SAFETY GUIDELINES
1. The instructions must be read and followed before using
the patient bed.
2. Explanation of symbols on the type label.
CE Conformity label according to the medical
products guidelines
IPX4 Electrical equipment splash proof
“Use only in dry rooms”
Safety class II (double insulation,
reinforced insulation)
The information on the type label must be observed.
3. The bed may not be operated in case of malfunctions or
defects that could endanger persons.
4. Electric patient beds may be operated only by trained
personnel.
5. Before operating the bed, the user must check it for safe
function and proper operating condition.
6. To avoid the danger of falls when patients get in and
out of bed, the brakes on the wheels should always be
locked.
7. The bed can be transported in various positions. Please
ensure that no body parts or other objects are in the ad-
justable areas.
8. Only nursing staff may adjust the side rails. Please en-
sure that the patient is not touching the side rails when
changing mattress position to avoid crushing body parts.
9. The function of the side rails must be inspected daily and
they may not be loaded more than 70 kg in vertical po-
sition or 50 kg in horizontal position.
10. When lowering the mechanical emergency back rest (op-
tion) it must always be supported to prevent a sudden
collapse.
11. The functions of the manual control can be blocked or
activated by an additional switch on the back. The action
of the blocking function must be checked on the manual
control.
12. The drive mechanism used must be supplied with power
from a VDF power source – power adaptor 220 V, 50 Hz.
13. The power cable has an additional mechanical strain re-
lief. Still, care should be taken to protect the cable from
sharp edges and crushing or abrasion.
14. The layout of the manual control device allows it to be
placed in the holder so that the buttons are not accidently
activated between two objects. It should be ensured that
the manual control is freely accessible and not blocked
between the side rails and nightstand.
15. When using the bed in the patient room, ensure to main-
tain safe distances from the walls, windowsills, or other
furnishings. The safe distances are determined depen-
ding on the design and model of the bed and the height
adjustment and positioning. The minimum distance is 30
mm.

10 |
16. When used improperly, the following dangers may arise:
Unintended activation of electrical functions
Use of the bed by children under age 12
Moving the bed by pulling the power cable or side
rails
Simultaneous activation of electrical functions by
more than one person
Activation of the functions by patients who have not
been instructed in use
Pulling on the power cable to cut off electricity
Moving the bed on a slope or rough surface
The mattress used must comply with safety stan-
dards and may not be more than 120 mm thick.
Permanent presence of liquids in the motor area is
to be avoided (e.g. incontinence)
The handle on the backrest is to be replaced com-
pletely every 5 years for safety reasons.
Repairs and maintenance of electrical components
may use only original manufacturer replacement
parts and must be carried out by specially trained
personnel.
The patient bed is not intended for permanent ope-
ration for more than 2 min. If the motor is overused
or overheated, operations are automatically swit-
ched off. The motor can be switched on again only
after a 2-hour cooling-down period.
Blocking the mechanical parts of the bed must be
avoided as this can lead to damage and complete
loss of the motor function from overheating.
Exceeding the safe load must also be avoided.
The long-term positioning of immobilized patients
can cause bedsores if no other positioning aids are
used. The manufacturer of the patient bed is not
liable for bedsores.
Electrically operated patient beds are medical pro-
ducts and according to the medical product law
and medical product operator directive § 6 are
subject to technical safety checks. These regular
technical safety checks must be conducted at least
once a year. A visual and functional inspection
of functional and electrical safety according to
VDE0751 must be conducted. See. No. 13. Main-
tenance
In addition, electric patient beds are electrical
equipment; the employer is responsible for their
safety. Monitoring this responsibility is the duty of
the professional association for health care and
welfare (BGW) and the trade supervisory offices.
The regulations of the associations for safety and

|11
health (BGV, formerly VBG) apply. In particular
BGV A2 (formerly VBG) “Electrical Systems and
Equipment”, which recommends inspections of
portable electrical equipment every six months,
but at least once a year. These inspections may be
carried out only by an electrician or a person with
electrical training using a special test instrument.
The inspections according to BGV A2 can be car-
ried out during safety checks for medical products
by personnel trained by the manufacturer, as these
BGV inspections are included in the technical safe-
ty tests.
Electrically powered patient beds are active medi-
cal products and in accordance with the medical
device operator directive must be included in an
inventory list for each business premises. It is re-
commended to document the proper execution of
the required technical safety checks in the inven-
tory and to present it at the next inspection. The
required records of the previously technical safety
checks should be included in the inventory.
The orderly execution and documentation of the
technical inspections, service and maintenance
work, and technical safety checks recommended
by the manufacturer are a necessary condition for
preserving the customer’s warranty rights. If the
operator of a medical product does not fulfill his
duties, risks of damages and accidents may arise
that are expressly not the responsibility of the ma-
nufacturer.
Repairs are to be carried out in accordance with
VDE0751-1 and concluded by documenting with
a technical safety inspection.

FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
Depending on the model and type of hospital bed, the bed can
be used in the following positions by adjusting the backrest, the
upper and lower leg sections as well as the height:
Backrest (RL)
Die Verstellung der Rückenlehne erfolgt über die entsprechen-
den Tasten des Handschalters.
(Operating buttons backrest)
The movement sequence of the RL enables a length compen-
sation at the head section of the bed of 120 mm.
This function (mattress compensation) permits the patient to
adopt a comfortable sitting position without being compressed
or restricted in movement in the abdomen and upper body.
Mechanical unlocking of
the backrest (option)
When operating the mechanical unlocking, hold the backrest
firmly in the set position and reduce force slightly where neces-
sary. Then pull firmly on the unlocking mechanism of the RL
until the RL is significantly lowered. Slowly lower the RL to the
end position.

|19
Caution! When adjusting the height, care
should be taken to ensure that the patient is
secure! No foreign objects may be present in
the area of the lifting mechanism.
Comfort sitting position
The adjustment for comfort sitting position is made using the
respective buttons of the hand control.
(Operating buttons comfort sitting position)
When using the button function, the actuator motors of the
mattress base and the lifting mechanism simultaneously move
the bed into a sitting position.
This function should only be used for mobile persons and resi-
dents without physical complaints.
Caution ! When using the comfort sitting positi-
on, ensure the safety of the patient! No foreign
bodies must be in the movement area of the
lifting mechanism.
Auto contour
The adjustment for auto contour position is made using the
respective buttons of the hand control.
(Operating buttons auto contour)
Using the operating buttons, the back and upper leg rests are
equally adjusted, so that the patient can be brought into an
upright sitting position.
This function should only be used for mobile persons and resi-
dents without physical complaints.
Caution ! When using the auto contour positi-
on, ensure the safety of the patient! No foreign
bodies must be in the movement area of the
lifting mechanism.

tion can be adjusted.
(Operating buttons Trend/Anti-Trend)
Caution ! When using the rotation function,
ensure the safety of the patient! No foreign
bodies must be in the movement area of the
lifting mechanism. These functions may only
be used by professional personnel and must be
locked on the back of the remote by the profes-
sional personnel. Maladjustment may lead to
permanent damage to the resident.
Blocking function on manual
control unit
The electrical equipment is based on state-of-the-art technolo-
gy and first failure safety.
The blocking function provides an additional safety measure.
This function is located on the rear side of the hand control unit
and can be operated by personnel using a key switch. In the
event of a malfunction of the electric drive, the functions can
be stopped using the appropriate rotary switch.
