Safe Use Guidelines 

The bed is fitted with a locking handset; which is achieved via a locking fob; individual functions may 

be locked out.  

Caution: When using any equipment that extends under the bed ensure there is no 
risk of entrapment, pinching of cables or risk of damage to motors or actuators 
when the bed is moved to its lowest settings.  

Caution: Although this bed has been designed to be used with the common types 
of portable hoists care should be exercised when using this bed with all portable 
hoists. The user must ensure that sufficient clearance is afforded to all hoist legs, 
masts and booms and that cables of the bed and hoist are not trapped, snagged, 
kinked or pinched when operating the bed or the hoist. 

5.1 Safety information 

– nursing personnel, care givers and users 

Caution:

Risk of Accidents! 



Do not use electrical medical appliances on patients in these beds involving 

intravascular or intra-cardiac connection.  



Do not use the bed in the vicinity of strong electromagnetic fields.  



Always plug the bed mains plug into a separate wall socket. Do not use a multi-plug adaptor.  



Route the mains cable to the wall socket in such a way that there is no mechanical 

tension, and the mains cable cannot be pinched, kinked or run over.  



When routing cables from other equipment within the bed, precautions should be 

taken to avoid squeezing those parts of the bed. 



Please observe the respective equipment operating and assembly instructions with 

regard to any additional safety risks that may arise when using the bed in conjunction 

with other equipment. If you have any questions, please contact Ultimate Healthcare 

(see details on the back cover).  

Warning:

Danger to life and risk of injury due to trapping/pinching!



When carrying out adjustments, watch the occupant in the bed and the bed’s 
surroundings.  



Ensure that underweight/very thin patients cannot slip down between the mattress 
and side rails.  



Ensure that the side rails are properly locked in place.  



When lowering the bed, make sure that there are no obstructions under the bed; pay 
particular attention to the feet of the person operating the bed and those of any other 
person in attendance.
