Caution: Electric drive
Hermann Bock calls the electrically operated nursing and therapy beds health care beds,
because through their multiple functions, they allow the person in need of care to sup-
port the healing process mentally and physically and relieve pain at the same time. Elec-
trically operated beds that are medical products need special care in regards to constant
safety checks. This includes safety-conscious handling of the bed, daily inspection of
electrical equipment and proper maintenance and cleaning.
To prevent damages to the cables, wiring should be conducted outside of the area in
which damages could be caused. Furthermore, avoid touching the sharp parts. To pre-
vent injury through an electric shock, avoid the possibilities of too high contact voltages.
These circumstances may especially be the case if the power cable is damaged, if inad-
missible and excessive leakage currents exist or if liquid was spilled in the motor hous-
ing, e.g. during improper cleaning. This damage can cause malfunction of the control,
which could result in unwanted movements of single bed elements, posing a risk of inju-
ry for the operator and the person in need of care.
