2.1 DEFINITION OF THE GROUPS OF PERSONS INVOLVED
In this instruction manual, the following groups of persons are defined as:
Operator
The operator (e.g. nursing home operators) are all natural and legal persons with
property rights to the Lenus care bed. The operator is responsible for the safe operation
of this medical device.
The operator can also pass on this responsibility to service providers who work on his
behalf (in Germany, it could be that the health insurance operator passes responsibility
to the medical supply store, for example).
Care staff/Users
Care staff/users are skilled persons who, based on their training, experience or briefing,
are qualified to operate the care bed on their own authority or to carry out work with the
care bed, or have been instructed how to handle the care bed. Furthermore, they are
able to recognise and avoid potential hazards and assess the clinical condition of the
resident.
Residents
In this instruction manual, the term resident is defined as a person who is infirm or in
need of care and occupies this care bed.
When the bed is used in a private, domestic setting, it is strongly recommended that the
operator or his representative instruct each resident on how to use the bed functions
that are important for him/her.
