Do not use multiple sockets to connect the mains plug, as liquids could penetrate (fire
hazard and electrical shock).
Before cleaning and disinfecting the care bed, the mains plug must be disconnected from
the mains and securely hung up. The plugs for the handset and the motors which are
plugged into the control unit on the lying surface drive must be plugged in. This is
necessary so that water cannot penetrate the control unit.
The maximum duty cycle and safe working load must not be exceeded, otherwise safe
operation is no longer guaranteed (see technical data).
The VitalFlex Elite nursing bed must not be used in potentially explosive areas.
The nursing bed may only be dismantled if there is no patient or occupant in it.
4.2 Safety instructions for the operator
Use these operating instructions to instruct each user on safe operation before initial use.
Inform the user of any hazards that may exist if the device is not handled properly.
Only instructed persons may operate the nursing bed. This also applies to persons who only operate
the healthcare bed as representatives.
For long-term use of the systems, function checks and visible damage must be carried out and
documented at least once a year (see chapter 10.2).
4.3 Safety instructions for the user
Let the operator instruct you in the safe operation of the nursing bed.
Observe the general safety instructions as described in para. 4.1.
Bed adjustments may only be carried out by instructed persons or in the presence of an instructed
person.
Move the lying surface to the lowest position if you leave the nursing bed unattended with the
patient. This reduces the risk of injury to the patient when getting in and out.
If malfunction or damage is suspected, immediately unplug the power cord from the outlet. Mark the
care bed as a "defect" and take it out of operation. After that, please inform the responsible operator
immediately.
