6.2 RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE OPERATOR
The operator of this care bed is obliged according to MPBetreibV (Medical
Devices Operator Ordinance) Section 4 to conduct regular inspections after
each renewed assembly, after each maintenance and during regular operation
to ensure the safe condition of the care bed!
These inspections must be repeated within the regular maintenance activities
depending on the conditions of use according to the MPBetreibV (Medical Devices
Operator Ordinance) § 4 and the inspections prescribed by the Employers' Liability
Insurance Associations for mobile electrical equipment in commercial use according
to DGUV A3 (Testing of Mobile Electrical Equipment in Commercial Use). All
servicing and maintenance measures must be carried out when the bed is
unoccupied.
Inspection interval
We recommend, as a guideline, that an annual DGUV 3 inspection be carried out by
our qualified service engineers, with verification of adherence to the 2% error rate
(see also the DGUV 3 accident prevention regulations: § 5, Table 1B).
Conduct the inspection in the following order according to DIN EN 62353 (VDE
0751):
I. Visual inspection
II. Electrical measurement
III. Functional check
Visual and functional check
- The visual inspection and function testing as well as the assessment and
documentation of the test results must be conducted exclusively by competent
persons, according to MPBetreibV Section 4 and DIN EN 62353 (VDE 0751), who
have the required qualifications and tools for proper inspections and testing.
Electrical measurement
- The electrical measurement must be carried out with suitable measuring
instruments in accordance with DIN EN 62353 with an automated measuring
procedure. In this case, this measurement may also be performed by a person
trained in electrical engineering (as defined by DGUV 3) with additional medical
and device-specific knowledge.
- The test results must be evaluated and documented only by a qualified electrician
with additional medical and device-specific expertise.
