that every user and resident is instructed in the safe operation of the bed before
using it for the first time.

improperly used. This applies in particular to the use of electrical drives and safety
sides.
• Please observe your obligations in accordance with the Medical Devices Operator
Ordinance (Medizinprodukte-Betreiberverordnung: MPBetreibV), to ensure that
this medical product is always operated safely and with no risk of danger to
residents, users or third parties.
• If the bed is in long-term use, test the functions and check for any visible damage
(see chapter 6.2) after a reasonable period of time (recommendation: once a
year).
• Only persons who have been properly instructed in its use must be allowed to
operate this bed.
• Make sure that substitute staff are also sufficiently well instructed in the safe
operation of this bed.
• If any additional devices (such as compressors for positioning systems) are
attached, ensure that these are securely fastened and are working properly. Pay
particular attention to:
o Safe routing of all loose connector cables, tubing etc.
o Ensuring that no multiple socket outlets are located under the bed (fire hazard
due to ingressing liquids).

Please note: The headboards, footboards and side-panels of the Libra
bed can be supplied in the upholstered version according to customer
specifications. If the resident is especially sensitive and tends to allergic
reactions, it is not possible, however, to completely exclude such
allergic reactions in the case of extended intensive skin contact with
upholstered parts. In these rare cases, please do not use the
upholstered parts.
