a. There must be power to the bed, either AC or battery, for the Emergency Trendelenburg function to operate.
NOTE: In this document, there are references to different bed models. To identify your bed model, look at the serial number label. The label is on the right side of the weigh frame, under the patient’s shoulder. For example, P3200AXXXX identifies an A model bed. Also in this document where two versions of a symbol are shown, one or the other will be used on your bed.

Emergency CPR
Emergency Trendelenburg
The emergency CPR controls are handles located under the sleep deck, between the head and intermediate siderails on both sides of the bed. NOTE: The headboard can be used as a CPR board. 1. Pull and hold the CPR handle. If the bed has an treatment/therapy surface, the surface will go into Max-Inflate. 2. Hold the CPR handle until the head and knee section come to a stop in the flat position. 3. Release the CPR handle.
The emergency Trendelenburg controls are handles located under the sleep deck, between the head and intermediate siderails on both sides of the bed. The handles used to operate CPR are also used to operate emergency Trendelenburg. NOTE: There must be power to the bed, either AC or battery, for the Emergency Trendelenburg function to operate. 1. Make sure the bed is plugged into AC power or the battery is activated. 2. Pull and hold the CPR handle. 3. Hold the CPR handle until the head and knee section come to a stop in the flat position. 4. Continue to hold the CPR handle until you reach the applicable bed angle. 5. Release the CPR handle.
Safety and Information Indicators
NOTE: A through F models have the wrench (Service is Required) indicator only.
Plug (Disconnected from AC Power) If the bed is disconnected from AC power and the battery is active, the plug indicator flashes.
Wrench (Service Is Required) When the wrench indicator comes on solid or flashes, contact your facility-authorized maintenance person.
Battery • ON = battery is active. • FLASHING = battery needs to be charged. • OFF = battery is inactive or is discharged below the level necessary to operate the motors.
Brake Not Set If the bed is connected to AC power, and the brake is not set, the Brake Not Set indicator (available on some beds) flashes and a continuous alarm comes on. Set the brake to stop the alarm.
NOTE: For the indicators to operate, there must be AC or battery power to the bed. Emergency CPR and Trendelenburg and Safety and Information Indicators

Obstacle Detect™ System, Battery, and Foot Controls
Obstacle Detect™ System
Battery Back-up
The bed is equipped with the Obstacle Detect™ System that runs along the three open sides of the base frame. This system detects objects that are between the upper frame and the base frame. If an object is detected, the Bed Not Down indicator on both siderails will flash and you will not be able to lower the bed. If an object is detected while the bed sleep deck is lowering, the bed will stop lowering, and then raise automatically for 2 seconds. The Bed Not Down indicator on both siderails will flash.
When the bed does not receive AC power, battery back-up can be activated. When the bed operates on battery back-up- • The functions on the caregiver control panel are available. • The functions on the control pod are not available, and the surface indicators are off. • The battery stays active for 10 minutes (A through J models) or 1 minute (K model and newer) after the last control is used. The battery indicator on the caregiver control panel shows its status (see “Battery” on page 3).
• K model and newer-press any caregiver siderail control except the Lockout control.
Foot Controls 1. To enable the controls, step down on one of the Head Down/Up or Bed Down/Up pedals for 1 to 3 seconds. 2. Release the pedal. 3. Step down on the pedal of the applicable function until the bed is in the correct position.
Activate • A through J models-press the Battery control that is at the right-side head end, just below the power cord. Bed Down/Up

Treatment/ Therapy Surface Troubleshooting NOTE: If the troubleshooting information shown below does not fix the problem, contact your facility-authorized maintenance person.
The Wrench (Service Is Required) Indicator Is On or Flashing When the wrench indicator comes on solid or flashes, contact your facility-authorized maintenance person.
The Surface Does Not Inflate or Does Not Inflate Correctly Make sure of these: • The bed is plugged into AC power. • The Service Is Required indicator is not on or flashing. • You press the Enable control before you press the applicable mattress function. • The surface has been put into Sleep mode; not turned off. If you press the Max-Inflate and the Normal/Pressure Relief controls at the same time, the surface will turn off. If the surface is off for an extended amount of time, the mattress could deflate.
Page 14 of 16
• To turn the surface on- 1. Press the Enable control. 2. Press any surface control until its indicator is on solid. To activate Sleep mode, refer to “Sleep Mode” on page 13. • The scale system is used correctly. If it is not used correctly, the surface may go into the non-operational safe mode (see “All Surface Mode Indicators are Flashing” on page 14). To make sure the scale system is used correctly, refer to “30° Head Angle Alarm (G Model and Newer)” on page 9. • The mattress retaining straps at the head and foot ends of the bed are installed in their retainers.
Retainer
Retaining Strap
Turn Assist Does Not Work Make sure of these: • The bed is plugged into AC power. • The siderails that the patient is turning toward are in the up and locked position. • The head section is below 25°. • You press the Enable control before you press the applicable Turn Assist Mode control.
All Surface Mode Indicators are Flashing The patient should not be on the surface; the surface is in the non-operational safe mode. 1. Make sure the mattress hose connections are fully connected to the bed frame. 2. Reset the surface as follows: a.Press the Enable control. b.Press the Normal/Pressure Relief control until its indicator is on solid. c.If the surface does not reset, unplug the bed, wait 10 seconds, and then plug the bed in. The surface should go into the Normal/Pressure Relief mode.
For detailed Warning and Caution statements, and operating instructions, refer to the VersaCare® Bed User Manual (USR119 for A through J models; 161956 for K model and newer).
For detailed Warning and Caution statements, and operating instructions, refer to the VersaCare® Bed User Manual (USR119 for A through J models; 161956 for K model and newer). Evaluate patients for entrapment risk according to facility protocol, and monitor patients appropriately. Make sure all siderails are fully latched when in the raised position. Failure to do either of these could cause serious injury or death. Relative Contraindication for beds with a treatment/therapy surface- use of active therapy surfaces with patients with unstabilized spinal cord injury could cause serious injury to the patient. Beds with the Boost® Position System-do not use the Boost® function if there are concerns of spinal instability. To do so could cause patient injury. We recommend that you do not transport a patient when the bed is in the Chair or Boost® positions. And, use caution if you transport a patient when the bed is in the Trendelenburg or Reverse Trendelenburg positions. IV pole use-the head-end equipment sockets do not move up and down with the sleep deck. Use applicable precautions with gravity-sensitive devices such as ventricular drains or lumbar drains before, during, and after you operate the bed functions. Make sure flow rates on all gravityfed IVs are correct after you adjust the bed height. Failure to correctly manage patient equipment could cause patient injury.
Make sure the bed is in the low position when the patient is unattended. This can reduce the possibility of patient falls and the severity of any resultant injuries. NOTE: Whenever the bed is not in its low position, the Bed Not Down indicator will be on. Bed with an auxiliary outlet-do not plug both power cords into the same wall receptacle. Plug the power cords into different receptacles on separate circuits. Failure to do so can cause equipment damage or tripping of facility power breakers. Do not use the accessory receptacle for life support equipment. Plug life support equipment directly into facility power supply. Beds with the IntelliDrive® Transport System-if the bed moves forward or reverse unintentionally, contact your facility-authorized maintenance person. Failure to do so can cause personal injury or equipment damage. Beds with the Line Managers-do not use the Line Manager for ventilator circuits. To do so could cause patient injury.
