3. USER INSTRUCTIONS
3.1 Precautions
Do not use this bed and its accessories without reading carefully this manual and
acknowledging all of the following precautions:
This bed is not for pediatric use;
This bed should not be used in presence of flammable anesthetic gas mixed with air,
oxygen or nitrogen oxide;
Always apply the brakes after moving the bed and before a person sits or lays down
in the bed. This procedure is important in order to reduce the risk of injuries when
the user is getting in or out of the bed. Try to move the bed to make sure that the
brakes are applied;
Take into consideration the general condition of the user before automatically raising
the half side rails at the foot end of the bed so that the user can get out of the bed at
their convenience;
Unless otherwise medically advised by a professional, leave side rails up and locked
when the user is sleeping or left without supervision;
When the side rails are up, try to move them to make sure that they are properly
locked;
Side rails are made to prevent accidental falls. They must not be used to restrain, to
keep the user from getting out of the bed or to help the user to turn. It is the staff’s
responsibility to use the appropriate restraining means, for the user’s safety;
Always lower the bed when the user is sleeping or left without supervision to reduce
risks of falls or injuries;
Always make sure that nothing interferes with the functioning of the bed before using
the commands, i.e.: user or staff’s limbs, medical equipment, etc… which could
result in injuries and/or equipment failure;
Make sure that the power cable is properly fixed so it cannot be damaged during the
functioning of the bed and to avoid injuries and/or equipment failure;
Never widen the platform from only one side. Always widen it from both side and
from equal length in order to ensure bed stability;
Unless otherwise proscribed by a medical professional, always place the platform
horizontally when the user is sleeping;
!

14
Use a mattress that is properly sized to fit mattress support platform, which will
remain centered on mattress support platform relative to State and Federal guidelines.
Length and width should match mattress support platform. Use of an improperly
fitted mattress could result in injury or death.
Use a properly sized mattress in order to minimize the gap between the side of
mattress and Side Rails/Assist Devices. This gap must be small enough to prevent
resident/patient from getting his/her head or neck caught in this location. Make sure
that raising or lowering bed, or contouring the mattress support platform, does not
create any hazardous gaps. Excessive gaps may result in injury or death.
If required for the user’s welfare or security, use the nurse control (if included),
located at the foot end of the bed, to lock all functions of the user’s remote control or
simply unplug the remote (refer to section 3.3);
To reduce the risk of injuries when moving the bed with a person laying in it, always
put the bed at its lowest position, then place the platform horizontally and leave the
side rails raised;
Activate the directional mode of the casters when moving the bed along the corridors
to prevent the swivel of one of the casters. Never try to move the bed sideways when
the directional mode is on. This could result in injuries to the user and/or the staff;
During an emergency situation ONLY, use the CPR function (electric) to lower the
head section. Make sure that nothing is under the head section of the platform of the
bed, including the user’s limbs (refer to section 3.9.5) to avoid injuries and/or
damages to the bed;
Unplug the bed immediately if a significant overflow of liquid is accidentally spilled
on the electronic components, the wires or the electric motors. The functioning of
these components can be affected. The user must be removed, the bed cleaned and
examined by a qualified technician. The bed can be used again only if it has been
properly cleaned and examined;
To clean the bed, use detergents normally used in hospitals, such as Fectolime,
Presept, Percept, Zochlor etc., or a home used detergent, and wash the bed by hand.
The products may be applied by spraying. Always unplug the bed before cleaning.
May be steam washed, but do not use high pressure stream. Never use high pressure

15
streams of water, nor ultrasounds and never submerge the bed parts to clean them up.
Make sure that the cleaned parts are dry before using the bed again;
When changing an electric component, unplug the power cable. This must be done
by a qualified technician;
A regular maintenance is essential to maintain the bed’s reliability. A defective bed
should not be used;
Make sure to block the frame of the bed if you need to work under the platform. This
will prevent the bed structure from falling accidentally;
The manufacturer reserves the right to modify the bed;
Only use Rotec International replacement parts.

16
3.2 Verification before starting to use the bed
These verifications are necessary to make sure that the bed was not damaged during
transport:
Inspect the bed and its accessories visually;
Inspect the head and foot boards installation (refer to section 2.1);
Verify the functioning of the side rails and their locking mechanisms;
Apply the brakes of the casters and check their functioning (refer to section 3.9.3);
Plug the power cable and activate all the motors. Check if their functioning is
constant and complete. This verification also allows you to check the functioning of
the remote control (refer to section 3.3.1);
Unplug the power cable and turn on the motors to check the battery.
NOTE : Plug the bed for 48 hours consecutively to charge the battery before doing
this verification;
Verify the locking functions of the nurse control by activating them and trying to use
the functions of the remote control. Verify also that the commands on the nurse
control work properly by activating them (refer to section 3.3.2);
Verify the patient control integrated to the side rails (option) by activating them (refer
to section 3.3.3)
Verify the functioning of the CPR function (electric) with a mattress and with
someone leaning back against the backrest. Proceed carefully (refer to section
3.9.2).
If the bed is damaged or does not work properly, contact Rotec International customer
service.
