and parts of body before adjusting height. Bed Exit Alarm - Activation of the bed exit alarm is recommended whenever the patient is unattended. Be sure to reactivate the bed exit alarm each time the patient returns to bed. Bed Expansions - Extensions and side rails should always be locked in place whenever expanded or retracted. Blank Display - If main control panel remains blank, call for service immediately. Brakes - Lock all steer casters in line and set all caster brakes before transferring patient. Disposal - At the end of useful life, dispose of waste according to local requirements or contact the manufacturer for advice. There may be special requirements for disposal of batteries and leaded foam (if present in this product). Foot Expansion - Should always be locked in place whenever retracted. Fluids- Avoid spilling fluids on bed controls. If spills do occur, unplug the bed, clean fluid from controls wearing rubber gloves to avoid any possibility of shock. Once fluid is removed, check operation of components in area of spill. Fluids remaining on controls can cause corrosion, which may cause components to fail or operate erratically, possibly producing potential hazards for patient and staff. General Protocols - Follow all applicable safety rules and institution protocols, concerning patient and caregiver safety. Hand Control Lock - The lock-out function should be used at caregiver’s discretion to ensure against unintentional or unauthorized operation of bed functions.

8

Moving Parts - Keep all equipment, tubes and lines, loose clothing, hair and parts of the body away from moving parts and pinch points. Oxygen Use - Ensure that the hand control is not contained in an oxygen enriched environment. Possible fire hazard when bed is used with oxygen administering equipment other than the nasal prongs, mask or half bed length tent type. Oxygen tent should not extend below mattress support level. Power Cord - Ensure power cord is kept free from all pinch points and moving parts and is not trapped under casters. Improper handling of the power cord can cause damage to the cord, which may produce risk of fire or electric shock. Scale Readings - Scales / patient weights are for reference only. Scale readings should not be relied upon for medication dosage. Side Rails / Patient Restraints - Whether and how to use side rails or restraints is a decision that should be based on each patient’s needs and should be made by the patient and the patient’s family, physician and caregivers, with facility protocols in mind. Caregivers should assess risks and benefits of side rail restraint use (including entrapment and patient falls from bed) in conjunction with individual patient needs, and should discuss use or non-use with patient and / or family. Consider not only the clinical and other needs of the patient but also the risks of fatal or serious injury from falling out of bed and from patient entrapment in or around the side rails, restraints or other accessories. In the US, for a description of entrapment hazards, vulnerable patient profile and guidance to further reduce entrapment risks, refer to FDA’s Hospital Bed System Dimensional and Assessment Guidance To Reduce Entrapment. Outside the US, consult the local Competent Authority or Government Agency for Medical Device Safety for specific local guidance. Consult a caregiver and carefully consider the use of bolsters, positioning aids or floor pads, especially with confused, restless or agitated patients. It is recommended that side rails (if used) be locked in the full upright position when the patient is unattended. Make sure a capable patient knows how to get out of bed safely (and, if necessary, how to release the side rails) in case of fire or other emergency. Monitor patients frequently to guard against patient entrapment. When selecting a standard mattress, ensure the distance between top of side rails (if used) and top of mattress (without compression) is at least 8.66 in (220 mm) to help prevent inadvertent bed exit or falls. Consider individual patient size, position relative to the top of the side rail) and patient condition in assessing fall risk. It is recommended that electrically operated beds conform to IEC 60601-2-38. Medical Electrical Equipment Part 2: Particular requirements for the safety of electrically operated hospital bed. To help prevent inadvertent bed exit or falls, ensure the distance between top of side rails (if used) and top of mattress (without compression) is approximately 4.5 in / 11.4 cm or greater. Consider individual patient size, position (relative to the top of the side rail) and patient condition in assessing fall risk. Skin Care - Monitor skin conditions regularly, especially at bony prominences and in areas where incontinence and drainage occur or collect, and consider adjunct or alternative therapies for high acuity patients. It is recommended that skin pressure points be assessed at least every two hours. Early intervention may be essential to preventing serious skin breakdown. Transfer Board - If a mechanical lift device is not available, a transfer board should always be used when transferring a patient to and from the BariMaxx Active Therapy System. 9
