2.3.4 Structural design
Mattress base
The mattress base is divided into a backrest, a seat section, a thigh rest and a
lower leg rest. The mattress base height can be adjusted to a horizontal position,
and can be tilted into a Trendelenburg or anti-Trendelenburg position.
All adjustments are performed manually only and are assisted by gas springs.
Undercarriage
The undercarriage is located under the mattress base and its height can be
adjusted with a hydraulic foot pump. Overload protection reduces the risk of
damage to the bed when passing under architectural obstacles.
The Trendelenburg and anti-Trendelenburg positions can be adjusted smoothly
and continuously with the aid of a gas spring.
The bed has four castors that can be centrally locked. Optional: Central castor
locking with a steering lock for easy straight-line travel.
Side guards
The bed is equipped with integrated side guards to protect the patient from
accidentally falling out of bed. Optionally, the side guards can be omitted.

3Putting into Service
Before putting the bed into service for the first time:
Remove all transport securing devices and packaging film.
Clean and disinfect the hospital bed (see Chapter 5).
Use only authorised accessories (e.g. mattresses, external side guards), to
minimize endangering patients through crushing/ falling out of bed. For further
details see Chapter 4.4.1; 8.
Each time before putting the bed into service, the user must check that:
-the bed has been cleaned and disinfected;
-the castor brakes are applied (see Chapter 4.1);
-no obstacles such as bedside lockers, floor cable ducts or chairs will impede
bed adjustments;

3.2 LOCATION REQUIREMENTS
There must be sufficient room available to accommodate the bed’s entire
range of adjustments. Obstacles such as bedside lockers, floor cable ducts,
furniture, or window sills must not impede adjustments.
Before using the bed on parquet flooring, check whether the castors can
leave marks on the parquet varnish. We accept no liability for such wear. The
bed can be used on tiles, carpet, linoleum or laminate flooring without causing
any damage.
If other equipment (e.g. compressors for positioning systems, etc.) is attached,
ensure that all items of equipment are fixed securely and function properly.
Pay special attention here to the safe routing of all loose connector cables,
tubing, etc. If you have any queries or concerns, consult the manufacturer of
the equipment or Stiegelmeyer.

Instruction manual for the hospital bed Deka
Page 16
Minimise, as far as possible, the risk of fire due to external influences.
Instruct users on these points:
Use only flame-retardant mattresses and bedding if possible.
Avoid smoking in bed, since the mattress and bedding used may
not be resistant to smokers' accessories.
Only use additional equipment (e.g. electric blankets) and other
electrical devices (e.g. lamps, radios) that are in perfect working
order!
-Ensure that this equipment is used only for the purpose intended.
-Ensure that this equipment is not unintentionally placed on or
under the bedding (danger of overheating)!
Avoid using extension cables or multiple socket bars under the bed
(risk of fire due to penetrating fluids).
Extension cables and/or multiple socket outlets should not be used
at all.

Instruction manual for the hospital bed Deka _____________________________________________

4Operation
4.1 MOVING AND BRAKING THE BED
The bed is equipped with four individually locking castors.
Optional: central castor locking at the foot end. A steering lock can be activated
for one castor at the foot end of the bed, which makes it easier to move the bed
in a straight line and to manoeuvre the bed.
As a general rule, always apply the brakes when the bed is not
being moved or when a patient is left unattended in the bed.
If individually locking castors are fitted, apply the brakes on each
castor to achieve the maximum brake action and to prevent the
bed from rolling away.
Check to ensure that the bed is properly braked.
Each time before moving the bed, ensure that:
-the cables, tubes or wires of any mounted equipment are
adequately secured and cannot be damaged.
Otherwise the mains cable could sustain damage as a result of
being torn off, crushed or driven over. Such damage could lead to
electrical hazards and malfunctions.
When the bed is moved, ensure that objects hanging in the
universal holder [11] do not cause any damage (e.g. to door
frames).
Risk of crushing! When transporting a patient, ensure that the
patient’s hands and feet do not protrude over the edge of the
bed and that they can not get in the way of the wall deflection
rollers.

Central castor locking at the foot end (optional).
Located to the right and to the left of the
castor pair at the foot end of the bed is a
foot lever which can be used to lock all four
castors.
Steering lock
In order to ensure that the bed moves in a
straight line, the bed is equipped with a
steering lock on one of the castors at the
head end of the bed.
Please note: The castors must first be swivelled
in the direction of travel. With this position of
the pedal, the bed can only be manoeuvred
from the foot end once the steering lock has
engaged. The bed is pushed at this end.
4.2 MANUAL ADJUSTMENTS
4.2.1 Safety Information
When making any adjustments, always ensure that there are no
limbs in the way that could be trapped in the process.
Heavy patients may cause raised backrests/thigh rests to drop very
quickly after actuating the operating lever!
Do not forcibly raise the backrest and thigh rest even higher if these
are already tilted to a high degree, to prevent the risk of trapping
the patient and causing potential congestion of the blood in the
patient's limbs.
When raising the backrest or thigh rest, the flat backrest/thigh rest
may move upwards very quickly after actuating the operating
lever if there is no load resting on it.
For this reason, always grasp the grab handle [11; 14] on the
backrest or thigh rest with one hand before operating the lever
and "control" the adjustment in this way.
Ensure that no obstacles such as night tables, floor cable ducts or
chairs could impede adjustments to the bed.
Ensure that there are no objects on the undercarriage.
