Medical: Instruments / Instruction manual
English term or phrase: the head actuator
Dear translators:

I have come across the following phrase-

"The head actuator MUST be reset every time the manual CPR handle is pulled."

The head actuator is part of a hospital bed.

What would be the best way to translate it?

\"the head actuator\"
actuador del respaldo


Explanation:
El actuador, o actuador lineal, es una máquina que transforma el movimiento rotatorio de un motor en lineal. Se usa, entre otras muchas cosas, en las camas articuladas.

De todas formas, yo comprobaría que la cama de tu traducción no tiene varios actuadores (otro para los pies, básicamente; tampoco sé qué es CPR), de forma que no se estén refiriendo a un "actuador principal", aunque no creo.

agree  Chema Nieto Castañón: Diría que se refiere específicamente al actuador eléctrico del respaldo, que debe ser reseteado después de activar manualmente la palanca de RCP (reanimación cardio pulmonar; CPR), en alusión a un sistema que aplana la cama en caso de emergencia.
