x This bed may not be used in combination with high frequency surgical equipment.
x Take suitable measures to prevent pressure sores in long-stay patients.
x This bed is manufactured in three different mattress base sizes and accordingly adapted safety
sides (accessory):
x Before using the safety sides, assess and take into consideration the clinical condition and par-
ticular physical build of the patient:
For example, if the patient is extremely confused or very restless, avoid using safety sides
as far as possible and make use of alternative safety measures such as posey belts, re-
straint sheets, etc.
In the case of particularly small, slightly built patients it may be necessary to use an addi-
tional form of protection to reduce the size of the gaps between the safety sides. In these
cases, use protective covers (accessory), posey belts, etc.
6.3 Contraindications
This bed, with mattress base dimensions of 90 x 200 and 80 x 200 cm, if used with safety sides
(optional), is only suitable for residents and patients who do not fall below the following minimum
body size/weight:
x Height: 146 cm,
x weight: 40 kg
x Body Mass Index
‘BMI’: 17
Owing to the smaller limbs of patients with lower body measurements/weight, there is an in-
creased risk of entrapment between the open spaces of the safety sides when these safety sides
are used. In this case, use the Deka junior version with the special safety sides available for this
model with smaller bar spacing (Option) » 105.
