1 . In general

Please read the entire User's part carefully before using the bed.
All indications of right and left are based on a patient lying on the back in the bed.
Check whether the bed shows any signs of damage. If the bed is damaged, see terms of delivery.
Please contact your Invacare
connection with the delivered product.
Invacare France Operation SAS accepts no liability for any use, change or assembly of the
®
product other than as stated in this User's Manual.
The bed must not be used by patients under 12 years of age, or by patients with body size
equivalent to an average 12-year-old or smaller.
Electromagnetic interference between the bed and other electrical products can occur.
To reduce or eliminate such electromagnetic interference, increase the distance between the bed
and the products or switch them off.
This medical bed can be used together with medical electrical equipment connected to the heart
(intracardially) or the blood vessels (intravascularly), provided that following points are respected:
- The medical bed should be equipped with means for potential equalization connection marked
out by a symbol shown in the back of this manual.
- Medical electrical equipment should not be fixed on the bed's metallic accessories such as side rails,
lifting pole, drip rod, bed ends ect.
In addition, the medical electrical equipment power supply cord should be kept clear of the accessories
or any other moving part of the bed.
If the bed is used by restless (spasms) or confused persons, an ACP box can be used for blocking
the hand control functions.
Ensure the bed is adjusted to it's lowest position before leaving the bed unattended - thereby the effect of
fall-down / entrapment accidents is reduced.
Always apply the brakes when there is no need for moving the bed, to avoid accidents during entering or
exiting the bed, and during handling of the patient.
Disconnect the plug from the mains before moving the bed. The cable must be kept clear off the floor and
the castors during transport.
Make sure that the mains cord cannot be jammed or in any other way damaged, when the bed is used.
Always leave the bed in the lowest position. Otherwise there is a risk of entrapment due to accidental
lowering of the mattress support. A person under the bed can be seriously injured during height
adjustments.
