Warning
• Ensure the mains cable is plugged into an appropriate power
source at all times.
• Ensure the electrical cables are not in tension, paying particular
attention to the mains cable when the bed / backrest travel up /
down.
• Ensure that all cables and the handset are clear of all moving parts
to prevent damage to the electrical components.
• Inappropriate handling / positioning of the mains cable could cause
kinking or shearing of the cable which may lead to exposed live
wires - risk of electrocution.
• Sidhil recommend the bed is left in its lowest position when the
patient is unattended in order to reduce the risk of injury due to a fall.
• Before operating the bed ensure the patient is positioned
appropriately ensuring all limbs are clear of moving parts to reduce
the risk of patient injury.
• The mains plug is the disconnect device for the means of isolating the
bed from the mains supply, the plug must be accessible at all times.
• Precautions are to be taken when routing cables from external
equipment around the bed to ensure that they do not become
crushed, trapped or damaged - Damaged cables could pose a risk of
electrocution / fire.
• A CE marked extension cable must only be used when it is not
possible to reach a wall socket with the equipment mains cable
– Contact Sidhil Ltd. or the equipment provider for information
regarding the safe use of extension cables.
• If an extension cable is used never overload it by plugging in
appliances that together will exceed the maximum current rating
stated for the extension cable – Risk of fire.
• ‘Block’ adaptors should not be used.
• Ensure multiple socket outlets are not positioned under the bed
frame - Liquids that leak onto such a socket could pose an electrical
/ fire risk.
• Any electrical component that is part of the bed frame or associated
ancillary equipment that is found to be damaged must be removed
from service immediately and replaced - Damaged electrical
components could pose a risk of electrocution / fire.
• Consideration is to be taken in the positioning of the bed cables
and handset cable to minimise the risk of accidental strangulation
resulting from entanglement of the bed occupant or any other
person.
