2.2 Safety
Standards
The product meets the requirements of valid standards EN 60 601-1 and EN
60 601-1-2
According to the Directive on Medical instrumentation 93/42/EEC the birthing
bed is classified as medical instrument of 1st class.
Function
The essential functions are lying, sitting and supporting the woman in
labour. Additionally, it is the CPR position.
Delivery bed is used by mothers before and during delivery. A bed equipped
with adequate accessories offers birth mothers the opportunity to take up their
optimum position for birth. Delivery bed can be used together with a set of
cushions.Before use it is necessary to disinfect the bed with common
disinfectant solutions, place a hygienic cover over its washable surface using
typical draping. Positioning and handling the bed is not an obstacle in providing
health care. Handling the foothold part, especially by retracting it (fast way to
store it under the seat/back part) at the end of the second stage of delivery it is
possible to create more space to perform obstetrical and vaginal surgeries and
it is also useful for practical training of medical students and midwives.
14
BORCAD Medical a.s.

Delivery bed provides the possibility to perform an acute Caesarean section
either under general anaesthesia or NAB anaesthesia (neuraxial block). It also
enables for immediate preparation of the birth mother for a Caesarean section
and her positioning on the side until the foetus is removed (supine syndrome
prevention), also the use of other medical devices (resulting in ME system) for
continuous control of reduced venous return, blood pressure, routine ECG
monitoring, pulse oximeter, NIBP, and capnometry. During procedures it is
possible to use approved surgical devices (VF) for making incisions or
coagulation. If it is necessary to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation, it can
be performed on this delivery bed including the use of the defibrillator. Delivery
bed is also equipped with a Trendelenburg position, which can be operated by
both electric drive and mechanically – manually. After delivery and the transfer
of a birth mother it is necessary to wash and disinfect all the easily removable
parts and light upholstery together with plastic parts and covers again.
 The upper handle on the backrest can, in some cases (given the
customs of a particular school or workplace) provide slightly worse
access for the anaesthesiologist to the patient.
 For a Caesarean section it is necessary to remove the trapeze bar from
the delivery bed and lower the foot section to the lowest position.
Indication
Delivery bed is designated to be used by mothers ready for spontaneous

vaginal delivery and also as aid to search for individual positions providing relief
in all delivery stages.
Based on the supplied equipment it is possible to conduct the delivery in a
typical or an alternative way – positions: lying on the back, the semi-recumbent
position, on all four limbs, lying on the side, in a squatting position, in a
suspended position or squatting down with the help of a partner. In case of
acute, urgent or emergency needs it is possible to perform a Caesarean
section.
Contra-indications
A relative contra-indication is the use of the delivery bed for elective Caesarean
sections (planned) when it is planned to perform the surgery in a standard
operation room with adequate equipment.
Interaction
When using the delivery bed as part of the medical system, certain elements
(medical devices) may interact. Before this application it is necessary to follow
recommendations provided in the user manual of the delivery bed.

2.4.5 Adjusting the foot section
Inserting/pulling out
Foot section may be in its low position turned along vertical axis and it may be
arrested in three positions:
a) Pushed in (part is completely hidden under the seat)

b) Medium position (turned at 60 angle)
c) pulled out (up to 90from the starting position where it forms a uniform
bed together with seat and back part)
Adjustment to any of these positions can be done after pressing the controller
with an arrow specifying the intended direction of pushing the control element
downwards and turning the foot section towards the operator. After releasing
the control, while turning the foot section, it will be automatically arrested in the
nearest position. If you wish to fluently pull out or push in the foot section
completely, just keep the control pressed.
31
BORCAD Medical a.s.

Lifting and unfolding
The surface of the completely pulled out foot section may be folded and lifted up
to the level of the seat. All listed positions of the foot section do not limit setting
of the birthing bed. Before loading the foot section its correct locking shall be
checked by short moves to the sides.
Unfolding upwards:
 Pull the control lever with the left hand

 Grab the front edge of the foot section with the right hand and pull upwards.
After releasing the control lever during lifting and folding the selected
position of the foot section will be arrested.
 With continuous pulling the upper horizontal position of bed is reached.
Folding down:
 Pull the control lever with the left hand (Pic.1) and simultaneously push
the back edge of the foot section with the right hand until the foot section
reaches low position (Pic.2).

 The load capacity is max 50 kg.
 Manipulation with the seating section or the one placed under the legs
as well as with the support brackets can cause a collision, especially
when the support brackets are situated close to the under-leg section
or above it.
 Motoric movement of the seat part requires proper visual control of the
position of underfoot supports.
 Be extremely careful when adjusting the particular positions and, most
importantly, avoid the positions as follows:
35
BORCAD Medical a.s.

2.4.7 Separable leg supports (PPA-00.46.x)
The leg supports are made of two parts, which are used together to ensure leg
support. If you remove the top part, you can still use the handgrips. In this
position the bed is best suitable for boarding.
Removal procedure:
1) Push the safety lock (Fig. 1)
2) Pull the top part of the leg support out of the locking mechanism (Fig. 2)
3) The bottom part remains in the chair in case you wanted to use the handgrips
(Fig. 3)
Fig. 1 Fig. 2

In the interest of easy removal/installation, ensure perpendicular position of the

top part in relation to the bottom part of the leg support as shown in the
following figure.
36
BORCAD Medical a.s.

In the interest of safety make sure the safety lock clicks in, when you
install the leg supports. The leg supports must not be used unless they
are locked properly. Figure 1 shows a detail of the correct installation.
Fig. 1
For greater clarity, the foot rests are marked with coloured circles. The left
foot rest is marked with a grey circle. The right foot rest is marked with a
blue circle on the removable part as well as on the fixed one. It is
recommended to match the colour marks on the fixed and removable
parts so that the foot rests are not interchanged.

assistant. The massage segment is designed for relaxing massaging of the
back and it is integrated in the back mat of the bed so as to allow normal laying
when the massage function is not in use. It is not a vibrating massage, but a
pressing one with two speeds.
1. The massage segment is turned on by short pressing of the colored spot

on the side of the mat – image no. 12.
2. By repeated pressing of the spot higher massaging speed is activated.
3. Third pressing stops the massaging function. If massage is not turned off,
it is stopped automatically after 15 minutes.

2.4.15 Exchangeability of mattresses / upholstery of birth bed bearing surfaces
Incompatible mattresses / upholstery can cause danger. The birth bed is

fitted with replaceable upholstery. In case of damage to upholstery (e.g.
mechanical or physical-chemical damage), it is necessary to exchange the
upholstery for a perfect one in order to maintain the birth bed hygienic
compatibility and overall safety. In other cases, the manufacturer recommends
replacing the upholstery of bearing surfaces after 5 years of use. Date of
upholstery manufacture can be found on the reverse side of the back and
underfoot part.
10-2012
When changing the bed, always make sure that the upholstery fits
correctly to the seat section of the bed. Spaces filled with fabric do not
fulfil their function. Silicone pins of the upholstery do not hold and there
is a risk of injury of the labouring woman or damage to the plastic parts of
the mattress.
In case of ordering special design of the existing mattress, the back and
seat sections can be equipped with openable zippers to allow better
access to the PUR foam (PPA-370).
