Operating the hospital bed
The hospital bed is meant to be used in normal, dry indoor conditions. The
temperature of the room may vary b10 and + 40 °C and its humidity
between 30% and 75%.
IMPORTANT!
Never use the electric operations of the hospital bed
continuously for longer than the allowed two minutes. Longer
continuous use may cause the transformer to overheat. If you
use the electric operations continuously for two minutes,
pause for 18 minutes consistent with the intermittent operation
limits.
IMPORTANT!
If the patient is allowed to adjust the bed unassisted, instruct
the patient in safe use and ensure the patient's adequate
awareness.
IMPORTANT!
In case of malfunction, the backrest can be manually lowered
using the emergency backrest lowering or CPR backrest
lowering. See the instructions in chapters '6.5 Backrest
emergency lowering' and '7.14 CPR backrest lowering'.
IMPORTANT!
In case of emergency, the hospital bed can be tilted in
Trendelenburg or reverse Trendelenburg angles. See
instructions in chapter '6.7 Trendelenburg adjustment'.
6.1 Hand-held controls
The hospital beds have hand-held controls for adjusting the bed. In 2 function
models, the pushbuttons for adjusting the height of the bed surface and tilt of
the backrest. The 4 function models also have pushbuttons for raising and
lowering the thigh and leg rests. Some hand-held control models may have a
combination button for simultaneous adjustment of different components, for
example combined adjustment of backrest and leg rest. In addition, the ICU
models may have the Trendelenburg and reverse Trendelenburg adjustment or
only the reverse Trendelenburg adjustment.
Depending on the model of hand-held control and bed, the hand-held controls
have various LED lights indicating its status. When the bed is plugged in or is
connected to battery power, the lower end of the hand-held control has a lit
Power On light, a green or yellow LED light, indicating that the power is
connected. In beds equipped with a battery, a flashing signal light in the hand-
held control shows that the battery is charging. When an adjustment button is
pushed in the hand-held control, a green LED light in the top of the control
indicates activation, and it will switch off when the button is no longer pushed.
NOTE! Hand-held controls equipped with magnetic key locking. The locking
function is always used in hand-held controls which are equipped with a
Trendelenburg adjustment function. (Note! Not applicable to controls with only
the reverse Trendelenburg adjustment).
