2 Safety

2.1 General warning

WARNING!
Risk of entrapment / suffocation

There’s a risk of entrapment / suffocation between
mattress support, side rail and bed end

The bed must not be used by patients under 12 years

of age, or by patients with body size equivalent to an
average 12 years old or smaller.

The bed, in combination with side rails must not

be used for persons under 45 kg or under 150 cm
height. Either for persons that are restless (spasms)
or confused, unless a professional risk assessment has
taken place and been accepted.

WARNING!
Risk due to electromagnetic interference

Electromagnetic interference between the bed and other
electrical products can occur.

To reduce or eliminate such electromagnetic

interference, increase the distance between the bed
and the products or switch them off.

This medical bed can be used together with
medical electrical equipment connected to the heart
(intracardially) or blood vessels (intravascularly) provided
that following points are respected:

The bed should be equipped with means for potential

equalization connection marked out by a symbol shown
in the back of this manual.

Medical electrical equipment should not be fixed on

the bed’s metallic accessories such as side rails, lifting
pole, drip rod, bed ends, etc.

The medical electrical equipment power supply cord

should be kept clear of the accessories or any other
moving parts of the bed.

WARNING!
Risk of patients slipping through the openings

The bed fulfils all requirements regarding maximum
distances. However, it is possible that patients with small
body dimensions slip through the openings between the
side rails or through the opening between the side rail
and the mattress support.

Pay special attention, if the bed is used for the care of

patients with small body dimensions.

CAUTION!
Risk of injury

Always lower the bed to the lowest position before

leaving the patient in the bed unattended.

Make sure that there is nothing under, over, or near

the bed that can obstruct the height adjustment, like
for example furniture, lifts or window frames.

When entering or exiting the bed, use the height

adjustment. Use the backrest as support (yellow
button on the hand control). The thigh- and leg
section must be horizontal, otherwise there is a risk of
overloading the mattress support.

There is a risk of entrapment of fingers in the bed

moving parts. Pay attention to your fingers.

IMPORTANT!

Do not roll over the mains cable. Do not bring mains

cable into moving parts.

Disconnect the plug from the mains before moving

the bed.

Make sure that no cables (mains or from other

equipment) are jammed or damaged, when the bed is
used.

Do not place the bed close to a direct heat source (fire

place, radiator etc.) and not in direct sunlight.
