Before beginning any cleaning or disinfecting procedure, make sure you are wearing suitably protective clothing and gloves to prevent against skin irritation or other adverse skin reactions.
Do not disconnect any cables between actuators, Handsets or the Control Box; doing so could allow fluid ingress into electrical systems. Never use any type of water or steam high pressure cleaner, jet or spray on any of the electrical components, use detergent/disinfectant on a damp cloth only.
6 Operating Instructions 6.1 General Safety Instructions In order to avoid risk of crushing, always ensure there are no objects or people’s limbs in any plane of movement of the Elite Bed before operating or adjusting any Bed functions. If the mental state, behaviour or other patient condition requires the restricted use of Bed functionality, the Handset can be locked using the Handset Lock-Out Key.
