1.2 Product Description
The Contouraâ C980B series are acute care beds designed to

accommodate patients weighing up to 250kg. The beds have multiple
patient positioning functions and other features to aid patient therapy.
A self-contained weighing system enables continuous monitoring of
patient weight and weight change.
The bed has a four-section profiling mattress platform with power driven
adjustment of bed height, two-way tilt angle, backrest angle and leg
elevation. Kneebreak angle is manually adjustable with power assistance
by gas spring.
The mattress platform incorporates a built-in bed extension and
removable (lift off) headboard and footboard. Revolving buffers are
provided on all four corners.
The bed may be supplied with single section (¾ length) safety sides or
split safety sides, the latter having two sections which may be raised or
lowered independently.
The bed is mounted on four 12.5cm castors with braking and steering
facility. The complete base of the bed is enclosed by a moulded cover.
Figure 1-1 Contoura C980B with split safety sides
5 746-270-2
11/05
On all models the power driven functions of height, backrest angle and
leg elevation are operated by push button controls. The Auto Contour
button simultaneously operates both backrest and leg elevation. The push
button handset(s) is accessible to either patient or attendant. It may be
pendant type or built-in to split safety sides.
An additional handset, for use by the attendant, is stored beneath the
Attendant Control Panel (ACP) at the foot of the bed. Tilt angle can be
controlled only from the attendant handset. The ACP enables the power
driven functions to be individually disabled. Operation of the bed by the
patient is thus at the discretion of the attendant.
The electrical actuators consist of a screw and nut assembly driven by a
24V d.c. motor and gearbox. Power for the actuators is derived from a
mains operated d.c. power supply with emergency battery back up.
A built-in power socket allows Huntleigh Healthcare air mattresses to be
connected directly to the bed. The socket is supplied from an
uninterruptable power supply (UPS) which will maintain operation of the
mattress system in the event of mains power failure or when the bed is
being moved. Some Models may be supplied without the power socket
and UPS.
The bed is equipped with an integral patient weighing system, which is
supplied with power from the UPS (if fitted).
Model C985B bed is equipped with an X-ray translucent backrest
incorporating a cassette carrier to provide the facility for chest X-ray
photography.
Model C988B bed is equipped with a full-length X-ray translucent
mattress platform, allowing head-to-toe X-ray photography to be carried
out.

1.3 Operation
1.3.1 Brakes and Steering
At the foot of the bed is a pair of linked brake pedals that operate on all
four castors.
When the pedal is pushed down, the brakes are applied on all four castors.
When the pedals are in the middle position, the brakes are free and all
four castors are able to rotate and swivel.
When the pedal is lifted up, one head end castor is engaged so that it
cannot swivel. Always engage the castor in line and trailing. The bed can
then be steered by pushing from the foot end.

disconnected from the mains power supply. The batteries will enable
12 746-270-2
11/05
emergency power operation for short periods, e.g. when the bed is being
moved.
To ensure that the batteries are kept fully charged, the bed must be
connected to the mains power supply at all times during normal use.
If, when the bed is operated using the batteries, a bleeping sound is heard,
this indicates a low charge condition. The bed should be re-connected to
the mains power supply, for a minimum of 24 hours, in order to recharge
the batteries.
The battery charge indicator on the ACP illuminates when the batteries
are being charged.
1.3.6 CPR Emergency

For information regarding use of the x-ray facility, refer to the User
Instructions, publication number 746-194 (for C888/ACC1 dual X-ray
cassette trays) or 746-211 (for C988B/ACC1 X-ray cassette with
positioning pole).
1.4 Patient Weighing System
1.4.1 General
Four load cells are installed in the bed frame. The electrical output signals
from the load cells are integrated in a load converter (QLC) which
provides a single output to the user interface. Separate displays are
provided for patient weight and patient weight change.
1.4.2 Accuracy
The weighing system is very sensitive and will be affected by a number

of outside influences. It is therefore important that the following criteria
are observed.
a) The bed must be installed on a flat and level floor.
b) The transport screws must be fully disengaged prior to use (Figure
1-13).
c) The bed should be positioned clear of obstructions such as walls,
furniture, trailing leads or curtains.
d) The weighing system should be used within the normal operating
15 746-270-2
11/05
ambient temperature range of 10°C to 40°C.
e) For best results, the patient should be positioned approximately
centrally on the bed.
f) The weighing system is capable of detecting relatively small
movements of the patient. It is therefore necessary for patient
movement to be minimised during the few seconds required to
obtain a stabilised reading and that the operator / nurse stands clear
of the bed during this time.
g) When weighing, the handsets must be replaced in position on the
platform.

1.5 Error Indications
1.5.1 (1) Zeroing Error
A series of horizontal dashes along the centre of the display indicates a

zeroing error.
In order to maintain accuracy over its weighing range, the system can
only be set to zero within 50kg of the original calibrated zero. The dashes
indicate that an excessive amount of equipment has been added to the bed
prior to setting the initial zero. This is why it is recommended that only
the mattress and bed linen are added to the bed prior to setting zero for
the bed.
To clear this error: remove all equipment from the bed except mattress
and bed linen. Disconnect the weighing system from the power supply
(turn off the UPS) for a few seconds. Reconnect the power supply and
then re-zero the displays.
When installing additional equipment on the bed, use the auto-
compensation facility.
1.5.2 (2) Overload Error
A series of horizontal dashes along the top edge of the display indicates
21 746-270-2
11/05
that the safe working load of 250kg has been exceeded.
This means either the patient is too heavy for the bed or an excessive
amount of equipment has been added to the bed prior to placing the
patient on the bed.
If the latter is the case, remove equipment from the bed using the auto-
compensation facility.
1.5.3 (3) Auto-Compensation Error
A series of horizontal dashes along the lower edge of the display indicates
that the allowable limit for added equipment of 100kg has been exceeded.
To clear this error, press the Reset button. The

display will revert to showing gross weight.
To proceed, remove all additional equipment
from the bed, thereby returning to a display
showing patient weight. Then, using the auto-
compensation facility, replace all the additional
equipment previously fitted.
Alternatively, remove the last piece of
equipment added and manually input the patient
weight.
If, when the Reset button is pressed, a series of horizontal dashes appear
along the top edge of the display, this indicates an overload condition.
Refer to (2) above.
22 746-270-2
11/05
1.6 Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS)
The UPS is located in an enclosure on the base of the bed at the head-end. It
provides power at 230V a.c. to the outlet socket at the foot-end of the bed as
well as to the patient weighing system. When the bed is disconnected from the
mains power supply the UPS will continue to provide this power derived from
its own internal batteries.
To turn the UPS off: Open the cover (1) on the patient’s left-hand side of the
enclosure and press the on/off button (2).
Figure 1-15 UPS on/off switch

To turn the UPS on: Open the cover (1), press and hold the on / off button (2)
for approximately 10 seconds. The button contains an LED that will be green in
normal circumstances.
An audible warning beep sounds when the mains power is

disconnected and the UPS is in operation. If this occurs, restore
+ mains power to the bed as soon as possible. If the unit continues to
beep when the mains power is restored, contact Huntleigh
Healthcare.
If the UPS has been in use and its internal batteries have become discharged,
reconnect to the mains power supply then turn the UPS off and back on again as
described above. This will reinitialise the UPS and, over an eight-hour period,
recharge the batteries to full capacity.

2 OPERATIONAL MAINTENANCE
2.1 General
The equipment has been designed to be virtually maintenance free

between service intervals. The extent of periodic cleaning and
maintenance necessary will be determined by use and condition.
Examine the bed for obvious signs of damage. If found take appropriate
remedial action.
2.2 Cleaning
WARNING
Disconnect the bed from the mains power supply and switch off
the UPS before cleaning.
Cleaning Wearing suitable protective clothing, clean all surfaces with

a disposable cloth soaked in a neutral detergent and hand hot
water.
The head and foot end panels can be removed from the bed
for cleaning. If the bed has detachable mattress platform
sheets these can also be removed for cleaning.
Start by cleaning the upper sections of the bed and work
along all horizontal surfaces. Work methodically towards the
lower sections of the bed and clean the wheels last. Take
extra care to clean areas that may trap dust or dirt.
Rinse with clean water and dry with disposable paper towels.
Allow the cleaned parts to dry before replacing the mattress.
24 746-270-2
11/05
Disinfecting After cleaning the bed as described above, wipe all surfaces
with Sodium Dichloroisocyanurate (NaDCC) at a
concentration of 1,000 parts per million (0.1%) of available
chlorine.
In the case of pooling body fluids, e.g. blood, the

7 CALIBRATION
7.1 Calibration of Height/Tilt Actuators
Minor accumulated errors in service may result in lost position (non-

parallelism) of the height actuators, as a result of which the bed may not
return to a true horizontal position. This may be automatically corrected
by driving the bed to its lowest height. If this is not effective, the
condition can be rectified by the re-calibration procedure described
below.
7.1.1 Preliminary
Ensure that the bed is connected to the mains power supply. Set the rotary
‘lock-out’ switches on the attendant control panel to enable all the bed
functions. Raise the leg section to about 5°.
7.1.2 Procedure
a) On any of the patient control handsets, press any three of the top
four buttons simultaneously and keep them pressed.
b) A continuous beep sound should be heard from the control box. If
not, repeat step a).
c) After approximately 5 seconds, the continuous sound should
change to an intermittent beep. (This indicates that the control box
is in calibration mode.) Release the push buttons.
d) Press the Height Down button for a few seconds. (This will drive
one of the base actuators inwards.)
e) Press the Height Up button for a few seconds. (This will drive the
other base actuator inwards.)
f) Repeat steps d) and e) until the deck is level at bottom height.
g) At this stage the system will recognise that calibration is complete.
The intermittent beep will stop and the system will revert back to
normal operation.
If at any time during calibration there is a period of more than 5

seconds before a button is operated, the system will revert to
+ normal operation and calibration data will not be stored.
Calibration data will only be stored after completion of all steps a)
to f) listed above i.e., when both base actuators are fully retracted.

APPENDIX A
ASSEMBLY SPARES MANUAL
A-1 General
The Assembly Spares Manual is for the identification and requisition of

replaceable parts. It contains assembly drawings of the equipment and
sub-assemblies. Each drawing sheet is accompanied by its related parts
list.
The Assembly / Spares Manual Modification Record (ASMMR) is the
configuration control document for the equipment.
The ASMMR identifies the sheet number and issue number of all
drawings relevant to a particular equipment. A separate ASMMR is
included for each model number covered by this manual.
A-2 How to Use the Assembly Spares Manual
Refer to the relevant ASMMR for the equipment model number.

By reference to the equipment serial number and the ASMMR, identify
the applicable drawing. Find the part on the drawing and note the item
number, which is given in a balloon. Refer to the related parts list for
information regarding the part.
Sometimes a number of identical parts may appear in different locations
but only one will be identified with a balloon. The number in the “Qty”
column of the parts list indicates the total number of times that the part
appears in the drawing.
When a part has optional variations, the last column of the parts list refers
to a separate drawing sheet defining the choices.

APPENDIX B
DISPOSAL OF GAS SPRINGS

The gas spring contains air and oil at high pressure and must be vented in
accordance with the following instructions before being discarded.
Under no circumstances should any attempt be made to open the device.
WARNING
Danger of explosion. Do not heat or incinerate.
High pressure gas. The sudden release of gas at high pressure
could cause serious injury or death. Wear suitable protective
clothing, eye protection and/or a face shield.
1. Operate the valve at the end of the piston rod and allow the piston rod
to extend fully.
2. Clamp the gas spring in a vice and drill a hole approximately 3mm
diameter at position 1 as shown in Figure B-1. Screen off the drilling
point because metal chips and oil may be ejected due to the high
internal pressure. Then drill a second hole at position 2 as shown. The
holes should be drilled to a depth of approximately 10mm.
Figure B-1 Disposal of gas springs
3. Operate the valve at the end of the piston rod and push in the piston
rod.
4. Drain oil from the gas spring by pumping the piston rod in and out
several times.
5. Dispose of the gas spring and oil through raw materials trade or
special refuse points. Do not dispose of gas springs or oil in household
refuse.
If correct disposal in accordance with these instructions is not possible,
the unit should be returned to the supplier.
