CAUTION:
When lowering the upper section of an IV pole, always grasp and hold the upper
section of the pole before pulling the release knob. Failure to do so may cause
equipment damage.
NOTE:
Make sure when you mount infusion pumps on an IV pole that they do not interfere with
the head section articulation.
The IV pole is a removable, telescopic pole that installs in any of the sockets at any of the
four corners of the bed. The IV pole has a safe working load of 25 lb (11 kg).
To install the IV pole, insert the pole into any of the four sockets. Rotate the pole a quarter
turn to lock it into position. Removal is opposite of installation.
NOTE:
Added height recommended for gravity drain applications.
Infusion Support System (P158 and P158A01)
WARNING:
If the Infusion Support System (ISS) pole is installed at the foot end
of the bed, make sure the Knee Up/Down controls are locked out.
Failure to do so can result in personal injury or equipment damage.
WARNING:
The head-end equipment sockets do not move up and down with the
sleep deck. Use appropriate precautions with gravity-sensitive
devices such as ventricular drains or lumbar drains before, during,
and after operating bed functions. Make sure flow rates on all gravity-fed IVs are
correct after bed height adjustment. Failure to correctly manage patient
equipment could result in patient injury.
WARNING:
Do not exceed the load capacity of the ISS pole. If the ISS pole is overloaded,
personal injury or equipment damage could occur.
CAUTION:
When lowering the upper section of an ISS pole, always grasp and hold the upper
section of the pole before pulling the release knob. Equipment damage could
occur.
NOTE:
Make sure when you mount infusion pumps on an IV pole that they do not interfere with
the head section articulation.
The ISS consists of a movable and adjustable IV pole. The pole supports IV pumps or
bags in a vertical orientation and raises or lowers the pumps or bags with respect to the
system frame. The P158A01 is only removed with the use of tools. The ISS pole has a safe
working load of 20 lb (9 kg).
