21. Patient Weight Limits
The trolley is designed to accommodate a maximum patient weight of 250kg, and a safe
working load of 300kg (SWL). Patients should mount the trolley at the centre of the
patient platform and their weight kept as evenly distributed as possible whilst on the
trolley.
Note that all the removable head sections are designed to take a maximum weight of
25kg, and the removable leg section is designed to take a maximum weight of 50kg.
The safe working load (SWL) is the sum of the maximum patient weight, the
weight of any accessories attached to the trolley and the weight of the items
on or attached to those accessories.
WARNING: Exceeding any of the maximum specified weight limits could
result in failure of the trolley and injury to the patient and staff.
22. K8 Pressure Care Mattress
The mattress is fixed to the patient platform with touch fastener; this enables the
mattress to be removed from the trolley for cleaning and replacement.
When fitting a new mattress to the trolley the touch fastener on the patient
platform must also be replaced.
The mattress parts should be visually inspected for damage on a daily basis.
If the outer mattress fabric is torn, then fluids may penetrate and the
mattress should be replaced. Do not attempt to repair tears or splits with
self-adhesive tapes.
WARNING: Incompatible mattresses can create hazards; only replace the
mattress with a new mattress supplied by Anetic Aid, or your authorised
dealer, to ensure compatibility in accordance with BS EN 60601-2-52:2010.
CAUTION: Ensure that the mattress is correctly orientated on the patient
platform with the touch fastener of the mattress aligning with the touch
fastener on the patient platform.
CAUTION: Ensure that the mattress is centrally positioned across the width
of the patient platform otherwise it may prevent the side rail from locking
when raised.
