Citadel Plus Bariatric Care System
GENERAL WARNINGS The following warnings should be considered prior to using this product:
Before using the bed, make sure that the Power in rating on the specification label is compatible with the local electricity supply. To make sure the patient can use the bed safely, their age and condition should be assessed by a clinically-qualified person. The use of head down tilt (Trendelenburg) or foot down tilt (reverse Trendelenburg) may be contraindicated for certain medical conditions. The tilt function should only be used under the guidance of a clinically-qualified person after assessment of the patient’s condition. All accessories added to the system reduce the safe working load of the frame by the same amount. If the power cord or plug is damaged, the complete assembly must be replaced by authorized service personnel. Do not remove the fitted plug, or use a rewireable plug or adapter. Make sure the power cord is not stretched, kinked or crushed. Do not allow the power cord to trail on the floor where it may cause a trip hazard. Make sure the power cord does not become entangled with moving parts of the bed or trapped between the bed frame and head board. Always adjust the bed frame and deck to the same length and make sure both are latched securely in position. Always use a mattress of the correct size and type. Incompatible mattresses can create hazards. Entrapment hazards may exist when using a very soft mattress, even if it is the correct size. The clinically qualified person responsible should consider the age, size and condition of the patient before allowing the use of side rails. Side rails are not intended to restrain patients who make a deliberate attempt to exit the bed. To prevent possible entrapment, make sure the patient’s head and limbs are clear of the side rails when adjusting the deck. Make sure the locking mechanism is securely engaged when the side rails are raised.

Prior to engaging any mattress turn feature, make sure that bed frame has side rails and that all side rails are fully engaged in their full upright and locked position. Do not activate the turning feature on any mattress system when patient restraints are in use. Patient restraints should be used in compliance with all applicable federal and state regulations and in accordance with the healthcare facility’s own policies and procedures. Patient restraints, even when correctly used, can result in entrapment or injury, particularly if the patient is disorientated or restless. The decision to use patient restraints must be made by the clinician overseeing the care of the individual patient, following a fully documented risk assessment. Patient restraints are not intended as substitutes for good nursing practice. Arjo makes no recommendations regarding the use of such restraints. To make sure the battery is kept fully charged and prevent damage to the battery, the bed should be connected to the electricity supply at all times during normal use. The battery is intended for emergency, short term use only. Its life will be reduced if it is used to power the bed for long periods. Only connect devices designed to be used with the bed. Connecting devices not designed to be used with the bed may result in damage to the equipment or to the bed. At minimum height, clearance underneath the side rails is reduced. Keep your feet away from the areas below the side rails and take extra care when using patient hoists or similar equipment. The weighing system should only be used by staff trained in the correct use of the weighing function. The weighing system should only be used in closely supervised environments, where factors influencing patient weight (such as additions to the bed) can be controlled as described in the following instructions for use. Scale Readings - Scales / patient weights are for reference only. Scale readings should not be relied upon for medication dosage. All equipment on the weighed portion of the unit is included in weight displayed. The weighing system MUST be zeroed every time a new patient is to be placed on the bed. The weighing system MUST be zeroed every time a mattress is changed. The weighing system cannot be zeroed if a mattress or accessories weighing more than 50 kg (110 lb) are fitted. To make sure the bed can be zeroed correctly, only use Arjo-approved mattresses. 6

Safety Information General Protocols – Follow all applicable safety rules and institution protocols concerning patient and caregiver safety. Brakes – Set all caster brakes before transferring patient. Bed Height – To minimize risk of falls or injury, the bed should always be in the lowest practical position when the patient is unattended. Fluids – Avoid spilling fluids on unit controls. If spills do occur, unplug unit, clean fluid from unit, 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 to operate erratically, possibly producing hazards for patient and staff. Oxygen Use - Make sure that the unit 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. Lock-Outs – Lock-outs for bed functions should be used at staff’s discretion to prevent unintentional operation of bed. Power Cord – Make sure power cord is kept free from all pinch points, moving parts and is not trapped under casters. Improper handling of power cord can cause damage to the cord, which may produce risk of fire or electric shock. Pull the power cord out of the mains wall outlet to remove power from the unit. Avoid Fire Hazards – To minimize the risk of fire, connect the unit’s power cord directly into a wall-mounted outlet. Do not use extension cords or multiple outlet strips. In the US, review and follow FDA’s Safety Tips for Preventing Hospital Bed Fires. Outside the US, consult the local Competent Authority or Government Agency for Medical Device Safety for specific local guidance. 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, leaded foam and / or angle sensors (if present in this product). Improper disposal of any component may result in regulatory non-compliance. Moving Parts - Keep all equipment, tubes and lines, loose clothing, hair and parts of the body away from moving parts and pinch points. Patient Entrance / Exit – Caregiver should always aid patient in exiting the bed. 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. 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 8
Citadel Plus Bariatric Care System
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 specific local guidance on Medical Device Safety. Consult a care giver 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 (as defined by IEC 60601-2-52:2015), make sure the distance between top of side rails (if used) and top of mattress (without compression) is at least 22 cm (8.66 in) 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. Make sure the distance between top of side rails (if used) and top of a speciality mattress (as defined by IEC 60601-2-52:2015) (without compression) is approximately 11.4 cm (4.5 in) 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 and consider adjunct or alternative therapies for high acuity patients. Give extra attention to skin over any raised side bolster and to any other possible pressure points and locations where moisture or incontinence may occur or collect. Early intervention may be essential to preventing skin breakdown. Maximum Recommended Patient Weight - Total patient weight capacity should not exceed 454 kg (1000 lb). The use of accessories on the bed may decrease the patient weight capacity of the bed. Contact Arjo Customer Service for questions concerning the use of accessories and see the Questions and Contact Information section of this guide for contact information. I.V. and Drainage Tubes – Prior to activating any positioning function assess the security of all invasive lines and tubes to accommodate the desired angle of articulation and minimize the risk of binding, disconnecting or dislodging. Tubes and lines should always have sufficient slack for articulation and patient movement. Turning - Prior to engaging any mattress turn feature, make sure that bed frame has side rails and that all side rails are fully engaged in their full upright and locked position. Do not activate the turning feature on any mattress system when patient restraints are in use. Citadel Plus Bariatric Care System

Scale Readings - Scales / patient weights are for reference only. Scale readings should not be relied upon for medication dosage. All equipment on the weighed portion of the unit is included in weight displayed. 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. 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 of articulation and guard against risks of patient migration or inadvertent deflation of surface. Electromagnetic Interference – Although this equipment conforms with the intent of electromagnetic compatibility, all electrical equipment may produce interference. If interference is suspected, move equipment away from sensitive devices or contact the manufacturer. Shock Hazard – Electrical shock hazard; do not remove electrical compartment covers. Refer to qualified service personnel.
Power Drive System Safety Information To minimize the risk of serious injury, carefully read and follow all Safety Information and Operating Instructions before operating Power Drive System. Also make sure all physician orders and facility protocols are followed. Steep Slopes - When operating on slopes, always use slow speed. Do not operate on slopes in excess of > 7°. Wet Surfaces - Do not operate power drive system on wet surfaces. Indoor Use Only - Do not operate power drive on outside walkways, outside ramps or parking lots. Unplug - Ensure power cord is unplugged from wall and properly stored before transport. Clear Area - Ensure area beneath power drive system is clear before engaging drive system.
