Description

TotalCare Bed used with AccuMax Quantum VPC mattress AccuMax Quantum Complete mattress, and AccuMax Quantum Convertible mattress The TotalCare Bed System is intended to provide a patient support ideally suited to be used in health care environments. The TotalCare Bed System may be used in a variety of settings including, but not limited to, acute care, including critical care, step down/progressive care, medical/surgical, high acuity sub-acute care, post anesthesia care unit (PACU), and sections of the emergency department (ED). The TotalCare Bed System is capable of being used with a broad patient population as determined appropriate by the caregiver or institution.

Reason

When the bed is put into the chair egress position, the magnets on the mattress may not hold the bottom of the mattress flat to the bed frame, and the mattress foot section will extend away from the bed at an angle. A patient attempting to get back into the bed may miss the seat and sit on the foot section instead. The patient can slide down to the floor, or fall, with possible injury.
