This user manual contains safety instructions. All persons working with the beds must
be acquainted with the contents of these instructions. Improper operation can result
in personal injuries.
1.2 Definition of person groups
Operator
Operators (e.g. medical supply stores, specialist dealers, facilities and cost units) include
all physical or juridical persons, who use the beds or have the beds used for medical
purposes. The briefing on the use of the product shall generally be conducted by the
operator.
User
Users are persons whose training, experience or briefing on the product allows them to
operate the health care bed or carry out works on it. The user is able to recognize possi-
ble hazards and/or to avoid them and to assess the health condition of the patient.
Patient/resident
Persons in need of care as well as disabled and fragile people who are lying in the health
care bed.
Qualified personnel
Employees of the operator are referred to as qualified personnel. They are entitled to
deliver the health care bed, assemble, dismantle and transport it on the basis of their
training or instructions. Besides knowing how to operate, mount and demount the
health care bed, these persons must be instructed according to the guidelines concern-
ing the cleaning and disinfection of the health care bed.
1.3 Safety instructions
The intended use/operation of all moving parts is as important for the safety of the per-
son in need of care as well as for the relatives and the caregivers/nursing staff to avoid
potentially dangerous situations. This requires the correct installation and operation of
the bed. The individual physique of the person in need of care as well as type and the
extent of their disability must be taken into account by all means when operating the
bed.
Avoid dangers, accidental motor adjustments and incorrect operation by using the disa-
bling function. When the operator, e.g. the nursing staff/caregivers or the care providing
relative leaves the room, the entire operating functions of the bed should be disabled.
This is achieved by operating the key of the hand control. First, lower the lying surface to
the safety position and activate the lock function with a twist of the key (located in the
keylock on the backside). Remove the key and check the function of the hand control for
safety reasons. Make sure that it is indeed locked.
