Help V1.0 (06.03.2009)

Foreword We are delighted that you have chosen Völker healthcare beds. We are also grateful for the trust you have placed in our company and our products. This step is undoubtedly the result of extensive considerations and examinations of the requirements that you want to make on new healthcare beds based on your previous experiences. You clearly had good reasons to choose Völker healthcare beds. We promise you that Völker healthcare beds will not disappoint you.

It is not without good reason, after all, Völker healthcare beds are now regarded worldwide as extremely innovative medical products. This relates not just to the design principle, which has been completely redeveloped by Völker, but also to the range of product advantages that have been checked and improved time and time again based on their practicality in use. These advantages now benefit the patient in terms of comfort, but also make the everyday work of care personnel easier. Now, every healthcare bed has product features that are of practical benefit to their users. However, as far as we know, none of them offers the range of advantages that a Völker healthcare bed does.

Völker healthcare beds not only look great, but they also offer functions that can be controlled or adjusted mechanically, although most of them are controlled or adjusted using electric motors or electronic components. If you purchase these beds, the responsibility for their correct and appropriate use is transferred to you. Consequently, we strongly advise that you consult the enclosed instructions for use to learn about the technical features, handling and use of all the functions. We wish you every success with Völker healthcare beds

Heinrich Völker Chairman, Völker Aktiengesellschaft

Before first activation

DANGER represents an immediate threat of danger that can cause serious physical injury or death.

Völker care bed models 5380, 5380 K built after April 2005 – Instructions for use G67

Position of the care bed CAUTION To avoid injuries caused by falling, we recommend (except while care is being given) that the bed is generally set at its lowest position when the castors are raised. While the bed is in its lowest position, it is automatically braked. Transporting the bed CAUTION The healthcare bed is not designed for transporting people. When transporting the bed, it must always be ensured that the mains connection cable is not touching the floor, the lying surface is in the horizontal position and that the lying surface height is at least 35 cm. The bed must only be moved over solid ground. Never attempt to push it over obstacles of over 1 cm in height. The maximum

Notes | General safety notes 2/4 angle of inclination of the floor must not exceed 10°. Securing the bed CAUTION "Risk of accident" If the bed is not being transported, the brake must always be applied, since the bed may be required as a support for when the occupant stands or lies down. If the brake is not applied and the bed rolls away, the patient may fall. Once the brake has been applied, check that the bed is actually properly parked. The bed can be in a non-fullybraked status even after first activation or reactivation, and consequently it must be checked that the castors are correctly raised.

Contents

One-sided load on the bed NOTE In order to prevent onesided loads on the bed, it must not be used as a seat for persons other than the occupant (i.e. visitors must not sit on the edge of the bed).

•

Ensure that the side rails (or parts thereof) are either fully raised and locked in position or completely lowered.

•

It must be ensured that the occupant, when the electrical lying surface adjustment is actuated, does not come into contact with the side rail elements. It is also important to ensure that no part of the body is sticking out through the side rails.

•

If the side rails are used with a person whose psychological condition would deem their use necessary, then it must be ensured that the hand control is kept out of their reach or its functions are blocked. It is strongly recommended that side rail covers are used.

Side rails WARNING "Risk of entrapment" In the case of occupants whose physical or mental condition would deem it necessary to use side rails to protect them from falling out of bed, the following safety measures must be observed: •

The legal permissibility of using side rails must be ascertained.

•

The side rails may only be operated by trained care personnel.

Notes | General safety notes 4/4 Using oxygen equipment DANGER "Risk of fire" Do not use any oxygen equipment other than that which is administered via nasal prongs or masks. Do not use the bed in a room with a potential explosion risk. (Provided it has been excluded (e.g. based on information in the instructions for use of the equipment being used) that the use of the equipment may cause the O2 concentration to rise to such a degree that there is an explosion risk (even when there is no fault), then the equipment can be used). Rail spacers When using the rail spacer, please read the separate instructions for use for this accessory. During technical checks, the rail spacers should also be checked to ensure they are suitable for the size of side rail used.

Cleaning and disinfection In order to maintain consistent functioning, the healthcare bed should be cleaned, disinfected and tested at the soonest possible opportunity following each use, so that it can be reused immediately without risk. Dangers can arise from the incorrect cleaning / disinfection  48 of the bed. Maintenance and repair Anyone responsible for carrying out maintenance and repair work must at least have read the safety notes and the service manual and be qualified in accordance with MPBetreibV §§ 4 and 6.

The technical check must be carried out at least once a year and after every lengthy period of non-use. Any discernible damage, such as signs of wear and tear, loose screws or breaks/fractures must be eliminated immediately. Electromagnetic / static interference The healthcare beds in model series 5380 and 5380 K satisfy the EMC requirements in accordance with the law on medical products (MPG). The basis for testing is standard EN 60601-1-2.
