1.2 Intended use and use environment
Lojer Modux nursing beds are designed to be used in institutions, care homes,
and in home care for patients with a minimum age of 12 years, a minimum
height of 146 cm, a minimum weight of 40 kg, and a minimum body mass
index (BMI) of 17 (in accordance with standard EN 60601-2-52: 2010, use
environment categories 3 and 4). The bed is intended as a patient’s sleeping
and care platform for the duration of illness, treatment or observation or to
compensate for physical disabilities.
Intended environments of use are, for example:
 nursing home, retirement home or similar care facility
 rehabilitation or geriatric facilities
 home care for private individuals, care provided in a domestic area
Body mass index (BMI) is calculated as follows: 𝐵𝑀𝐼 =
patient
′
s weight (kg)

s height (m)

For example:

= 16,89 → 𝐵𝑀𝐼 𝑁𝑂𝑇 𝑂𝐾!

If patient height, weight or BMI is below given figures risk of
entrapment between siderail and/or bed structures increases.
With patients' taller than 185 cm and/or psychically restless or
confused, risk of falling, trapping and suffocation increases.
Lying on the bed may cause pressure ulcers. If necessary, use
counteractive procedures to prevent pressure ulcers.
When the nursing bed is used for home care, the user must ensure its
safe use and assess the patient’s condition and the possible need for
additional safety equipment.
It is forbidden to transfer or carry patients in the MODUX nursing bed.
