1 Introduction and general instructions
The various bed systems from Hermann Bock meet special requirements for the use in
care and treatment facilities as well as for home care. Reliable functionality and a long
product life make each bed particularly valuable. Our beds need little maintenance with
proper operation and care. Each bed from Hermann Bock must pass quality testing in a
final inspection before it is shipped anywhere. The beds are manufactured according to
the current standards for medically used beds and tested accordingly.
Our beds comply with Standard EN 60601-2-52:2010. The electrical building components
comply with safety standard EN 60601-1:2006 for medical devices.
These standards divide the beds in five different areas of use:
1. Intensive care in a hospital; intensive care bed
2. Short-term care in a hospital or other medical facility; patient bed in the hospital
3. Long-term care in medical environment; stationary nursing bed
4. Home-care bed, pure home care bed
5. Ambulant/ residential care
1.1 Intended use
The health care bed is suitable for persons in need of care who are at least 146 cm tall.
The person's weight must not exceed 185 kg and must be over 40 kg. The body mass
index (BMI) must be greater than or equal to 17. The health care bed may be used in
homes for the elderly or nursing homes and rehabilitation facilities. It is used to alleviate
a disability and/or to facilitate the lives of people who are in need of care or to make the
work of their caregivers easier. Accordingly, the health care beds are designed to be
used for the application areas 3 to 5. Any other use is considered improper and is ex-
cluded from a possible liability claim.
The Trendelenburg function may be used exclusively under supervision of medical pro-
fessionals. The health care bed is not suitable for use in hospitals. It is suitable to
transport patients. The health care bed is mobile with the patient resting in it. To pre-
pare the transport: lock the castors and drive the lying surface in the safety position.
(The clearance between the bottom of the lying surface to the floor is 18 cm). Unlock the
castors and move the bed. After the transport, lock the castors.
Attention: The beds come with no special connection options for a potential equalisa-
tion. Electrical medical devices connected to the patient´s intravascular or intracardiac
system must not be used. The operator of the medical products ensures that the combi-
nation of the equipment meets the requirements of EN 60601-1:2006.
