Risk of injury
Failure to heed this warning may result in physical injury to the resident due to entrapment
or crushing of limbs.
•
Owing to the smaller limbs of residents with a body height/weight that is less than this,
there is an increased risk of entrapment between the open spaces of the safety sides
when safety side systems are used.
The bed is delivered unassembled and mounted on a storage aid. It can also be transported
easily within blocks of flats. It comprises two chassis (a head and footboard); a mattress
base frame divided in the centre; four safety side bars and a lifting pole with a grab handle.
The bed stands on four steerable castors which are all fitted with a locking brake.
The mattress base frame is divided into four sections with a backrest, a fixed middle section,
a thigh rest and a lower leg rest. The backrest and thigh rest can all be adjusted with the aid
of electric motors. The mattress base height can be adjusted horizontally to a high position or
to a reverse-Trendelenburg position. All adjustments are activated with a handset.
The bed has click-in safety side bars on both sides of the bed that are raised to present a
barrier, or lowered, if they are not required. Safety sides protect the resident from accidental-
ly falling out of bed. The click-in safety side excels through its easy installation and user-
friendly operation. It is available in a wood or metal design depending on the characteristics
of the bed.
The bed’s electrical adjustment system is first-error-secure, flame-resistant (V0) and consists
of:
•
An "external" switch mode power supply.
