cable placement is extremely important.
• Route the mains cable in such a way that
when operating the bed it cannot get pulled,
be cut, or be driven over, or be damaged by
any moving parts.
• When using external electrical equipment,
such as patient hoists/lifts, reading lamps
etc., make sure that the electrical cables
cannot get caught in, or get damaged by,
parts of the bed.
• When not is use, stow the handset in such a
way that it cannot inadvertently fall onto the
floor; and make sure that the cable cannot
get damaged by moving parts of the bed.

• Before moving the bed, it is important
to raise the mattress platform to at least
200mm (8”) above floor level, then unplug
it from the mains power supply. Stow the
mains cable safely on a suitable handset
holder on the head end pedestal, to ensure
that it cannot trail on the floor.
7.5 To safeguard the patient and
particularly children
Always inform the patient about safe operation
of the bed’s controls. If the patient is unable to
operate the bed safely or free themselves from
potentially dangerous positions, they could be
placed at risk through inadvertent adjustment of
the electrical functions.
• It is recommended that children are never
left unsupervised in a room with the bed.
• Place the handset beyond reach of children
or ‘at risk’ patients, to prevent inadvertently
initiating power adjustments of the bed. Any
adjustments may then only be carried out by
or in the presence of a person instructed in
the proper operation of the bed.
• Always ensure that the mattress platform has
travelled to its lowest position before leaving
an ‘at risk’ patient in the bed unattended.
In this way, you greatly reduce the risk of
patient injury as a result of falling out of bed.
• If a patients’ condition contains a risk of
entrapment, then the mattress platform
should always be left in a flat position.
• Take care with the use of side rails. If the
side rails are raised, there is a risk of limbs
gettng trapped or crushed on adjusting the
backrest or kneebreak. Human Care strongly
recommends against the use of side rails.
7.6 Checks and inspections
Make sure to follow mainteance instructions to
ensure safe use ot the bed.
