10 Maintenance
10.1 Bases
Operators of care beds are required to ensure the safe and proper operation of the medical
device by means of continuous maintenance measures (inspection and maintenance).
The service life of the healthcare bed depends essentially on handling and maintenance. To ensure
safe operation, we recommend that a visual and functional check, including an electrical check, be
carried out at least once a year and before each reuse as a guide value, under your own
responsibility and with verifiable compliance with the 2% error rate. If during the electrical test it can
be proven that an error rate of <2%, the test cycle can be extended to a maximum of two years.
If you have any doubts about the safety or function of any part of the VitalFlex Elite healthcare bed
during the maintenance measures described below, the bed must never be put back into operation.
Then contact the supplier or manufacturer.
Electrical components must not be opened and must be replaced. Defective electrical
components must be replaced by qualified personnel.
The electrical tests described here may only be carried out by a qualified electrician or, if suitable
measuring and testing equipment is used, by a person trained in electrical engineering.
