ENTERPRISE 8000X (E8X) Quick Reference Guide This Quick Reference Guide (QRG) is intended to assist the user in understanding the basic functions of this medical bed. The QRG does not replace the safety warnings, cautions and other important information provided in the Instructions for Use (IFU) supplied with the equipment; copies of the IFU are available on request from ArjoHuntleigh. Some of the functions should only be used by clinically-qualified personnel. The carer should make sure they have read and understood the IFU before using this medical bed. A clinically-qualified person should assess the age, height and medical condition of the patient to ensure they can use the product safely. Place the mattress platform in the low height position when the patient is unattended.

Patient Controls
Battery discharged A “beeping” sound indicates that the bed is operating on battery power. Connect the bed to the mains supply as soon as possible.
Caregiver Controls
Patient Handset
To operate controls Select a function button for example raise / lower mattress platform height. The indicator light on the selected function will turn green and the bed will immediately begin to move accordingly. Green light indicates function selected.
Mattress platform height
Raise and lower the mattress platform. When lowered to 38cm (40cm on beds with 150mm castors) above the floor, it will pause then continue to lower until it reaches its minimum height. At minimum height, clearance underneath the bed is reduced. Keep your feet away from the areas below the side rails and take extra care when using patient hoists or similar equipment.
Function lockout Press the Function Lock button, then press the Attendant Control Panel button(s) corresponding to the function(s) to be locked or unlocked. The “lock” indicator above the function button will light yellow when the function is locked and go out when it is unlocked. Yellow light indicates function is locked out.
Backrest Raise and lower the backrest. The backrest will pause when it reaches an angle approximately 30º above the horizontal.
Auto-Chair
The Auto-Chair up button simultaneously raises the backrest and thigh sections, pausing when the backrest reaches 45º. Continue to hold the button down to lower the foot end of the mattress platform into a chair position. If the backrest angle is greater than 45º, it will return to 45º to prevent the patient from tipping forwards. The Auto-Chair down button returns the mattress platform to a flat and level position.
Bio-Contour The Bio-Contour up button simultaneously raises the backrest and thigh sections to provide upright patient profiling; the raised thigh section prevents the patient sliding down the bed. The Bio-Contour down button returns the mattress platform to a flat position.
Brakes and steering
The brakes should be applied at all times when the bed is stationary. The pedals may be linked by a full width brake bar. 2

Side rails Make sure the side rail is securely locked when in the raised position. Pull the blue release lever (2) to lower the side rail. To raise the side rail, hold onto either side rail handle (1) and pull the side rail up and away from the bed until it locks in the raised position. 1
1 Brake: brakes are applied on all four castors.
2 Free: all four castors are free to rotate and swivel.
3 Steer:all four castors can rotate, but the steering castor
(see below) is locked so that it cannot swivel. This helps to keep the bed on a straight line.
To use the steering castor: Position the bed so all castors line up in the direction of travel. Raise the pedals to lock the steering castor and move the bed by pushing it from the opposite end of the steering castor.
CPR backrest release
Pull the red manual CPR lever located on either side of the bed to quickly lower the backrest.
