SAFETY NOTICES

General Protocols

Observe all applicable safety regulations and procedures in your facility to ensure the safety of
patients and care personnel.

Skin Care

The patient's skin condition must be regularly monitored, especially at the most common sites,
in cases of incontinence and at drainage exit points. Additional or alternative therapies should
be considered for high-risk patients. Early intervention is essential to prevent serious
skin damage.

Brakes

The parking brakes should be locked whenever the bed is stationary.

Bed Height

The bed height should be set to the lowest possible position whenever the patient is left
unattended. Before adjusting the height, make sure that there are no objects, persons or body
parts beneath or around the bed frame. When opening the access hatches, the system should
be at maximum height and maximum lateral rotation to reduce the strain on the
caregiver's spine.
