is intended for use by both the patient and the caregiver. However the handset should
be operated by the care person. During the operation of the bed position by the
caregiver, make sure that the user is informed about the change in the position of the
mattress platform.

of actuators, which are controlled by the central control box. Actuators are attached
to moving parts of the bed’s frame. This enables to change their position with the use
of the handset. Pressing the appropriate button activates the selected function, and
releasing completes the operation and stops all movements. The caregiver has the
option of blocking the bed’s functions (if necessary) in order to reduce the risk of
accidental and/or unintentional operation of the bed. The caregiver is responsible for
determining whether the patient is mentally and physically enable to operate the
bed’s functions with a minimal risk of injury or damage to the body.
During the operation of the handset by the care person, it should be ensured that the
user is informed about the change in the position of the mattress platform.
