ENERAL SAFETY
▪
When the bed is operated, make sure that objects such as a bedside table or other
furniture are not an obstacle.
▪
Before exploiting the bed, make sure that the patient has been positioned
correctly.
▪
When the patient is left unattended, make sure that the bed is set at the minimum
height.
▪
Keep distance of min 15 cm from the walls.
▪
Make sure all cables are not under excessive tension.
▪
If the bed is being used in conjunction with a hoist ensure the under bed
clearances are checked before lowering the bed to minimum height - risk of
frames clashing.
▪
Make sure that every used mattress is the right size and has been filled correctly.
Placing the limbs or other objects between the moving parts of bed
may cause damage or accident.
Only medical mattresses are allowed. Using other types of
mattresses may cause damage to the bed.
8.3. P
REPARING FOR START
Prior to using the bed for the first time:
▪
Ensure the bed and all accessories are at room temperature.
▪
Ensure the bed has been cleaned and disinfected (see section 11).
▪
Ensure the mains cable is plugged appropriately.
▪
After plugging the bed into the mains supply it was not attempted to operate at
least 10 seconds, to allow the control system to initialise itself.
▪
Ensure the brakes on the castors have been applied:

Note : Before locking the wheels, make sure that they are parallel to the
length of the bed and inwards – they cannot pose a tripping risk.

Note : All four wheels should be locked to eliminate the accidental
movement of the bed.
▪
Ensure the bed is level, placed horizontally, on the flat surface so all the castors
touch the ground.
▪
Ensure the handset’s functions are locked/unlocked (depending on the
assessment of the patient’s condition and the environment – see section 8.7.3).
▪
Ensure that all electrical functions controlled by the handset work correctly.
