DO NOT use the bed without a mattress at least 4” (100mm) thick and of recommended
dimensions.
MATTRESS SPECIFICATIONS
A mattress is not included with this bed. It is highly recommended that you use a 35.5”
(900mm) wide mattress that is designed to conform to the bed length of 80” (2032mm).

Possible patient ENTRAPMENT Hazard if using non-specified mattress, patient entrapment may
result in an injury. Use only a mattress of recommended specifications with this bed.
• DO NOT use without a special mattress specifically designed to bend and conform to the
shape of the bed.
• DO NOT use a water filled or gel filled mattress on this bed.

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

• Do not use headboards or footboards from other manufacturers.

• Ensure all deck hinges are properly aligned before raising head or knee sections.
• Ensure that the headboard and footboard are properly attached to the frame.

• This bed is rated to 35 stone / 227kg. DO NOT overload the bed. The combined weigh of
patients, visitors, mattress and bedding must NOT exceed 35 stone / 227kg.
The maximum load on either side rail is 12 stone / 77kg.

At the installation
The person supplying and setting up the bed will show staff how it operates.

All staff that may come into contact with the bed whether nurses, cleaners or porters will need to
understand how the bed operates.

A further training session may be required for the above standard to be met and in order to
consolidate staff competence.

REMEMBER:
Training in the use of equipment is a legal requirement

The prerequisites for using the Spirit Ultra Low bed are that it has been electrically
tested and that the person operating it has had instruction in its use. The bed must
also have an up-to-date hospital inspection record.

SPIRIT™ USER MANUAL - VERSION 01-2013 PAGE 3/20

 WARNING

Familiarise yourself with the various functions.

Care should be taken that there is no wall - mounted obstruction to prevent the bed moving
vertically.

Ensure that nothing can get trapped underneath the bed when it is lowered.
(Examples: slippers / pillows / walking sticks etc.)

It is essential that the power cable does not get trapped between moving parts. Check before
lowering the bed.

DO NOT allow patients to fall on the bed.

DO NOT Jump on the bed.

Each of the preceding impacts can permanently damage either Hi/Lo motor resulting in an
inoperable bed. In the case of an inoperable bed due to a damaged Hi /Lo motor remove the
bed from service and replace the Hi/Lo motor immediately. If left unattended, a damaged Hi/
Lo motor could result in patient injury.

ONLY use original manufacturers replacement parts

bed functions. To restrict a function, press the “PATIENT LOCK”
button under that particular function (see DIA 32). The lock icon DIA 32
will illuminate when the function is locked-out for the patient.

Steer pedal at either end of the bed. See DIA 36.
2. Slide the bed sideways, in a back and fourth
motion, at the foot end of the bed until the
steering casters are engaged. See DIA 37.

NOTE: When the ”NEUTRAL” mode is activated DIA 37 DIA 38

any unusual noises. If any clicking noises are
present in the neutral mode, stop and check
that the pedal is level. Adjust, if necessary.

is level.

SPIRIT™ USER MANUAL - VERSION 01-2013 PAGE 17/20

INFECTION CONTROL
Spirit Ultra Low Bed quad side rails, headboard and footboard, have been treated to kill bacteria
that come in contact with these bed surfaces. This treatment lasts throughout the life of the bed and
is effective against numerous bacteria, including MRSA and e-coli. In addition, the detachable
mattress deck provides easy and thorough cleaning of the entire surface, while the fiber-composite
material reduces moisture build-up.

CLEANING ADVICE
• The SPIRT™ bed is manufactured to IPX4 : this is “moderate resistance to ingress of liquids and
dust”.
• The bed can be washed in a low-pressure spray booth.
• All normal hospital cleaners can be used e.g. 1/10,000 chlorine
• DO NOT USE PHENOL - BASED CLEANERS
• ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE POWER BEFORE CLEANING
If you require any further advice please call Montcalm International on 01865 409926.
