4.6 Accessories / Options
An erector is supplied as an accessory whose safe working load of 80 kg must not be exceeded. The
trapeze bar is not used to lift persons but makes it easier to change from a lying position to a sitting
position or to change the position. The trapeze bar must not be swiveled outside the bed and must
only be used within its permissible adjustment range, which is defined by the tube holder on the
bed. Otherwise, the bed may tip over completely and lead to serious injuries.
Please only use mattresses that are compatible with the side rails supplied. The distance between
the mattress surface in the non-compressed state and the upper edge of the upper side rail must be
at least 22 cm. If the distance is less than this, a side guard must be used. As a rule, a mattress
thickness of 12 cm to 16.5 cm is suitable when using the undivided wooden side rails. When using
the split side rails, a maximum mattress thickness of 17.5 cm may be used.
Make sure that the dimensions of the mattress correspond to the dimensions of the lying surface of
your healthcare bed.
4.7 Electromagnetic compatibility
The electric drives meet the requirements of EN 60601-1-2:2007 regarding their interference
emission and immunity (see chapter 13.7). However, electrical devices may interfere with each
other. In this case, switch off the nursing bed briefly or remove the source of interference.
4.8 Storage
If the nursing bed will be stored for a longer period, the 9V block batteries should be removed
as a precaution in order to avoid damage to the bed due to possible leakage of liquid.
4.9 Useful life and disposal
The service life for beds in domestic areas is assumed to be approx. 5 years. The nursing bed
must not be disposed of with normal household waste at the end of its service life. For
environmentally friendly disposal, please contact your local authority or Vital Mobility.
