Although the bed is conforming with Electromagnetic Compatibility, some devices may alter how it functions,
in which case they must be used at a distance or not used at all.
The bed is a medical device and must not be modified under any circumstances. You must ensure its
traceability, including that of the boards and its accessories.
If you are assembling medical devices not provided by the bed manufacturer, you must check the conformity
of the assembly and make the CE declaration of the new medical device.
The electric parts (jack, supply box, wired control, etc.) shall only be repaired by the manufacturer Linak.
The bed is not suitable for use with an inflammable anaesthetic mixture with air or oxygen or nitrous oxide.
The loads permitted (see bed characteristics) must be distributed evenly over the bed base.
Do not activate all the motors at the same time when the patient is in the bed (only one motor is authorised at
one time, except elevation by 2 motors or simultaneous function).
After each use and while care is being administered to the patient, the brakes must be activated.
We recommend putting the bed in its low position after every use and while the patient is resting, to reduce the
height of falls by a confused or agitated person. Remember to lock the function(s) (if the option is available).
On change of height or angle of the parts of the bed, make sure that there are no objects and no parts of the
patient’s or carer’s body caught between the bed, the boards, the accessories and the ground or between the
boards and base or between the cross braces.
Do not sit down on the side of the back rest or leg rest if this is not flat.
In the case of a prolonged more than 50 ° tilt bust semi-sitting position, it is recommended to vary the position
of the person in bed every 2 hours.
When the bed is being moved, keep the power lead well away from the ground and wheels.
When use of an adaptor, extension lead or connection plug proves necessary, you must check that its
characteristics are suitable for the bed.
Connection to the supply box must be done using a mains complying with the standards in force and
corresponding to a voltage of use indicated on the device.
The mains plug must be disconnected before the bed is moved.
Do not pull on the mains leads to disconnect the mains plug.
During any handling, try not to catch the leads of the motors and remote control and do not get them knotted.
The wired control must be hooked to the headboard when not in use.
In the case of the use of infrared remote control(s), WINNCARE allows the establishment of a single bed in the
same room (or in a close environment) or a second bed only if the infrared options of 2 beds concerned are
different (I
and
I1).
The condition of the leads must be checked frequently. If the slightest modification is observed, the person in
charge for maintaining the bed must be contacted to carry out the necessary repairs.
If repairs are required, the person in charge of maintenance must be contacted.
For greater safety, some side rails can be adapted (see accessories).
Side rails should not be used to manipulate or move the medical bed.
To assist patient mobility, it is possible to fit a Mobility Aid System (S.A.M.
).
For assistance, if necessary, in mounting, operation or maintenance or to report unexpected operation or
events, call your supplier or Winncare.
The cleaning instructions recommended must be complied with.
