2.1 Typical Use
TheInnov8bedrangecoverseveryneedfromautilitywardbedtohighdependency,where
patientswhoseclinicalrequirementsandsituationofcarerequirepositioningwithminimalhandling.
Atthecarer’sdiscretionpatientscanusethecontrolstoadjustthebedtotheirpreferredposition
(withinpatientcontrolrange42cmto71cm).Thecarermayfullylowerandraisethebedusing
thecarerhandset,howeverwhentravellingbelowpatientcontrolrange(whenmattressplatform
islowerthan42cm)thebedwillreducespeedandashortaudiblewarningalarmwillsound(see
page17).
2.2 Risk Assessment
Beforeapatientusesthebedariskassessmentmustbeperformedonapatientbypatientbasis.
Theriskassessmentshouldinclude,butisnotlimitedto:
•Entrapment
•Fallingoutofthebed
•Smallchildren(andadults)
•Patientswithlearningdifculties
•Unauthorisedpeople

5. Manual Operation of the Bed
5.1 General Safety
•Whenthebedisoperated,ensurethatobstaclessuchasover-bedtablesandotherfurniture/ 
objectsarenotcausinganobstruction,particularlywhenloweringtominimumheightwiththe 
nursecontrolpanel.
•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).
•Ensuretheelectricalcablesarenotintension.
•Ensurethatanymattressesusedareofthecorrectsizeandtypeandhavebeenttedcorrectly. 
Arangeofsuitablepressurerelievingandpressurereducingmattressesareavailablefrom
SidhilLtd.
•Ensurethemattressttedisusedwiththecorrectsiderail(seepage10formoreinformation).
•Beforeoperatingthebedensurethepatientispositionedappropriately.
•Whenapatientisleftunattendedthecarermustdeterminewhetherthebedshouldbesetto
theminimumheightofastandardInnov8bed(42cm-aslowasthepatienthandsetwillallow)or
loweredtominimumheightusingthenursecontrolpanel(22.5cm).
Note: If the bed is lowered to ultra low height using the nurse control panel the patient will be able
to raise the bed, but will not be able to lower the bed back down below 42cm using the patient
handset.
5.2 Brake & Steering System
5.2.1 Brake Bar Operation
Toactivatethebrake,simplypressdownonthebrakebarwithyourfootinadownwardfashion.
Thiswilllockthecastorsandpreventthebedfrommoving.
Toreleasethebrakes,raisethebarbackuptoahorizontalposition,byhookingyourfootunderthe
barandapplyinganupwardforce.Thiswillallowthecastorstoswivelfreely.
Tomovethepedalintosteeror‘tracking’position,liftthepedalupwardspastthehorizontal,by
hookingyourfootunderthebar,applyinganupwardforce.Twocastorswilllockinaspecic
‘tracking’positionallowingthebedtobesteeredmoreeasily.

• Whenthepedalisintrackingpositionthemattressplatformmustnotbelower
than400mmfromtheoor(minimumheightthepatienthandsetwillallow).
• Loweringthemattressplatformtominimumheightwiththepedalintracking
positioncouldleadtoequipmentdamageand/orinjury.
• Thebrakemustalwaysbeengagedwhenthebedisstationary.

5.2.2 Moving the Bed
Beforemovingthebedthefollowingchecksmustbeperformed:
•Siderailsmustberaisedifthereisapatientinthebed,tominimisetheriskoffalling.
•Theplatformmustbehorizontal.
•Theplatformmustberaised/loweredtoasuitableheightforpushing.
•Themainsleadmustbeunpluggedandstoredonthecabletidyhooks
•Ifthebedistobepushedup/downaslopeSidhiladvisethattwopeoplemovethe
bed,withonepersonateachend.
•Ifthebedistobepushedwithaheavyloaditshouldbeassessedwhetherornot
twopeopleshouldmovethebed,thisisdependentonthesituationandloadon
thebed.
5.3 Side Rails
TheInnov8Lowbedcanbespeciedwithtwodifferenttypesoffoldingsiderail,thisistoprovide
theoptimummattress/siderailcombinationforbothfoamandairmattressofvaryingthickness.
Whenspecifyingamattressandsiderailcombinationaclinicalassessmentofthepatient’sneeds
mustbecarriedoutinlinewiththelocalpolicy.

NCPisdesignedtobestoredatthefootendofthebedbyclippingitoverthebedendpanel.
TheNCPenablesthecarertofullyoperateandpositionthebedaccordingtothepatientsneeds
(includingloweringtoultralowheight);forsafetyreasonsitisimperativethattheoperating
instructionsinthisbookletarefullyreadandunderstoodbeforetheInnov8LowBedisused.

Thebedcomeswithanantibacterialadditiveincorporatedintothepowdercoated
metalwork.Biocote®inhibitsthegrowthofbacteriaonthesurfaceofthebedframe.
Itiseffectiveagainstawiderangeofbothgrampositiveandnegativebacteriaas
wellasfungi.ExamplesofbacteriathatBiocote®isresistanttoinclude:
•BacillusSubtilis
•StaphylococcusAureus(MRSA)
•EscerichiaColi0157
•StreptococcusFaecalis
•SalmonellaEnteritides
•ListeriaMonocytogenes
Toaidcleaning,theplasticbedendsandmattressplatformpanelscanberemoved.Itisalso
advisabletoremoveanyaccessoriesthatarefastenedtothebed.
Theseinstructionsapplytoallaccessoriesapartfromsoftproducts(e.g.mattresses).

dilutedinwarmwater(40°c).
•Thebedshouldbecleanedbystartingwiththecleanestpartsofthebedandsystematically 
movingtothedirtiestparts.Extracareshouldbetakenaroundareaswhereexcessdirtordust 
maygather.
•Theclothshouldbechangedduringthecleaningprocessifitbecomessoiled.
•Rinsedownwithcleanwatertoremovedetergentresidue.
•Wipesurfacesdownwith1,000partspermillionchlorinesolution(0.1%)
•Dryoffwithapapertowel.
•Alwaysensurethecleanedpartsareallowedtodrybeforeputtingthemattressbackinplace.
Incasesofbloodspillsorotherbodilyuidsitisrecommendedthatachlorinesolutionof10,000
partspermillion(1%)isusedinstead.
Alternatively:
SidhilrecommendtheuseofChlor-cleantablets.Followthemanufacturer’sinstructionsfor
