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 assemble different types of medical devices, you must conduct a risk analysis and make the CE
declaration.
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 of 230 V.
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. MEDICATLANTIC prohibits the
establishment of two beds in a room or in a too close environment as infrared remote command the two beds
together.
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.
Moreover, the telephone number of the company to be contacted for any repairs is given in this document.
When using side rails, the distance between the top of the rail and the uncompressed top surface of the
mattress should be at least 22 cm.
For greater safety, the side rails can be adapted (see accessories).
To assist patient mobility, it is possible to fit a Mobility Aid System (S.A.M.
).
