If other equipment (e.g. compressors for positioning systems, etc.) is attached,
ensure that all items of equipment are fixed securely and function properly.
Pay particular attention to:
-
Safe hook-up of all loose connector cables, tubing, etc.
-
consult the manufacturer of the equipment in question, or Stiegelmeyer, if
there are any obscurities
If any damage or malfunction is suspected , take the bed out of service:
-
indicate clearly that the bed is “Out of Order”
-
report this immediately to the operator responsible
Route the mains cable of additional equipment in such a way
that it cannot be pulled, driven over or be endangered,
damaged or crushed by moving parts when the bed is operated.
Hazards due to electric shock and malfunctions can be avoided
in this way.
Make sure that the mattress base has travelled to its lowest position
before leaving the patient unattended. In this way, you greatly
reduce the risk of the patient injuring himself/herself as a result of
falling when getting in or out of bed.
Always ensure that the castors are braked before leaving the
patient unattended in the bed.
Do not place multiple socket outlets under the bed. This could
cause electrical hazards due to damaged mains cables or
penetrating fluids.
Before carrying out any adjustments, make sure that there are no
limbs or objects in the way, in order to avoid hazards due to
trapping and/or damage to property. This applies particularly
when mattress base sections are adjusted to a lower height.
