CLEANING & DISINFECTION
Before cleaning and disinfection the mains plug must be unplugged
and hung up safely. Plugs for the handset and the motors which are
plugged into the control box must remain in their sockets. This is
necessary to prevent water from getting into the control system.
Do not immerse electrical components in water but wipe clean with a damp cloth.
The electrical components must not be cleaned with a high pressure cleaner or a
water jet! Only disinfection by wiping is allowed.
Always wear waterproof gloves when cleaning and disinfecting to avoid skin
irritation.
Attention: In the event of disinfection by spraying on a large scale with products
containing alcohol there is a danger of explosion and fire.

SERVICING & MAINTENANCE
Servicing work must only be carried out by persons who have at least read the
safety regulations and are qualified according to the MPBetreibV (Operators of
Medical Products Ordinance) § 4 and 6.
A technical check and/or safety inspection must be conducted at least
once a year and after a lengthy break in use and before each further
use. See section 10..
Any defects, damage or signs of wear must be rectified without delay. Only original
spare parts from Harvest Healthcare Ltd may be used, otherwise all guarantees or
warranties will be excluded.
The 9V block battery is the energy store for electrical emergency lowering in the
event of a power failure. The energy store is sufficient for one emergency lowering
at the most and must then be replaced. If the expiry date of the battery has
elapsed, replace immediately. Since batteries are subject to self-discharging, it is
recommended the battery is replaced every two years if not used. Ensure it is a
type 6LR61 alkaline manganese battery and not any other type. Used batteries
must be disposed of in an environmentally compatible way.
Please check all fixings on your bed at least once a month. Pay special
attention to sleeping platform connections.

ACCESSORIES
The optional accessories available include a patient lifting pole of which the safe working load
of 80 kg
must not be exceeded
. The lifting pole may only be used within its admissible
adjusting range which is defined by the sleeve on the bed. Otherwise the bed may tip up and
result in serious injury.

ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY
Regarding their emitted interference and interference resistance the electric motor units
comply with the requirements of EN 60601-1-2:2007 (see section
13.7
). But it is possible
that electrical devices interfere with each other. In this case switch off the care bed for a
short time or remove the interference source. We refer to the paper of the BfArm reference n°
9/0508 (Bundesinstitutfür Arzneimittel und Medizinprodukte).

TRANSPORT & STORAGE

SERVICE LIFE & DISPOSAL
The normal service life for care beds in domestic use is approximately 5 years. The
care bed must not be disposed of as normal domestic waste after its service life
has expired. To ensure that it is disposed of in an environmentally compatible way
please contact Harvest Healthcare Ltd.
The care bed can be easily transported
on the transport rack. It can be
maneuvered in very small spaces on the
bed’s castors.
If the bed is stored for a lengthy
period, the 9V block battery should be
removed, as otherwise it would
discharge.

Care bed on the
transport device
When the bed is moved on the transport frame take care not to allow it to
overbalance. The narrow, tall design saves storage space but may tip over
if handled carelessly.
