Stiegelmeyer Libra - Bed Extension (Adaptable)

Instruction Manual for Libra Care Bed
Page 38
4.4.5 Bed extension (adaptable) *
The bed can be fitted with an adaptable bed extension at the foot end which extends
the mattress base by approx. 10 cm or 20 cm (if used with full-length and combined
safety sides) or by approx. 20 cm (if used with split safety sides “Vario Safe system”
(D)). The free space created is filled with an insert and a mattress piece.
Trapping hazard
Failure to take this into account may incur the risk of
entrapment of the patient, since the required
distance between the safety side and the footboard
will not be maintained in this case.
- When using split safety sides (D) (“Vario
Safe” system), only use the
20 cm bed extension (see Fig.)
