7.3 Safety information for electric hospital beds
•
Observe the special safety information on transporting the bed and on moving and immo-
bilising the bed; see Safety information on moving, braking and immobilising the
bed » 66.
•
Before using the bed on parquet flooring, check whether the castors will leave stains on
the parquet varnish. The manufacturer accepts no liability for such wear. Use on tiles, car-
pet, laminate or linoleum floors is completely safe.
•
A properly installed and earthed mains socket must be available close to the bed, at the
head end.
•
Place the bed in a position where it is easy to unplug the mains cable from the socket.
•
The mains voltage from the socket must be the same as the rating shown on the type
plate on the bed.
•
If other equipment (e.g. compressors for positioning systems, etc.) is attached, ensure
that all items of equipment are securely fixed and function properly. Pay particular atten-
tion here to the safe routing of all loose connector cables, tubing, etc.
•
If you have any queries or concerns, consult the manufacturer of the equipment or Stie-
gelmeyer.
•
When the bed is connected to the mains electricity supply, it must always be connected
to the hospital’s potential equalisation system when intravascular and intracardiac ap-
plications are involved.
•
When this bed is connected to the mains electricity supply, it must only be used in med-
ical rooms which meet the electrical requirements of the standard VDE 0100 Part 710.
•
Position the bed so as to allow easy access to the mains plug at all times so that the
bed can be disconnected from the mains, if necessary.
•
This hospital bed must not be used in explosive environments caused, for example, by
cleaning agents or anaesthetics.
•
This hospital bed must not be used in combination with high frequency surgical equip-
ment.
•
For use in other countries outside Germany or the EU, please note any special national
requirements that may differ.
