VersaCare® Bed User Manual (161956 REV 2) 63
Preventive Maintenance
Only facility-authorized personnel should service the VersaCare® Bed. Servicing
performed by unauthorized personnel could result in personal injury or equipment
damage.
The VersaCare® Bed requires an effective maintenance program. We recommend that you
perform annual preventive maintenance (PM) and testing for The Joint Commission
(formerly JCAHO). PM and testing not only meet Joint Commission requirements but will
help make sure of a long, operative life for the VersaCare® Bed. PM will minimize
downtime due to excessive wear. For the preventive maintenance schedule, refer to the
VersaCare® Bed Service Manual (161955).
Perform annual preventive maintenance procedures to make sure all VersaCare® Bed
components are functioning as originally designed. Pay particular attention to safety
features, including but not limited to the following:
• Siderail latching mechanisms
• Caster braking systems
• Electrical system components
• Electrical power cords for fraying, damage, and proper grounding
• All controls return to off or neutral position when released
• Controls or cabling entanglement in system mechanisms or siderails
• Proper operation of the lockout controls
• Integrity of sleep surface ticking
• Actual angle of the head section compared to the degree shown on the display (beds
with the Head Angle Display option)
VersaCare® Bed Main Battery
Replace the battery if any of the following conditions exist:
• The battery indicator does not light within 2 hours of bed connection to AC power.
• The battery indicator does not stop flashing (low condition) within 12 hours of bed
connection to AC power.
Discard or recycle the batteries in accordance with local regulations.
IntelliDrive® Transport System Batteries
Replace the batteries if the IntelliDrive® Transport System automatically shuts down
power before the final battery charge indicator flashes (refer to the VersaCare® Bed
Service Manual (161955).
After replacing the batteries, charge them for a minimum of 20 hours before use.
Discard or recycle the batteries in accordance with local regulations.
