3. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
3.1 Environment
Your bed is intended for use in the following environments:
• A domestic area where the bed is used to alleviate or compensate for an injury,
disability or disease.
• A long term care area where medical supervision is required and monitoring is
provided if necessary (e.g. nursing homes, rehabilitation facilities, geriatric facilities
etc.).
The intended use of the bed is for sleeping / resting and it is intended to assist in
diagnosis, monitoring, prevention, treatment, alleviation of disease or compensation
for an injury or handicap, as determined by the end user and care staff.
The bed frame is intended to support a single adult. A risk assessment must always
be performed on the suitability of the patient to the bed frame and any ancillary
accessories.
The bed is typically transported to the end user environment on a distribution vehicle
and installed by community health care loan store installation staff. The bed sections
can be assembled onto transport stands, intended to maximise the manoeuvrability
of the bed during transportation whilst minimising the footprint of the bed on the
distribution vehicle. Installation staff are responsible for performing the initial set up
of the bed, including side rail assembly, handset setup, and the set up of any other
compatible accessories as specified by the professional user.
The patient is only defined as such when situated in the bed. Both the professional user
and patient are intended to operate the bed. It is the professional user’s responsibility
to determine that the patient is both mentally and physically capable of operating the
bed functions with minimal risk of personal injury.
The bed is intended to provide patients with optimum independence and freedom of
movement and carers with greatly reduced manual handling needs via the electrically
operated movable sections.
For assistance in setting up, using or maintaining your bed or to report unexpected
operation refer to the contact details found in section 2.
The bed frame is intended for an adult who is up to 191kg in weight. A lower (or upper)
age limit is not defined as it depends on the physical size of the patient in relation to
the various proportions and gaps around the bed frame. Patients must be in excess of
146cm in height ranging up to 201cm (bed extended) and have a BMI greater than 17.
