Safety instructions
Observe the following safety instructions.
Estimate patients' clinical state and risks of using the nursing bed
(Danger of falling, trapping and suffocation)
With very restless or anxious patient, using side rails may cause
danger of trapping, falling or suffocation. Consider using alternative
protective measures.
If the patient is allowed to use the adjustment functions of the bed
without supervision, the patient’s capacity to understand the functions
must be ascertained and they must be fully instructed in the safe use of
the functions.
Only manufacturer-approved accessories intended for the bed type in
question are allowed to be used with the beds.
The rescue sheet should be attached to the bed in such a way that it
does not prevent the movements of the platform’s mechanisms. The
rescue sheet should not be attached to the bed frame or through parts
of the frame, as this may prevent the adjustment of the platform.
Only one user or patient at a time may be on the sleeping surface.
The nursing bed should always be left in its lowest position to minimise
the risk of falling or crushing and increase user safety.
Before adjusting the bed or the side rails or before preparing the bed
for transport or use, make sure that nothing or nobody is under them or
between their mechanisms (risk of crushing).
If there is a danger of the patient falling out of the bed, the side rails
must always be left in the raised position when the patient is unattended
(risk of falling).
If an operational fault is detected in the bed or any of its accessories, it
must immediately be removed from use and taken for servicing.
Portable RF communications equipment (including peripherals such as
antenna cables and external antennas) should be used no closer than
30 cm (12 inches) to any part of the Modux, including cables specified
by the manufacturer. Otherwise, degradation of the performance of this
equipment could result.
