These recommendations apply particularly:
- if the person in need of care cannot operate the hand control safely due to cer-
tain disabilities;
- if the person in need of care or the caregivers could be at risk due to those acci-
dental adjustments;
- if the side rails are in a raised position and there could be danger of trapping
and crushing;
- if children are unsupervised in the room with the bed.
Always make sure that the hand control (when not in use) is securely hooked in the
support hook at the bed and cannot drop.
As a general rule, the bed should be operated by instructed nursing staff/caregivers,
relatives or in attendance of instructed persons.
When adjusting the lying surface, it is particularly important to ensure that no limbs are
placed in the side rails of the adjustment range. If the side rails are adjusted, pay atten-
tion to the correct lying position of the person in need of care.
Prior to making any electrical adjustment, it should, as a general rule, be made sure that
no limbs are positioned in the adjustment range between the chassis and the head or
foot part, especially that there are no persons/animals in the area between the floor and
the raised lying surface. Danger of being crushed is particularly high in these areas.
The permitted person’s weight depends on the total weight of the equipment that has
been mounted to the bed (mattresses and other electronic medical devices). For safe
capacity, please refer to the type plate on the lying surface frame of the bed.
