1. INTRODUCTION Dear customer, Apollo Healthcare Technologies wishes to thank you for purchasing one of our nursing beds and for the trust shown in our products. The electrical safety and functionality of each bed have been tested by the manufacturer in order to avoid any faults.
2. GENERAL INFORMATION Before using the bed: Read through this whole manual in order to avoid causing damages to • the bed due to improper use. Before using the nursing bed, the user must verify its perfect status and complete efficiency. This bed conforms to all the requirements of Directive 93/42/EEC for medical products and it is classified as a Class I medical device.
2.2 Safety warnings The nursing bed is a high technology product, therefore make sure to read the complete manual when delivered. Make sure to use the nursing bed only if it is in good condition. The goal of the safety warnings is to avoid injuries to people. 2.2.1 Safety symbols used The following symbols appear in this manual: Warnings against injuries...
• Make sure that any possible substitute personnel are also sufficiently trained on how to use the bed correctly. • In case any additional electric accessories are used such as air compressors for overlay mattresses, make sure they are properly installed and work correctly. In particular pay attention to the following: ...
2.3 Product description 2.3.1 Proper use • The nursing bed, hereinafter simply called “bed”, is designed for disabled or ill people and is suitable also for home care. • The bed was not specifically designed for hospital use. • This bed can be used for treatment with a doctor’s prescription and it can be used for diagnosis, care or observation of the patient.
2.3.4 Frame • The bed is supplied fully assembled (except the side rails) to be easily transported by one person into the care facility/house.

3. ASSEMBLY AND OPERATION • The bed is supplied part assembled. • The bed is assembled on location by the retailer’s personnel. • The installation must be carried out by a minimum of one person.

Never attempt to unfold the bed automatically before unhooking the transport securing arm. Once the bed frame is in the flat position and the backrest actuator has ceased moving, the bed is ready to be used. Located at the head end of the bed, in the centre of the backrest mattress platform there is a metal pin illustrated in the image above left.
In case of replacement of any individual components, always make sure that the electric plugs are then properly inserted into the controller. Only in this way the bed will function properly. 3.1.1 Use of accessories Apollo Healthcare Technologies can supply various accessories for use with this bed including side rails, lifting pole, bed lever and dynamic mattress systems.
During the installation of the bed you must take the following issues into serious consideration to minimize potential fire hazards due to external influences. Inform the user and the personnel about these issues! If possible, use only non-flammable mattresses and linens. •...
As with all electrical appliances, despite the compliance with prescribed values, it is not possible to totally exclude the possibility of interferences from other electrical devices which might be nearby (for ex. the “buzz” of a radio). In such a rare case, increase the distance of the bed from the interfering device, do not use the same socket or temporarily disconnect such device.
4.3 Swivel wheels The nursing bed has four swivelling castors which can be blocked individually. • Bring the mattress base into its lowest position. • Before each operation of the bed, make sure the power cable is not stretched, crushed or damaged in any way. How to apply the brake: Press the lower lever down with your foot until it clicks.
The Apollo bed lever is designed to not restrict any moving part of the bed including the side rails and backrest mattress platform. Do not install any third party bed lever as it may restrict the moving parts of the bed, especially the backrest mattress platform.

All mechanical elements that attach to the bed including the side rails should be • checked regularly to make sure there are no signs of damage. This must be done not only before applying the bed rails, but also during use within short intervals (at least before any new use).
