2.2.3 Safety information for users and residents
• Ensure that the operator/your medical supply store instructs you in the safe
operation of this bed.
• Ask a healthcare professional for advice if you are uncertain about a possible
application of safety sides or about the necessity of activating the locking functions
of the electrical adjustments.
• Check each time before using the bed to ensure that it is in perfect working order
(see also chapter 3.10.1). Ensure that no obstacles, such as bedside cabinets,
supply rails or chairs could impede adjustments to the bed.
• If any additional devices (such as compressors for positioning systems) are
attached, ensure that these are securely fastened and are working properly. Pay
particular attention to:
- Safe routing of all loose connector cables, tubing etc.
- Do not use multiple socket outlets placed loosely on the floor. These could
cause electrical hazards due to damaged mains cables or the ingress of liquids.
If anything is unclear, please contact the manufacturer of the device.
• If any damage or malfunction is suspected, take the bed out of service:
- Unplug the power adapter from the mains socket immediately.
- Indicate clearly that the bed is “OUT OF ORDER”.
- Report this immediately to the operator responsible/your responsible medical
supply store (see the address on the back cover of this manual).
• Route the cable of the power adapter, and also all other cables, in
such a way that they cannot be pulled, driven over or damaged by
moving parts when the bed is operated.
• Never leave unsupervised toddlers or babies alone with the bed!
o There is a strangulation hazard due to the possibility of
entanglement in exposed connecting cables (such as the
power cable and handset cable).
o There is a risk of suffocation from swallowing small parts
which may have become detached from the bed.
• Lock the electrical adjustment functions of the bed if their
unsupervised use could put staff or other persons at risk.
• The power adapter cable is fitted with a mains cable holder.
- Before moving the bed, always make sure that you have
unplugged the power adapter from the mains socket. Hang it
on the bars of the safety side with the mains cable holder to
ensure the power adapter will not fall off and the cable does not
trail on the floor.
• Do not place multiple socket outlets under the bed. This could cause
electrical hazards due to damaged mains cables or the ingress of
fluids.
