•
Ensure the support surface is used with a compatible side rail
and bed frame combination – Incorrect combinations can lead to
entrapment and/or falls hazards.
•
Ensure the support surface is of the correct type for the patient –
Incorrect specification could lead to an injury.
•
The mains plug is the disconnect device for the means of isolating
the control unit from the mains supply, the plug must be accessible
at all times.
•
Ensure the mains cable is plugged into an appropriate power source
at all times.
•
To avoid the risk of electric shock, this equipment must only be
connected to a supply mains with a protective earth.
•
Ensure the mains cable is not in tension, paying particular attention
to when the bed travels up/down.
•
Precautions are to be taken when routing the mains cable around
the bed to ensure that it does not become squeezed, trapped or
damaged by the bedframe or other ancillary equipment - Risk of
electrocution.
•
Any electrical cable that is part of the system or associated
ancillary equipment that is found to be damaged must be replaced
immediately - Damaged electrical cables can create a risk of
electrocution and/or fire.
•
A CE marked extension cable must only be used when it is not
possible to reach a wall socket with the equipment mains cable –
Contact Drive DeVilbiss Healthcare Ltd. for detail in regards to safe
use of extension cables.
•
If an extension cable is used never overload it by plugging in
appliances that together will exceed the maximum current rating
stated for the extension cable – Risk of fire.
•
Block adaptors are not to be used.
•
Ensure multiple socket outlets are not positioned under the bed
frame - Liquids that leak onto such a socket could pose an electrical/
fire risk.
•
Consideration is to be taken in the positioning of the mains cable
and air hose to minimise the risk of accidental strangulation resulting
from patient, baby or child entanglement.
•
Keep away from sources of heat and naked flames (e.g. cigarettes,
fireplaces, electric fires, fan heaters, electric blankets etc.) – Close
proximity could damage the electrical system and/or cover, bedding
could catch fire etc.
•
Do not place any objects or items, such as blankets, on or over the
control unit - Risk of fire.
