1.1.1 Duties of Care Staff
Care staff are persons who, based on their training, experience or briefing, are qualified to
operate the care bed on their own authority or to carry out work with the care bed, or have
been instructed how to handle the care bed. Furthermore, they are able to recognise and
avoid potential hazards and assess the clinical condition of the resident.
• Ensure that the operator instructs you in the safe operation of this care bed.
• Ask a healthcare professional for advice if you are uncertain about a possible applica-
tion of safety sides or about the necessity of activating the locking functions of the elec-
trical adjustments.
• In Germany: Before using a care bed, you, as care staff, must check each time that the
care bed is fully functional and in perfect working order, and must observe the instruc-
tions in the instruction manual - particularly the safety information - during operation
and maintenance in accordance with § 2 of the Medical Devices Operator Ordinance
(MPBetreibV).
Only by doing so can operating errors be prevented and correct handling ensured in
order to prevent injuries and damage from occurring.
• In other countries the relevant national regulations concerning the duties of care staff
must be followed! Please also follow the corresponding instructions in the instruction
manual for accessories attached to the bed.
• Pay special attention here to the safe routing of all loose connector cables, tubing, etc.
Ensure that no obstacles, such as bedside cabinets, supply rails or chairs could im-
pede adjustments to the bed.
• If any additional devices (such as compressors for positioning systems) are attached,
ensure that these are securely fastened and are working properly.
• If anything is unclear, please contact the manufacturer of the device, or Burmeier.
