5. CLEANING AND DISINFECTING
5.4 DETERGENTS AND DISINFECTANTS
Make sure to follow the recommendations listed below to maintain the bed functionality for as long as possible:
• All surfaces must be intact and any damages must be immediately rectified.
• We recommend using a method of disinfection (wet) by scrubbing. The detergent should not be aggressive (not harmful
for the skin and for surfaces) and it must be ecological. In general you can use a mild household detergent.
• To clean and disinfect the painted metal parts use a damp cloth with a common non aggressive mild household
detergent.
The disinfectant for scrubbing the bed must be chosen from among those recommended for this procedure (and used
in the indicated concentration).
• Despite the mechanical strength of the bed it is necessary to remove any scratches and dents in the paint with special
repair kits in order to prevent moisture penetration.
The backrest actuator should then be mounted under the bed frame again so that the

moving back rest section of the mattress platform.
Ensure all mounting pins are fully inserted through the bed frame mounting points on both
sides of the actuator and the spring loaded locking loops are in the closed position.
5.4.1 HOW TO USE DISINFECTANTS
• You must only use the correct concentration! We recommend using automatic dispensers.
• Prepare the solution always with cold water to prevent the build up of vapours which might be irritating for mucous
membranes.
• Wear gloves to avoid any direct contact with the skin.
• Do not store the disinfectant solutions in open bottles or containers. Make sure to always close them!
• Use bottles with pump dispensers to wet the cleaning cloth.
• Ventilate the room after the disinfection.
• Carry out the disinfection by scrubbing and not by spraying the disinfectant in a large quantitative with the risk of being
inhaled.
• This is why rubbing plays an important role.
• Do not use alcohol for large surfaces.
All the cables should be already attached to the control box and numbered 1 – 4 with a
tag on the opposite end where they connect into each actuator. The number inside the
control box (re circles above) should correspond with the same number on the other end

of each cable.
The owners of the nursing beds, in accordance with the applicable regulations in force, are requested to guarantee the
safety conditions of the medical products during their use. To achieve this, it is therefore necessary to regularly carry out
inspections and maintenance interventions.
Number 1 cable should be connected into the backrest actuator.
Number 2 cable should be connected into Hi-Lo actuator at the foot end of the bed.

Therefore it is necessary both for the owner and the user to follow the safety norms for medical devices with the imple-
mentation of regular inspections to verify the correct functioning of the bed.
Inform the user that it is mandatory to carry out these check.
6.1 By the user
In addition to regular checks by the specialised staff, even the normal day to day users (such as nurses, assistants, etc.)
must perform both a visual and a functional inspection before each new use and at regular intervals.
Recommendation: check all mechanical and electrical components once a month. In addition check the power cord and
the hand control cable after each mechanical stress and after each change of position.

The main control box comes already attached to the
knee break actuator with all the cables for the
actuators and the handset connected.
The knee break actuator should be mounted under
the bed frame so that the motor end (the end where
the cables connects to the actuator) is towards the
centre of the bed and the extending ram of the
actuator is connected to the moving knee break
section of the mattress platform.
In order to insert the securing pin into the end of the
extending ram you need to manually lift the knee
break and pull out the ram so that it is away from the
control box it is attached to, allowing you to insert the
locking pin. Please see image to the left.
