21. Storage -----------------------------------------
For problem-free storage we recommend:
1. Disconnect the bed from the electrical
supply.
2. Secure the power cable to the bed to
prevent any damage to the cable while
moving.
3. Remove the accessories.
4. Wrap the bed and accessories or cover
them so that the coating and plastic parts
are not damaged.
5. Bed should be stored in a temperature
between -10°C and +50°C.
6. Bed should be stored in a relative
humidity (non-condensing) between 20%
and 80%.
22. Daily Inspection -----------------------------
Daily visual inspection is strongly
recommended and may be carried out by
caregiver, user or other person.
The following checks must be carried out:
1. Does the bed operate as per its intended
purpose without unexpected noise or
motion?
2. Are there any signs of abuse or excessive
wear?
3. Are all fixtures and fittings tight and
secure?
4. Does the bed frame appear stable and
secure?
5. Are all accessories fitted in line with the
accessory manufacturer or accessory
supplier’s instructions?
6. Are all the castor brakes in the locked
position?
7. Are all electrical cables (including
accessories, e.g. mattress air pump)
secured and routed to prevent damage?
8. Does the handset lock function work
correctly? (See Section 10)
9. Does the bed stop at the safety stop
position? (See Section 10)
10. Is the area around, above and below bed
clear of possible obstruction?
11. Is there any risk of entrapment or patient
injury?
12. Are any electrical cables pinched,
crushed or damaged in any way?
If any damage, performance issue or cause
for concern is noted during this inspection
the bed should be disconnected from the
power supply immediately, withdrawn from
service and appropriate steps should be
taken.
