1. A patient handling device comprising:
a frame adapted to support a mattress and a patient;
a first sensor adapted to detect a state of a first component of the patient handling device;
a second sensor adapted to detect a state of a second component of the patient handling device;
a third sensor adapted to detect a state of a third component of the patient handling device
a plurality of Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) coupled to a foot end of the frame, a first set of the LEDs adapted to emit light of a first color and a second set of the plurality of LEDs adapted to emit light of a second color different from the first color; and
a controller adapted to activate the first set of LEDs to emit light in the first color and not activate the second set of LEDs to emit light in the second color when all of the first, second, and third components are in corresponding desired states; the controller further adapted to not activate the first set of LEDs to emit light in the first color and to activate the second set of LEDs to emit light in the second color when any one or more of the first, second, or third components are in an undesired state.
