2.1 USE ONLY FOR THE PURPOSE INTENDED (APPLICATION
ENVIRONMENT)
This care bed is intended for accommodating patients or occupants (height and mass
≥150 cm to max. 185 kg) in residential homes, nursing homes and in care in the home
(application environments 3 and 4) and may only be used under the conditions for use
described in this Instruction Manual. It is used to alleviate or compensate for handicaps or
disabilities and to facilitate the working conditions for the carer.
Any other use shall be regarded as non-compliant with the regulations and is excluded from

ATTENTION: The care bed is not designed for use in hospitals.
The care bed is not suitable for medical electrical applications which involve intravascular or
intercardiac processes with the patient.
The care bed is not designed for the transport of patients.
Under certain conditions the care bed can be used for other medical purposes with medical
appliances such as antidecubitus mattresses, aerators, alimentation systems etc. In this
case all bed functions must be locked out with the nurse key on the handset for safety. The
medical appliance providers are liable for the compliance of the device with the directives of
IEC 60601-1-1.
If other electrical devices are used on the bed and to prevent the risk of an electrical shock,
protective measures and precautions must be established to prevent power cords from being
trapped and squeezed in moving parts of the bed.
2 INTENDED PURPOSE
2.2 NON-INTENDED USE
All uses deviating from the intended purpose, which may also be hazardous as a result.
This includes for example:
• Loading the care bed beyond the safe admissible working load (see section 13.1

GENERAL INFORMATION
3 GENERAL REGULATIONS FOR USERS
The care bed must only be used for the purpose intended. When setting up, operating and
using the care bed, respect the regulations in your country and the general recognised rules
of technology and the occupational health and safety and accident prevention regulations.
If the care bed is in a faulty state, in which the patient/occupant, care personnel or third
persons could be endangered, operation may not be started.
3.1 QUALIFICATION OF USERS
The care bed may only be operated by persons who have the corresponding training or
experience to enable them to handle the care bed correctly.
4.1 GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Never store anything under the bed.
Ensure that children do not operate the control system and ensure no pets are
under the bed before operating any of the functions.
Do not sit on the leg section of the bed when operating the raise function.
During the brieng, specic attention must be drawn to any potential dangers
which can occur despite correct operation. Before putting the care bed into service
for the rst time, the Instruction Manual must be read conscientiously and in detail

GENERAL INFORMATION
Unplug the mains plug from the socket before moving the care bed and take care
to avoid dragging the mains plug across the oor when moving the bed.
The mains plug must always remain accessible to enable immediate cut-off by
unplugging the mains plug from the wall socket in case of emergency. The mains
cable must be free and not caught in anything, as it gets carried along when the
bed height is adjusted. Otherwise, the mains cable may be torn out and damaged.
In addition, the mains plug may be pulled out of its socket and electric leads
exposed as a result. If the mains cable or the mains plug are damaged, the relevant
part must be replaced. This work should only be carried out by the manufacturer or
authorised professionals.
When connecting the mains plug do not use multiple sockets as liquids may
penetrate into these (re hazard and electric shock).
Before cleaning and disinfection the mains plug must be unplugged
and hung up safely. Plugs for the handset and the motors which are
inserted into the mattress base control box and motor unit must
remain plugged in. This is necessary to prevent water ingress into the
control box.
When the bed is stationary the castors must always be in the braked position. If
the castors are not braked, the bed can move when the occupant gets into and
out of bed, since the occupant uses the bed for support. Injury can result if the
care bed rolls away.
In order to move the care bed, the brakes on all four castors must be released and
the mattress base be adjusted to the lowest horizontal position.
The maximum duty cycle and the safe working load must not be exceeded
otherwise safe operation cannot be guaranteed (please refer to the Technical Data
in section 13).
The bed must not be used in rooms where there is a risk of explosion.
The bed must only be taken apart if there is no patient or occupant in it.

GENERAL INFORMATION
4.2 SAFETY INFORMATION FOR THE OPERATOR
With the help of this Instruction Manual, instruct each user in the safe operation of
this care bed before it is put into service for the rst time.
Advise the user of any hazards which may occur if not handled correctly.
Only persons who have been properly instructed may operate this care bed. This also applies
to persons who only operate the care bed on a temporary basis.
According to the Medical Products Act (German abbreviation: MPG, Medizinproduktgesetz),
care beds are Class I active medical products.
Please observe your obligations as the operator in accordance with the Operators
of Medical Products Ordinance (Medizinprodukte-Betreiberverordnung, German
abbreviation: MPBetreibV), in order to ensure the permanently safe operation of this medical
product with no risk of danger to patients, users or third parties. If the care bed is used on a
long-term basis, checks for proper functioning and for any visible damage must be performed
and documented at least once a year. See section 10.2.
4.3 SAFETY INFORMATION FOR THE USER
Ensure that the operator instructs you in the safe operation of this bed.
In addition, pay particular attention to the general safety information in 4.1.
Adjustments of the bed must only be carried out by suitably instructed persons or in the
presence of an instructed person.
Make sure that the mattress base has travelled to its lowest position before leaving the patient
unattended. This will minimise the risk of injury to the patient when getting in or out of bed.
If there is a suspected fault or damage, unplug the mains plug from the socket. Clearly mark
the care bed as “Out of Order” and take it out of service immediately. Please inform the
person in charge without delay.

4.4 CLEANING & DISINFECTION
Before cleaning and disinfection the mains plug must be unplugged
and hung up safely. Plugs for the handset and the motors that are
plugged into the control box must remain in their sockets. This is
necessary to prevent water from getting into the control system.
Do not immerse electrical components in water but wipe with a damp cloth. The
electrical components must not be cleaned with a high pressure cleaner or a water
jet! Only disinfection by wiping is allowed.
Always wear waterproof gloves when cleaning and disinfecting to avoid skin
irritation.
Attention: In the event of disinfection by spraying on a large scale with products
containing alcohol there is a danger of explosion and re.
4.5 SERVICING & MAINTENANCE
Servicing work must only be carried out by persons who have at least read the
safety regulations and are qualied according to the MPBetreibV (Operators of
Medical Products Ordinance) § 4 and 6.
A technical check and/or safety inspection must be conducted at least
once a year and after a lengthy break in use and before each further
use. See section 10.2.
Any defects, damage or signs of wear must be rectied without delay. Only original
spare parts from Harvest Healthcare Ltd may be used, otherwise all guarantees or
warranties will be excluded.
The 9V block battery is the energy store for electrical emergency lowering in the
event of a power failure. The energy store is sufcient for one emergency lowering
only and must then be replaced. If the expiry date of the battery has elapsed then
it should be replaced immediately. Since batteries are subject to self-discharging,
it is recommended that the battery is replaced every two years if not used. Ensure
that it is a type 6LR61 alkaline manganese battery and not any other type. Used
batteries must be disposed of in an environmentally compatible way.
Please check all xings on your bed at least once a month. Pay special
attention to sleeping platform connections.
