CAUTION
CAUTION
Risk of injury
Failure to heed this warning may result in physical injury if thicker special mattresses, such
as anti-decubitus mattresses, are used (for prevention or therapy). In this case an effective
safety side height of at least 22 cm above the non-occupied mattress must still be guaran-
teed.
If this height (22 cm) is not provided, the operator is responsible for taking any additional
measures, or other measures he considers suitable, based on his own risk assessment in
view of the clinical condition of the patient, and in view of the characteristics of the special
mattress, such as additional safety systems for the patient, regular and more frequent moni-
toring of the patient or internal procedures for users.
The patient’s risk of falling can be reduced:
⁃
the smaller and more settled the patient is,
⁃
the softer the mattress is (the patient sinks deeper into the mattress).
Risk of crushing
Failure to heed this warning may result in physical injuries!
⁃
Lock the operating functions on the handset for the patient if the safety sides are raised
and:
⁃
The patient is unable to operate the bed safely,
⁃
The patient is unable to free himself or herself from potentially dangerous situations,
⁃
The patient is exposed to an increased risk of entrapment during backrest and thigh rest
adjustments when the safety sides are raised,
Otherwise there is a danger of the patient's limbs being crushed or trapped between the
safety sides if the patient inadvertently activates the LCD handset. The effectiveness of
the safety sides can also be reduced if any mattress base sections are raised to a high
level.
