1Preface and general instructions
The various bed systems from Hermann Bock meet special requirements for the use in
care and treatment facilities as well as for home care. Reliable functionality and a long
product life make each bed particularly valuable. Our beds need little maintenance with
proper operation and care. Each bed from Hermann Bock must pass quality testing in a
final inspection before it is shipped anywhere. The beds are manufactured according to
the current standards and compliant with the statutory requirements for medically used
beds, and tested accordingly.
The nursing care beds comply with the EN 60601-2-52 standard. The electrical building
components comply with safety standard EN 60601-1 for medical devices. Comfort beds
that can be converted into full-fledged nursing care beds are medical devices, and are to
be assigned to Class 1.
These standards divide the beds in five different areas of use:
1. Intensive care in a hospital; intensive care bed
2. Short-term care in a hospital or other medical facility; patient bed in the hospital
3. Long-term care in medical environment; stationary nursing care bed
4. Care at home, pure so-called “HomeCare bed”
5. Home-care nursing service
1.1 Intended purpose
The comfort/nursing care bed is suitable for persons in the
need of care (adults) who are at least 146 cm tall. The person's
weight must not exceed 185 kg and must be over 40 kg. The
body mass index (BMI = weight of the person (kg) / body height
of the person (m)2) must be greater than or equal to 17.
The stellar may be used as a nursing care bed in homes for the elderly or nursing homes
and rehabilitation facilities. It is used to alleviate a disability and/or to facilitate the lives
of people who are in need of care or to make the work of their caregivers easier. Accord-
ingly, the nursing care beds are designed to be used for the application environments 3 to
5. Furthermore, the stellar as a comfort bed was also designed as a convenient solution
for the home care of frail and elderly people, as well as for the home care of people with
disabilities. Accordingly, the comfort bed described below is intended for the application
environment 4.
Any other use is considered improper and is excluded from a possible liability claim.

The comfort/nursing care bed is not suitable for the use in hospitals. It is also not designed
to transport patients. The comfort/nursing care bed can only be moved within the pa-
tient's room - even during a patient positioning - for example, for cleaning or to provide a
better access to the patient.
The comfort/nursing care bed is suitable for the re-use. Please observe the instructions
for cleaning, care and disinfection in these assembly and operation manual. Special atten-
tion must also be paid to the information regarding the inspections.
Attention: The comfort/nursing care bed has no special connection options for an poten-
tial equalisation. Electrical medical devices connected to the patient intravascular or in-
tracardiac may not be used. The operator of the medical products has to ensure that the
combination of the equipment meets the requirements of EN 60601-1.

fort/nursing care beds must be acquainted with the contents of these instructions. Im-
