Regular inspections with service
Regular inspections facilitate the maintaining of the highest possible safety level, and are
considered to be an important safety precaution. Medical devices must be inspected reg-
ularly in terms of safety according to the stipulated regulations of the manufacturer and
the generally accepted rules of technology. The safety-related protection measures are
subject to different requirements and demands. This also applies to the potential wear
and tear in the daily use. To prevent such risks, constant and consistent compliance with
the deadlines for regular functional testing is absolutely necessary. The manufacturer has
no influence on the operator’s adherence with respect to the observance of these regula-
tions concerning electric beds. Bock facilitates the observance of the necessary precau-
tionary measures to be taken by means of their time-saving services.
The execution of the inspection, assessment and documentation must be performed only
by or under supervision of professional persons such as electricians or electro-technically
instructed persons who have a thorough knowledge of the relevant provisions and are
able to recognize possible impacts and hazards.
In the event that no person on the part of the user is eligible for the regular inspections
or is commissioned, the Bock service offers you the assumption of the regular inspections
with simultaneous control and observance of the corresponding intervals for a fee.
The company Hermann Bock GmbH specifies an inspection interval which stipulates that
a safety-technical inspection is to be executed at least once annually, and with each re-
use of the bed.
For support purposes, Hermann Bock GmbH will provide you with the inspection list in the
assembly and operation manual for carrying out all the necessary tests. Please copy the
checklist as a form for your inspection. The checklist serves as evidence report of the per-
formed inspection and must be kept on file.
The inspection list can also be downloaded from the Internet: www.bock.net.
