The nursing care bed is not intended for use in hospitals. If the nursing care bed is
equipped with open casters, the nursing care bed can be used to transport patients. The
nursing care bed can be moved while the patient is lying in it. To prepare for moving the
bed, lock the casters and lower the mattress support frame to the lowest horizontal posi-
tion. Release the casters and move the bed. Once transport is complete, lock the casters.
If the nursing care bed has covered casters, the nursing care bed is not designed for trans-
porting patients. In this case, the bed can only be moved within the patient’s room (in-
cluding while the patient is lying in the bed), e.g. for cleaning or to provide better access
to the patient. If the nursing care bed has fixed feet, it cannot be moved.
The nursing care bed is suitable for reuse. Please follow all guidelines in these assembly
and operating instructions for cleaning, care and disinfection of the nursing care bed prior
to reuse. Please pay particular attention to all information about inspecting the bed.
Note: The beds have no specific connectors for equipotential bonding. Electrical medical
devices with intravascular or intracardiac connections to the patient may not be used. The
operator of any medical devices is responsible for ensuring that the combination of de-
vices meets the requirements of EN 60601-1.
This manual contains safety instructions. All persons who work with the beds must be
familiar with the contents of this manual. Improper operation may result in hazards.
