6 INTENDED USE6 INTENDED USE
Intended use
The Evenda bed is a height and contour adjustable bed for use in a long-term professional care setting
where medical supervision is provided. The bed is to be operated by appropriately trained caregivers
attending to the care of residents/patients and by residents/patients determined to be clinically capable.
The Evenda bed is suitable for long-term care in a medical area where medical supervision is required
and monitoring is provided if necessary, e.g. nursing homes and geriatric facilities.
The bed is intended for use by residents/patients having a height between 146 cm (4’10”) and 210 cm
(6’10”) and between a weight of 40 kg (88 lb) and 195 kg (430 lb).
The Evenda bed with 4-wheel conguration may be used for transportation of residents/patients.
The Evenda bed must be used by appropriately trained caregivers with adequate knowledge of the
care environment, its common practices and procedures, and in accordance with the guidelines in the
Instructions for Use.
The Evenda bed should only be used for the purpose specied in the Instructions for Use. Any other
use is prohibited.
Indications for use
The bed is indicated for medical purposes to aid the patient and/or sta󰀨 during the performance of
routine care.
The bed is appropriate for situations where assistance is required in positioning the patient, or in
reducing lifting and manual handling stresses on the caregiver.
Resident/patient assessment
We recommend that facilities establish regular assessment routines. Caregivers should assess each
resident/patient according to the criteria provided and dened in the intended use above.
Contraindications
The Evenda bed is not suitable for use in the following situations:
• Residents/patients weighing less than 40 kg (88 lb)
• Residents/patients weighing more than 195 kg (430 lb)
• Residents/patients height is not in in the range of 146 cm (4’10”) and 210 cm (6’10”)
• Residents/patients BMI less than 17
• Homecare setting
• Residents/patients transportation with 6-wheel or 8-wheel bed conguration

7INTENDED USE 7INTENDED USE
The recommended patient height is between 146 cm (4’10”) and 210 cm (6’10”). At the discretion of the
caregiver, patients taller than 190 cm (6’3”) may be accommodated by extending the bed. The patient’s
height must not exceed the in-bed length.
The age, size and condition of the patient should be assessed by a clinically qualied healthcare
professional to ensure they can use the bed safely.
If the patient/resident does not meet these criteria an alternative equipment/system shall be used.
Safe Working Load
The safe working load of the bed is 230 kg (507 lb)
The safe working load is calculated as follows (in accordance with EN 60601-2-52):
Maximum resident/patient weight: 195 kg (430 lb)
Mattress: 20 kg (44 lb)
Accessories (including attached loads): 15 kg (33 lb)
TOTAL: 230 kg (507 lb)
If the combined weight of the mattress and accessories exceeds 35 kg (77 Ib), the maximum resident/
patient weight must be reduced accordingly.
Installation requirements
The equipment must be installed in accordance with guidance provided in the Instructions for Use.
Expected Service Life
The expected service life of the Evenda bed is 10 years.
Service life is dened as the period during which the product will maintain the specied performance
and safety, provided it has been maintained and operated in conditions of normal use in accordance
with the requirements in the Instruction for Use.

*Suitable mattress length depends on if the Evenda bed has been extended.
Powered air mattressess
Powered air/foam mattresses might be thicker than a foam mattress. Replacement to a powered air/
foam mattress must be assessed individually prior to use to verify that enough space for the bed rails is
maintained.
If a powered air/foam mattress is used, place the mattress squab at the head end.
For more information on appropriate mattresses and mattress replacements, contact your local Arjo
o󰀩ce or approved distributor.
WARNING
To avoid entrapment when the bed is extended 20 cm, place a mattress squab at the foot
end.

12 PREPARATION
Initial startup
Turning on/o󰀨 the bed
1. Plug the power cord into a power outlet.
See Figure 1.
2. Position the bed so that the mains plug is easily
reached to disconnect from the power outlet.
3. To turn o󰀨 the bed, disconnect the power cord
from the power outlet. If the bed is equipped
with a battery, the bed still operates after
disconnecting the power cord.
Hand control startup
The Power indicator light on the standard hand
control lights up when a button is pressed for the rst
time. See Figure 2.
Some glitches may occur the rst time the hand
control is turned on. If using the standard hand
control, perform the following checks.
• If the height adjustment LED is ashing, raise the
bed to the maximum height, then lower it to the
desired height.
CAUTION
To ensure proper performance, leave the bed
connected to a power outlet for at least 10
hours after plugging it in for the rst time with
the battery installed.
NOTE
If using a power outlet controlled by a power
switch, make sure the power switch is set to
ON.
Figure 1
Figure 2

13PREPARATION
• If the backrest adjustment LED is ashing, lower
the backrest section all the way down, then raise
it to the desired position.
• If the thigh section adjustment LED is ashing,
lower the thigh section all the way down, then
raise it to the desired postition.
If using the optional hand control with tilt function,
press every button after plugging in the bed. If any
button is not functioning as expected, perform the
same checks as for the standard hand control to
initialize the controls.

See Figure 4.
Steer: All four castors can rotate, but the steering
castors are locked so that they cannot swivel. This
helps to keep the bed on a straight line. See Figure 5.
Using the steering castors
1. Position the bed so that all the castors line up in
the direction of travel.
2. Raise the pedals to lock the steering castors and
move the bed by pushing it from the opposite
end.
The steering castors may be at either end of the bed,
as specied by the customer.
