Introduction,
specifications
Use of this equipment adjacent to or stacked with other equipment should be
avoided because it could result in improper operation. If such use is necessary, this
equipment and the other equipment should be observed to verify that they are
operating normally.
Ensure that the power cord is unplugged and hooked to the bed before moving the bed
(see “Securing the power cable” page 84).
Only duly qualified and authorized staff should carry out electrical maintenance.
Never clean or service the bed without unplugging it from the mains power supply and
di
sconnecting the battery.
The battery backup must never be left in direc
t contact with fire, placed in liquid, or
discarded in a refuse bin. In the event of the battery being damaged, see “End-of-life
equipment” page 90.
This label indicates that
the bed must never be used with an oxygen
tent or in explosive atmospheres
(presence of inflammable gases or
vapors).
Use only nasal tubes and oxygen masks. For reasons of safety,
masks and tubes should always be kept at a higher level than the
mattress support platform.
Always lock out the HiLow function before any cleaning or maintenance
op
erations.
If the bed is equipped with a battery, and the bed is stored for long periods of time,
the battery must be charged every 3 months. Failure to do so could result in
damage to the battery.
