Caution! Ensure that the head / foot boards are
locked before you start operating the bed.
Caution! Secure the patient before removing the
head / foot boards.
Caution! When inserting the head / foot boards,
take care to ensure no parts of the body or other
objects are located in the hazard area.
Potential equalisation
The IMPULSE KL hospital bed with undercarriage Editions
300 / 400 / XL is equipped with a standard protective conductor.
This conductor serves to equalise the potential between the bed
and devices to which the patient is connected, in order to protect
the patient from electrostatic shock.
If the patient is connected to an
intravascular or intracardial de-
vice, the potential equalisation
must be used.
First, connect the ground wire of
the device to which the patient will be connected to the potential
equalisation. Be sure to use the standard connection for hospitals
and check that the connectors are compatible.
Caution! Be sure that the potential equalisation
is disconnected from the bed before the bed is
moved.
Caution! Make sure that the two connectors are
compatible and that they cannot be inadvertently
disconnected.
