Safety Information Safety Information for Bed Operation Safety Information Safety Information for Bed Operation This hospital bed may only be operated by persons who have been instruction by the operator in its safe operation. Electrical adjustments are only possible when the hospital bed is properly connected to the mains power supply (exception: emergency operation using lead-acid batteries).
Make sure that the cable cannot be crushed, stretched or otherwise damaged by moving parts of the bed. To safeguard the patient, and children in particular, against unintentional electrical adjustments, place the handset out of their reach (e.g. at the foot end of the bed) or lock the appropriate ad- justment options. Deka...
Safety Information Safety Information for Bed Operation In these cases, adjustments must only be performed by a person trained by the operator, or in the presence of a trained person! 5.1.4 Bed Adjustment CAUTION Risk of Injury Lock the operating functions for the patient on the handset if The patient is unable to operate the bed safely, The patient is unable to free himself/herself from potentially dangerous situations, The patient could be at risk from inadvertent adjustment of the electric actuators,...
