1. A patient support apparatus comprising:
- a frame having a first portion and a second portion, the first portion being pivotally movable to raise and lower relative to the second portion;
a drainage bag support coupled to the first portion of the frame to move therewith, the drainage bag support having a first rung that is substantially horizontal to a floor when the first portion is raised and a second rung that is angled with respect to the first rung and is substantially horizontal to the floor when the first portion is lowered;
control circuitry to control movement of the first portion of the frame, wherein the control circuitry has a lockout mode to prevent movement of the first portion of the frame relative to the second portion of the frame, andan indicia positioned adjacent the drainage bag support notifying a caregiver to activate the lockout mode in response to a drainage bag being coupled to the first rung of the drainage bag support so that the first portion is unable to be moved to place the drainage bag in an unwanted position.

Abstract
A patient support apparatus includes an upper frame that is movable to raise and lower relative to a base frame frame. A mattress support deck is coupled to the upper frame and includes a foot deck section. The foot deck section is movable with respect to the rest of the mattress support deck to raise and lower. A drainage bag support is coupled to the foot deck section and is configured to support a drainage bag. Control circuitry controls movement of the upper frame and the foot deck section. The control circuitry has a lockout mode to limit the movement of the upper frame and foot deck section to prevent the drainage bag from touching a floor.

15. A patient support apparatus comprising:
-
a frame including a base frame and an upper frame supported above the base frame, the upper frame being pivotally movable to raise and lower relative to the base frame; a mattress support deck coupled to the upper frame, the mattress support deck having a foot deck section that is movable to raise and lower relative to the upper frame; a drainage bag support coupled to the foot deck section and configured to support a drainage bag, the drainage bag support having a first rung that is substantially horizontal to a floor when the first portion is raised and a second rung that is angled with respect to the first rung and is substantially horizontal to the floor when the first portion is lowered; a control circuitry to control movement of the upper frame and the foot deck section, wherein the control circuitry has a lockout mode to limit movement of the upper frame relative to the base frame and to limit movement of the foot deck section, and an indicia positioned adjacent the drainage bag support notifying a caregiver to activate the lockout mode in response to a drainage bag being coupled to the first rung of the drainage bag support so that the upper frame and foot deck section are unable to be moved to place the drainage bag in an unwanted position. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
