Putting into Service
No electrical measurements are necessary prior to putting this bed into service for
the first time, since the bed was tested by the manufacturer for electrical safety
and functionality and left our factory in perfect condition.
Before putting the bed into service for the first time:
Remove all transport securing devices and packaging film.
Clean and disinfect the hospital bed (see Chapter 5).
Use only authorised accessories (e.g. mattresses, external safety sides), to
minimize endangering patients through becoming trapped or falling out of
bed. For further details see Chapters 4.5.1; 8.
Check that
-
The bed is connected to a properly earthed mains socket only;
-
The mains voltage from the socket is the same as the rating shown on the
electrical type-plate on the bed. (The type plate is located under the
backrest beside the mains cable entry);
-
The mains cable is connected and routed in such a way that it cannot be
damaged and can easily be reached at any time to unplug it from the
mains socket;
-
The mains cable, drive cables and handset cable cannot be damaged by
moving parts of the bed;
-
If the bed is equipped with rechargeable batteries, it is connected to the
mains supply for at least 24 hours. This is the only way to ensure that the
batteries are fully charged and are available in case of an emergency (see
Chapter 4.2.5).
Each time before putting the bed into service, the user must check that:
-
The bed has been cleaned and disinfected;
-
The castor brakes are applied (see Chapter 4.1);
-
No obstacles such as bedside cabinets, supply rails or chairs will impede bed
adjustments;
-
All adjustment facilities work properly and have been checked (see Chapter
3.1).
The bed may be put into operation only after carrying out these checks!
