including service
The safety standards of an electrically operated nursing bed are
subject to the compliance with the specified European stan-
dards.
This includes the manufacturer´s strict adherence to the specifi-
cations as well as official standards defined by the government
which are in accordance with the safety recommendations of the
BfArM (Federal institution for drugs and medical devices) for the
enforcement of the Medical Products Act. Regularly conducted
inspections ensure the maintenance of high safety standards
and in order to avoid hazards from occurring, the continuous and
strict adherence to the regular inspection of the proper functio-
nality is mandatory. The manufacturer may have no influence on
the operator´s adherence with respect to the observance of the-
se instructions concerning the beds. However, Bock facilitates
the observance of the necessary precautionary measures to be
taken by means of their time-saving services.
