Arjo Total Lift Bed
Arjo · Model Total Lift Bed
Complying with early mobility protocols Patented Foot Lifter Footboard Safety during movement while standing Patented weight bearing control system Flexible positioning In bed chair position
Key tips
- ·Mounting and securement hardware takes real fatigue from vibration and road shock - inspect it as carefully as the device itself.
- ·Post-call battery and function checks catch transport-induced faults that a scheduled PM would miss for months.
Typical Failure Modes
Failure patterns typical of this equipment class - general BMET reference, not verified against this exact unit's own service history unless flagged. Severity is a category-level estimate.
Battery / runtime fault
HighSymptoms: Short runtime, low-battery alarm.
Root cause: Aged battery.
Connector / cable fatigue
MediumSymptoms: Intermittent signal/power.
Root cause: Repeated flexing.
Transport mount / cradle wear
LowSymptoms: Loose device, vibration damage.
Root cause: Docking latch wear.

PM Checklist
Preventive-maintenance tasks typical of this equipment class. Perform to the manufacturer's procedure and your facility's policy - this is general reference, not a schedule for this specific unit.
- ·Post-call function and battery check
- ·Mounting / securement inspection
- ·Annual full PM and vibration-tolerance check
Troubleshooting Approach
A structured starting point derived from the failure modes above. Follow the manufacturer's service documentation for the actual procedure.
Symptom: Battery / runtime fault
- Confirm the presentation - typically short runtime, low-battery alarm - and note the exact alarm or message and the conditions when it occurs.
- Check the most likely cause first: aged battery.
- Isolate the affected subsystem using the manufacturer's functional check or self-test, where one is provided.
- If the fault is confirmed and not a field adjustment, service or replace the rechargeable battery pack per the manufacturer's service documentation.
- Return the device to service only after the manufacturer's functional and applicable electrical-safety checks pass.
- Record the findings, any parts used, and the verification results in the maintenance history.
Symptom: Transport mount / cradle wear
- Confirm the presentation - typically loose device, vibration damage - and note the exact alarm or message and the conditions when it occurs.
- Check the most likely cause first: docking latch wear.
- Isolate the affected subsystem using the manufacturer's functional check or self-test, where one is provided.
- If the fault is confirmed and not a field adjustment, service or replace the docking cradle / latch per the manufacturer's service documentation.
- Return the device to service only after the manufacturer's functional and applicable electrical-safety checks pass.
- Record the findings, any parts used, and the verification results in the maintenance history.

Documents & Manuals
Safety & Recalls
Synced live from the FDA openFDA API.
- RECALL
There is a low but existing entrapment risk for a patient being treated on the Contoura 1000 and Contoura 1080 bariatric beds if they have a BMI < 40.
- RECALL
ArjoHuntleigh has received reports of unintended movement where the backrest and/or thigh sections of the bed have moved without anyone consciously pressing the control button. These incidents have occurred in High Dependency and Intensive Therapy environments where unintended movement of the patient may have serious consequences.
- RECALL
The Entroy Pool Lift boom may rapidly lower un-commanded to the bottom of its stroke, with a potential for injury to the resident or caregiver.
- RECALL
The manufacturer, BHM Medical, has received reports of structural failure of the mast during use.
- RECALL
The armrests of the lift chair may push up, allowing the patient to slip down and out of the seat. The resultant fall could result in serious or fatal patient injuries.
- RECALL
Scale could break and fall potentially causing injuries to someone who is on it. There is a potential for the mast scale load cell ssembly to fracture and allow the mast/boom to fall. Should a patient be in the lift at the time, the patient could fall and sustain injuries.
- RECALL
Repeated use of the ratchets that lock the position of the back and leg rest of the stretcher may damage the retention pin that prevents the latch from disengaging from the anchor system. This would allow the backrest to pivot freely down to the floor.
- RECALL
The hanger bar assembly may detach from the lift during use due to fatigue failure of the bolt.
- RECALL
There has been an increased number of tipping incidents and subsequent patient injuries.
- RECALL
The hanger bar may detach from the jib yoke, and the M8 bolt in the foot pedal assembly may come loose, resulting in the patient lift becoming unstable.
- RECALL
The tension pin was not installed in spreader bar pivot bolt to prevent the pivot bolt from migrating out of the spreader bar, allowing the spreader bar to detach from the lift.
