SCALE OPERATIONS

Weighing the Patient:

STAND ASSIST

To Activate Stand Assist:

• One button simultaneously levels legs to a flat position and raises the head-of-bed to position the patient safely.

Note:

• If equipped with a Centrella® max-powered air surface, the seat section of the bed will automatically inflate to provide more support for the patient.

Pro Tip:

• Teach your patients to use Stand Assist on their patient pendant*. Non-fall-risk patients can use this on their own and fall-risk patients can use this proactively before they get bedside.
  *Patient pendants are an optional feature.

AUDIBLE ALERTS

Two Types of Audible Alerts:

• Single Beep: Activity was performed successfully (i.e., when the bed reaches the lowest position).
