3. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
3.1 Environment
The Innov8 Low bed is intended for use in a hospital where acute/intensive care is
provided and medical supervision and monitoring is required.
3.2 Intended Patient Group
The bed frame is intended for an adult who is up to 190kg in weight. A lower (or
upper) age limit is not defined as it depends on the physical size of the patient in
relation to the various proportions and gaps around the bed frame. Patients must be
in excess of 146cm in height ranging up to 205cm (bed extended) and have a BMI
greater than 17.
3.3 Intended Use
The intended use of the bed is for sleeping / resting and it is intended to assist in
diagnosis, monitoring, prevention, treatment, alleviation of disease or compensation
for an injury or handicap, as determined by the end user and care staff.
The bed frame is intended to support a single adult. A risk assessment must always
be performed on the suitability of the patient to the bed frame and any ancillary
accessories.
The patient is only defined as such when situated in the bed. Both the professional user
and patient are intended to operate the bed. It is the professional user’s responsibility
to determine that the patient is both mentally and physically capable of operating the
bed functions with minimal risk of personal injury.
The bed is intended to provide patients with optimum independence and freedom of
movement and carers with greatly reduced manual handling needs via the electrically
operated movable sections.
For assistance in setting up, using or maintaining your bed or to report unexpected
operation refer to the contact details found in section 2.

3.4 Product Overview
The Innov8 Low bed is intended to be plugged into a permanent mains supply however
it also has a battery backup system for such times that a mains supply is not available.
The bed has two separate handsets, one for the carer with full control capability and
one for the patient with limited functionality and limited height adjustment. The carer
has the ability to lock out individual functions to reduce the risk of accidental operation.
The handsets operate an electronic linear actuator system which is controlled via a
central control box. The actuators are attached to the moving parts of the bed frame
allowing the bed to be operated via the use of either handset.
The powder coated platform supports the full electrical system, five removable plastic
platform panels, two plastic bed end boards and a set of side rails to provide patient
protection; the bed has a safe working load of 255kg. The bed is manoeuvrable via
the aid of four linked castors attached to the base frame of the bed which in turn is
attached to the platform frame via two lift arms.

8. INSTALLATION & PREPARING FOR USE
Prior to operating the bed for the first time the following simple steps must be
performed:
• Ensure the wooden packing boards are removed from the bed prior to connecting
to the mains supply – See section 13 for disposal of the packing boards.
• Ensure the bed and all accessories are at room temperature.
• Ensure the bed has been cleaned and disinfected (see section 11).
• Ensure the brakes have been applied (see section 9.3).
• Connect the mains cable to an appropriate mains socket outlet.
• With the bed plugged into the mains supply allow it to remain inactive for 6hrs.
This is to allow the bed frame and electronic system to adjust to the environmental
conditions of the room.
• The bed is to be left in its lowest position when the patient is
unattended in order to reduce the risk of injury due to a fall.
• Before operating the bed ensure the patient is positioned
appropriately ensuring all limbs are clear of moving parts.
• The mains plug is the disconnect device for the means of isolating
the bed from the mains supply, the plug must be accessible at all
times.
• Ensure the mains cable is plugged into an appropriate power
source at all times.
• To avoid the risk of an electric shock, this equipment must only be
connected to a supply mains with protective earth.
• Ensure the electrical cables are not in tension, paying particular
attention to the mains cable.
• Ensure that all cables are clear of all moving parts to prevent
damage to the electrical components.
• Inappropriate handling/positioning of the mains cable could cause
kinking or shearing of the cable which may lead to exposed live
wires, creating an increased risk of electrocution.
• Precautions are to be taken when routing cables from external
equipment around the bed to ensure that they do not become
squeezed, trapped or damaged.
• A CE marked extension cable must only be used when it is not
possible to reach a wall socket with the mains cable – Contact
Drive DeVilbiss Healthcare Ltd. for detail with regards to the safe
use of extension cables.
Warning

17
• If an extension cable is used never overload it by plugging in
appliances that together will exceed the maximum current rating
stated for the extension cable.
• Block adaptors are not to be used.
• Ensure socket outlets are not positioned under the bed frame.
• Any electrical component that is part of the bed frame or associated
ancillary equipment that is found to be damaged must be replaced
immediately, due to the risk of electrocution.
• Consideration is to be taken in the positioning of the bed cables
and handset cable to minimise the risk of accidental strangulation
resulting from occupant entanglement.
• Keep the bed away from sources of heat and naked flames (e.g.
cigarettes, electric fires, fan heaters etc.).
• Ensure that any mattresses used are of the correct size and type
and have been fitted correctly – Incorrect mattress specification
could lead to an entrapment and / or falls hazard.
• Ensure the mattress is compatible with the side rails (if fitted).
• Special care is to be taken when fitting a dynamic mattress to the
bed as incorrect fitting could damage the bed (see section 16).
• Ensure the bed is positioned an appropriate distance from walls/
other furniture to prevent damage or patient injury when operating
the bed (particularly when operating in tilt).
