Instruction Manual for Lenus Care Bed
Page 67
6.2 BY THE OPERATOR
The operator of this care bed is obliged according to MPBetreibV (Medical
Devices Operator Ordinance) Section 4 to conduct regular inspections after each
renewed assembly, after each maintenance and during regular operation to
ensure the safe condition of the care bed!
These inspections must be repeated within the regular maintenance activities
depending on the conditions of use according to the MPBetreibV (Medical Devices
Operator Ordinance) § 4 and the inspections prescribed by the Employers' Liability
Insurance Associations for mobile electrical equipment in commercial use according to
DGUV A3 (Testing of Mobile Electrical Equipment in Commercial Use).
Inspection interval
We recommend, as a guideline, that an annual DGUV 3 inspection be carried out by our
qualified service engineers, with verification of adherence to the 2% error rate (see also
the DGUV 3 accident prevention regulations: § 5, Table 1B).
Conduct the inspection in the following order according to DIN EN 62353 (VDE 0751):
I. Visual inspection
II. Electrical measurement
III. Functional check
Visual and functional check
- The visual inspection and function testing as well as the assessment and
documentation of the test results must be conducted exclusively by competent
persons, according to MPBetreibV Section 4 and DIN EN 62353 (VDE 0751), who
have the required qualifications and tools for proper inspections and testing.
Electrical measurement
- The electrical measurement must be carried out with suitable measuring instruments
in accordance with DIN EN 62353 with an automated measuring procedure. In this
case, this measurement may also be performed by a person trained in electrical
engineering (as defined by DGUV 3) with additional medical and device-specific
knowledge.
The test results must be evaluated and documented only by a qualified electrician
with additional medical and device-specific expertise.
- We recommend an annual visual inspection and functional check. If this test has
been passed, an electrical measurement every ten years is sufficient if the bed is
equipped with an external power adapter.
