Instruction and general notes
The different nursing bed systems from Hermann Bock GmbH meet special requirements
for use in nursing and therapy facilities as well as for care at home. At the same time,
reliable functionality and durability distinguish each individual care bed as being of partic-
ularly high quality. With proper operation and inspection, the care bed remains corre-
spondingly maintenance-free. Each Hermann Bock care bed only leaves production after
passing a quality test in the final inspection. The care beds are manufactured and tested
in accordance with the currently applicable standards for medically used care beds.
The Nursing care beds are compliant with the EN 60601-2-52 standard. The electrical com-
ponents are compliant with the EN 60601-1 safety standard for medical devices. Nursing
care beds are medical devices and are categorised as Class 1.
The standard divides Nursing care beds into five different usage environments:
1. Intensive care in a hospital, intensive-care bed
2. Acute care in a hospital or other medical facility, nursing care bed in a hospital
3. Long-term care in a medical environment, in nursing care bed
4. In-home care, solely for use as a “home-care nursing care bed”
5. Outpatient care

Intended use
The nursing care bed is suitable for patients 146 cm or greater
in height. The patient’s weight may not exceed the maximum
body mass indicated on the nameplate, and must be greater
than 40kg. The patient’s body mass index (BMI) must be 17 or
greater.
The nursing care bed may be used in nursing or retirement homes and rehabilitation fa-
cilities. Its purpose is to alleviate a patient’s disability and to make it easier for nursing
staff to provide care. In addition, the nursing care bed was designed as a convenient solu-
tion for patients requiring in-home care and for people with disabilities. The Nursing care
beds described below are thus intended for usage environments 3 to 5 above. Any other
use is incompatible with the intended use and excluded from any claims of liability.
The care bed is delivered without the Trendenburg function as standard. The Trendelen-
burg function is available as an option for application environments 3 and 5.
The Trendelenburg function may only be used by qualified medical personnel. Nursing
beds intended for application environment 4 are equipped with a manual switch that can-
not control the Trendelenburg function.
