Operating instructions ekamove Rev 3 Date: June 2017 16

In the head-up position it is essential to make sure that the patient
is prevented from falling forwards! In other words, depending on
body shape, a head support should only be used appropriately.

If you have purchased a system with sensors, the system can emit
an error code if the head-up position is too steep. This function can
be activated if desired. To do this, consult your service partner or
ekamed GmbH&Co.KG.

Note!!

This  option  is  only  offered  as  a  support;  the  maximum
possible level  of the head-up position  must be checked
and if necessary limited by the care personnel.
