ling because of their training or knowledge and practical experience.

functional safety and the proper condition of the bed.
7) The bed must be subject to a function test, possibly daily or with each

replace them.

patient to avoid the risk of a fall.
12) When operating the mechanical emergency lowering of the backrest,
(optional) this must always be fixed to the mattress restricting bar or

staff. When adjusting the patient surface positions, nursing staff must be
satisfied that the patient will not come into contact with the side rails, to
avoid entrapment of hands, legs or other body parts.
