Function Lock - Locking Box
Adjustment functions in electric beds can be locked using a separate locking box. The locking box
is integrated in the linen holder at the foot end.
x The user can lock the handset for the patient on the locking box.
x The user must check to ensure that the handset is locked/enabled by pressing the correspond-
ing handset buttons:
After re-locking or re-enabling.
After putting the bed into service or taking the bed out of service.
After machine washing or disinfection has taken place.
Only users are authorised to lock adjustment functions! Qualified medical staff must decide which
functions, if any, should be locked.
If the clinical condition of the patient is so critical that adjustments using the handset might be
dangerous for him/her, the user must immediately lock the respective functions.
A sticker on the linen holder draws attention to the fact that:
Risk of Injury
Locking adjustment functions is necessary in the following situations in particular:
If the patient is not able to operate the bed safely.
If the patient is not able to extricate himself from dangerous situations.
If there is an increased risk of entrapment for the patient when adjusting the backrest and
thigh rest if the safety sides are raised.
Accessories or other devices are attached that could restrict the adjustment range of the
bed, and put the patient at risk or cause damage to equipment.
Children are left unattended in a room with the bed.
¾ Otherwise there is a danger of limbs being crushed if the patient inadvertently activates
the handset.
In these cases, adjustments must only be performed by a person trained by the operator, or in the
presence of a trained person!
