and model of the care bed and are based on the height
adjustment and tilting motions of the bed. The minimum
distance is 30 mm.
17. The following actions are considered to be improper use
and may be dangerous:
Unauthorised activation of the electrical functions
Use of the bed by children under 12 years old
Moving the bed by pulling the mains cable or
side rail
Simultaneous adjustment of the bed by more than
one person
Activation of the functions by occupants without
prior instruction
Pulling the mains cable to disconnect it from the
electricity supply
Moving the bed on a sloping or unsafe surface
It is important that the following safety instructions are observed
to prevent risks to occupants and carers and to avoid any dam-
age to the bed:
In accordance with standard 60601-2-52:2010,
when choosing a mattress it is important that there is
a minimum distance of 22 cm between the top of the
reclining surface and the top of the side rail in its fully
extended position. The mattress used must meet the
applicable safety standards.
Any continual liquid in the motorised area must be
avoided (e.g. incontinence)
For safety reasons, the handle on the trapeze bar
should be replaced completely every five years.
Servicing and repairs on electrical components must
only use original replacement parts from the manufac-
turer and must be carried out by specially trained staff.
The care bed is not suitable for extended operation
beyond the working cycle of two minutes. If the mains
adapter is overloaded or if it overheats, it will shut
off automatically. Further operation will then only be
possible after a cooling period of approx. 30 min-
utes. (Observe the drive manufacturer’s notes on the
rating plate.)
It is essential to avoid obstructing any part of the bed
mechanism as this can lead to damage or complete
disabling of the drive mechanism due to overheating.
The safe working load should not be exceeded.
If an immobile occupant remains in the same posi-
tion for a long period without the use of positioning
aids, this can lead to pressure sores. The manufactur-
er of the care bed is not liable for this in any way.
Electrically powered care beds are medical products
