1. A patient handling device comprising:

  • a plurality of components;

    a plurality of sensors for generating sensor signals corresponding to said plurality of components;

    a user-selectable control operable to initiate monitoring of said components of said patient handling device; and

    a controller in communication with said sensors and said user-selectable control, said controller acquiring said sensor signals from said sensors in response to said user-selectable control and generating initial sensor data based on said acquired sensor signals to establish a desired state of said components, said controller periodically acquiring sensor signals from said sensors and generating current sensor data from said sensor signals based on said periodically acquired sensor signals from said sensors, and said controller comparing said current sensor data to said initial sensor data, generating a unified indication that said patient handling device is in a desired configuration when said current sensor data does not deviate from said initial sensor data, and generating another indication in response to a variation between said current sensor data and said initial sensor data.
