• Adjust the mattress base to its lowest position before leaving the
resident unattended. In this way, you considerably reduce the risk of
injury to the resident due to a fall when getting in or out of bed.
• Always ensure that the castor brakes are applied when the bed is
not being moved.
• When not in use, stow the handset in such a way that it cannot
inadvertently fall off (hang it up by the hook). Make sure that the
cable cannot be damaged by moving parts of the bed.
• Adjustments must only be performed by, or in the presence of, a
trained person.
• Before carrying out any adjustments, make sure that there are no
people, limbs, pets or objects in the way, in order to avoid
entrapment hazards and/or damage to property. This applies
particularly when mattress base sections are adjusted to a lower
height.
• To safeguard against unintentional motorised adjustments, lock the
relevant functions of the handset if:
- the resident is unable to operate the bed safely or to free
himself/herself from potentially dangerous situations.
- the resident could be at risk due to unintentional motorised
adjustments.
- The safety sides are raised (danger that the person's limbs could be
trapped when adjusting the backrest and thigh rest).
- children are left unsupervised in the room with the bed.
• Always ensure that the bed is in its lowest position before leaving
the resident unattended in bed. In this way you can minimise the risk
of injury should the patient fall out of bed.
• At regular intervals, carry out a visual inspection of the power
adapter and cable to check for mechanical damage (scuffing, cracks
in the housing, exposed wires, kinks, indentations etc.). Perform
such a check:
- Whenever the cable has been subjected to any mechanical load,
e.g. has been driven over by the bed itself or by an equipment
trolley.
- Whenever the cable has been bent, stretched or violently pulled,
e.g. due to the bed rolling away while it is still plugged into the
switch-mode power supply.
- Whenever the bed has been moved or relocated and before
plugging the power adapter back into the mains socket.
- Regularly, but at least once a week, by the user when the bed is
in constant use.
• Check the strain relief of the power adapter cable regularly to ensure
that it is securely fixed.
