4.13 Sitting down and standing up of the patients
If patients want to sit down on or stand up from the couch, it must first be brought into the basic position. There-
fore press the yellow button (13) on the hand control (see 4.3.2 Basic position).
Locking the couch by activating the corresponding brake system.
When the patient sits down or stands up, all castors of the couch must be braked (see 4.12 Braking).
Risk of falling or accident due to insufficiently braked couch.
If the couch is not being moved, the castors must be locked at all times, as the couch may be
used by patients as a support when sitting down or standing up. Rolling the unbraked couch away
can lead to serious falls. After activating the central locking or the 4 single braked castors, check
whether the couch is actually fixed, i.e. the castors are sufficiently braked.
The couch may be in an unbraked position before each new use and must therefore be checked
immediately for properly locked castors.
Adjust the footrest as required or desired - this may depend on the size of the patient. Either by
pressing the button (11) on the hand control (see 4.3 Hand control) or by pushing in manually (see
4.10 Footrest).
Fold the armrest all the way up if patients want to sit down or stand up sideways (see 44.9 Arm-
rests).
Provide support as needed.
Risk of falling or accident due to moving arm supports.
When patients get in or out from the front, they must not lean on the arm supports as they may
suddenly swing sideways.

4.14 Patient transportation
When transporting patients, proceed in principle in the same way as when moving the unoccupied couch (see
4.11 Driving). In addition, the following requirements must be observed.
The castors are essentially used only to move the couch when it is unoccupied.
The couch can be used for patient transportation within buildings under certain conditions.
The patient may only be transported in a seated position.
The forearms of the patient lie in normal position on the arm supports.
The patient's feet are on the footrest.
Retract the footrest as fully as possible or adjust as required or desired - this may depend on the
size of the patient. Either by pressing the button (11) on the hand control (see 4.3 Hand control) or
by pushing in manually (see 4.10 Footrest).
When driving on slopes or inclines, e.g. ramps, a second user must additionally secure the couch at
the front due to its weight and for the safety of the patient.
