Requirements on the place of operation
For the operation of the couch, an appropriate mains supply and, if applicable, an equipotential bonding connec-
tion is required at the place of use.
If this is available and the building's wiring permits it, the couch must always be connected to the equipotential
bonding system (see 4.7 Equipotential bonding pin).
Battery
TIP
Charge the battery for at least 24 hours before first use (see 4.5 Battery mode).
The battery is then available for emergency operation without restriction.
3.7
Check before commissioning and reassignment
After the commissioning work has been completed, and before any occupation by a new patient, the couch must
be cleaned and disinfected (see 6 Cleaning and disinfection).
CAUTION
Risk of infection from contaminated couch.
The couch must be cleaned and then disinfected before the first use.
This also applies before each use (occupation by a new patient).
A functional check of the couch must be carried out immediately after cleaning and disinfection and before use.
WARNING
Risk of injury for patient, user and third parties.
The couch must be checked for functional safety after first commissioning and every occupation by
a new patient.
It must be ensured that the couch can be used as intended without endangering the patient, the
user or third parties.
If the couch is put into operation for the first time or before any occupation by a new patient, the same functional
check must be carried out as for recommissioning after storage (see 8.3 Check before recommissioning).
General check of the overall condition of the couch for soiling, condition and damage, completeness
and legibility of stickers, symbols and instructions, clean if necessary in accordance with the manu-
facturer's specifications or those of the operator and repair if necessary.
Visually inspect the mains cable and plug, hand control, as well as all other electrical cables and
connectors for breakage, proper installation (e.g. strain relief), clamping or friction points etc. and
repair if necessary.
Functional check of the electrical adjustment devices and the control system. All electric actuators
must be operated once up to their end positions. Pay particular attention to changed operating be-
haviour, unusual noises, speed, smooth running, odours and increased temperature and repair if
necessary.
Carry out a functional check according to the installed brake system for the castors (locking, free-
wheel) and repair if necessary.
Any defects or damage found must be remedied immediately.
The couch must not be used before the defects or damage have been remedied.
WARNING
Risk of injury due to defective couch.
The couch must not be operated in a defective or faulty condition in which the couch could en-
danger patients, users or third parties.
A defective or faulty couch must be clearly marked "DEFECT". The marking must be done in such
a way that the defective condition is clearly identifiable for everyone.
Inform the operator for intensive inspection during repair.
