IMPORTANT SAFETY AND WARNING INFORMATION
!
  This product is a variable height, adjustable 
mattress platform, which will provide comfort and 
convenience for residents/patients and caregivers in 
long term care settings.
!
  The MAXIMUM SAFE WORKING LOAD for the 
Zenith 7000 Bed with weight evenly distributed, 
including bedding, resident/patient, support surface, 
and all accessories, is 500 lb.
!
  NEVER operate the bed if a Power Cord or Plug is 
damaged or not working properly. Contact qualied 
Service Personnel for examination and repair. 
Always unplug the Power Cord before performing 
maintenance on the bed.
!
  DO NOT open assemblies such as the Actuators, 
Hand Control Pendant, or Control Box. If 
unauthorized personnel perform work on these 
components, the manufacturer’s warranty becomes 
void.
!
  DO NOT use unauthorized parts, accessories, or 
adaptors other than those specied/authorized by GF 
Health Products, Inc.
!
  When operating the HI/LO, Knee, or Back Functions 
of the bed, ALWAYS ensure the conned individual 
is positioned properly within the connes of the 
bed. DO NOT let any extremities protrude over the 
side or between the bed rails when performing these 
functions.
!
  DO NOT lower the bed when objects are beneath it. 
Failure to inspect under the bed can result in personal 
injury or property damage.
!
  The bed’s Hand Control Pendant Cable MUST BE 
ROUTED AND SECURED PROPERLY to ensure 
it does not become entangled and eventually severed 
during use. Also ensure electrical cords DO NOT 
get tangled around the bed, side rails, or legs during 
transport or normal operation of the bed.
!
  When using nasal-type or masked-type administering 
equipment, all oxygen or air tubing MUST BE 
ROUTED AND SECURED PROPERLY to ensure 
that the tubing does not become entangled and 
eventually severed during the normal operation of the 
bed.
!
  Keep all moving parts free of obstructions (i.e. 
blankets/sheets, heating blankets/pads, wiring, etc.).
!
  Beds manufactured by Basic American Medical 
Products are designed for use within an institutional 
healthcare environment (i.e. assisted living, skilled 
nursing, transitional care, rehabilitation care, etc.).
!
  DO NOT use the assist devices as push handles for 
moving the bed. Assist devices can be deformed or 
broken if excessive side pressure is exerted. Assist 
devices are not meant for patients considered high 
risks for entrapment (i.e. patients with pre-existing 
conditions such as confusion, restlessness, lack of 
muscle control, altered mental status, either organic 
or medicinal, or a combination thereof). Additional 
safety measures should be considered for such high-
risk patients.
!
  NEVER permit more than one person on/in the bed at 
any time.
!
  Body weight should be evenly distributed over the 
sleeping surface of the bed. DO NOT allow the 
patient to lie, sit, or lean in such a way that their 
entire body weight is placed only on the raised head 
or foot section of the bed. This especially applies 
when repositioning or transferring a patient in or 
out of the bed. Increased risk may occur when the 
patient’s size and/or weight are inappropriate for the 
bed’s dimensions or weight capacity.
!
  Risk of entanglement or injury may occur if the 
mattress used with mattress retainers does not ll the 
entire width between stops or which compresses to 
less than 1.50 inches under user’s weight.
!
  Mattress must be properly sized to t the mattress 
support platform and must remain centered on 
the support platform relative to State and Federal 
guidelines. Recommended minimum dimensions 
of mattress are 35 inches wide and 6 inches deep. 
Length should match the mattress support platform. 
Use of an improperly tted mattress could result in 
injury or death.
!
  IMPORTANT: Powered air mattress surfaces may 
pose a risk of entrapment. Prior to use, ensure the 
therapeutic benets outweigh the risk of entrapment.
!
  The bed is intended for use, storage, and transport 
within a temperature range of -40˚C to 60˚C. It has 
a water resistance rating of IPX4 and IS NOT to be 
power washed or submerged.
