Transport, braking
The birthing bed also allows transporting the patient. This is, however, subject
to the following conditions:
 The birthing bed allows transporting the patient by pushing forward on
the handle of the back section. Before transporting the patient,
disconnect and store the power supply cables and equipotential and
other connections properly to prevent their tearing off. Use the handle
of the back section to transport the bed. Do not transport the patient if
the bed is set in the chair position. If you do so, you can cause injury
to persons or damage the device. Before transporting the patient, the
central brake must be released.
 When transporting the patient, the locking pedal must be used to
secure the front directional castor in a straight direction. Otherwise the
patient has to be transported by two persons.
 When transporting the bed in hospital premises, make sure that the
patient as well as all equipment, such as cables (including the power
supply cable), hoses, tubes, etc., are safely placed in the area bounded
by the circumference of the bed. If you fail to do so, you can cause
injury to persons or damage the device.
 During transport, check the stability of the infusion stand - it can hit
doors or ceiling lights. Before transporting the patient, set the stand
into the lowest position possible. If you fail to do so, you can cause
injury to persons or damage the device.
 After the transport, reconnect the power supply cable and secure the
bed with the central brake. If you fail to do so, you can cause injury to
persons or damage the device.
 Do not expose the bed to prolonged extreme effects of external
environment (snow, frost, rain, etc.). It could damage the device.
 Transport the bed in its lowest position and make sure that it is not
transported over areas with lateral inclination exceeding 5°. In case of
interrupting the transport (stopping the movement of the bed) always
secure the bed with the central brake. If you fail to do so, you can
cause injury to persons or damage the device.
 The maximum threshold crossing height is 10 mm.
 During transport, pay attention to the leg rests, side rails, foot section
and hand grips to prevent hitting doors and other objects. If you fail to
do so, you can cause injury to persons or damage the device.
