avoid entrapment.

• Before transporting the bed make sure that the bed is at a suitable height to
move without stooping, or straining.

• Always apply the brakes when the bed is stationary.

• When the patient's condition could lead to patient entrapment the mattress
support platform should be left in the flat position whilst unattended.

• The clinically qualified person responsible should consider the age, size and
condition of the patient before using the bed and its accessories.

• Always ensure that all hospital lines and power cables are free from possible
entanglement with mechanical parts of the bed.

• Always ensure that attendant and patient limbs are free from potential
entrapment areas before operating any functions.

• After any adjustments, repair or service and before use, make sure all
attaching hardware is tightened securely

• DO NOT make anybody underneath the bed or in between the raised bed
frame components at anytime

• Side Rails must only be used with a mattress of the correct size which is
approved for use with the bed.

• Maximum mattress thickness should be 150mm.

• Incompatible mattresses can create hazards. Read instructions for use.

• Chose the mattress for the medical bed by below size.

• The manual/electric bed is NOT designed to be used as a patient transport.

When transporting a patient, use an approved patient transport. Otherwise,
injury or damage may result.

• Re-evaluate and revise patient’s treatment program as needed if an episode of

entrapment or near-entrapment occurs with or without serious injury.

• Seek and utilize input about the patient from the patient and family (or

Page | 9
 authorized representative) to assist in identifying nursing and medical risk
interventions.

• Although bed rails are not rated to any specific weight limitation, the bed rails
may become deformed or broken if excessive side pressure is exerted on the

 4. ELECTRICTRONIC FUNCTIONS

Warning
• Ensure that the patient, caregivers and or other equipment is not positioned to
become either trapped or crushed during bed adjustment.

• Ensure that the coiled power lead is not stretched excessively

• Ensure that handset cable and electrical supply cable cannot become entangled
with moving parts of the bed.

• DISCONNECT the electrical power cable from the mains and store before
transporting the bed.

• If the power cable shows any sign of damage, replace immediately.

• Some functions may cause injury to the patient if unintentional movement

occurs. See Nurse Control Panel (ACL) instructions for handset lockout to
avoid unintentional movement.

Caution
• Do not operate the bed controls for more than the control systems prescribed
duty cycle (i.e. ON:2 MIN. OFF/18 MIN).
• The mattress frame height adjustment uses two actuators working in conjunction
and separate to each other creating the vertical lift and enabling the bed to tilt in
opposite directions.
• The backrest adjustment actuator includes an inbuilt manual quick release CPR
function.
• Knee raise actuator
• The actuators are controlled by the buttons on the handset as well as the option of
being controlled by the Nurse Control Panel (ACL) at the foot of the bed, which
also enables the handset buttons to be disabled when required.

Handset Location

The handset is permanently attached at the centre of the bed through a flexible coiled cable.
With minimal manipulation the handset can be positioned at either side of the bed for easy
access by the patient or caregiver. The handset can be stored by hooking it on to the drainage
bag rail either side of the bed.

4.1 Handset Button Operation

Adjustment occurs only while a button is pressed. Adjustment will stop when the button is
released, or the movement selection reaches the end of its range of adjustment.

4.2 Backrest Adjustment

To move the backrest up or down, press and hold the appropriate button on the handset. The
backrest can be adjusted through a range of between 0° and 65°.

The retracting backrest provides additional comfort for the patient by allowing the mattress to
expand. When operating the backrest or cardiac positioning handset buttons the backrest slides
progressively towards the head end of the bed. This action enlarges the seat section of the bed
and helps prevent compression of the abdomen reducing shearing and risk of tissue damage.

Warning
Care should be taken whilst operating the backrest function to ensure hands
and fingers are away from potential squeeze hazards.

unattended by caregivers to minimise the risk of patient injury from falls when
getting in and out of the bed.

4.4 Knee Positioning Adjustment

To move the thigh positioning section up and down, press and hold the appropriate button on
the handset. The thigh section is adjustable through a range of 0° to 35°, which provides
adjustable support to the patient’s legs.

4.5 Auto Contour Positioning

Auto Contour Positioning provides synchronised movement of the backrest and knee
positioning in one operation. The position helps provide a more natural resting environment for
the patient.

4.6 Tilt Positioning - Trendelenburg / Reverse Trendelenburg

The tilt button allows the bed to be positioned in a foot or head down tilt position. Tilt
positioning achievable is between 0° and 14° for both head and foot down tilting.
Warning
The Trendelenburg function should only be used under professional supervision.

• In use the mattress platform may initially rise before tilting. The bed will automatically
adjust to ensure there is sufficient clearance between the mattress platform and the
mechanical structure of the bed before tilting.

• When reversing the tilt angle of the bed with the tilt button remaining depressed the
mattress platform will pause at horizontal for two seconds before continuing on with its
tilting movement

4.7 Under Bed Lighting（Optional）

The under bed lighting feature provides a soft LED illumination of the floor beneath the bed
carriage. This safety feature provides floor illumination for patients at night when getting in
and out of bed. In the event the bed is operating on battery power (e.g. during transport) the
lights will power down after approximately 2-3 minutes.

 6. Parameter list

Recommend mattress size

Max mattress Width =840-860mm， Length =1940mm， Height =100 mm-

size 120mm

Warning
The mattress height should not exceed 150mm ,otherwise it may cause a risk of fall
down
z Check for compression of the mattress’ outside perimeter. Easily compressed
perimeters can increase the gaps between the mattress and the bed rail.
z The mattress to bed rail interface should prevent an individual from falling between
the mattress and bed rails and possibly smothering.
z Care should be taken that the mattress does not shrink over time or after cleaning.
Such shrinkage increases the potential space between the rails and the mattress.
z Ensure that the mattress is appropriately sized for the selected bed frame, as not all
beds and mattresses are interchangeable.
z The space between the bed rails and the mattress and the headboard and the mattress
should be filled either by an added firm inlay or a mattress that creates an interface
with the bed rail that prevents an individual from falling between the mattress and
bed rails.
z Maintenance and monitoring of the bed, mattress, and accessories such as
patient/caregiver assist items should be ongoing.

Caution: It is strongly recommended that protective clothing be used when carrying out
cleaning processes on the bed.
Caution: The following procedure also applies to the beds accessories, but does not include
mattresses.

• Wipe the beds surfaces with a soft cloth moistened with hot water and mild
detergent (or the hospital’s recommended cleaning solution). It is recommended that
the cloth be a white material to prevent bleeding of die colours to the bed. Take extra
care in areas that can harbour dirt or dust.

• Rinse with clean water and a dry clean cloth.

• To remove potentially infectious materials such as body fluids, or when the bed has
been used by someone with a known infection. Clean with NaDCC (e.g. Presept,
Actichlor) at 10,000 ppm of available chlorine. Rinse and dry.

• Allow the cleaned parts to dry before replacing the mattress.

Caution
z Do not use abrasive Hypocarbonate or Phenolic compounds or pads.
z According to the difference of the disinfector, there may make the metal parts
corrupted or the plastic parts turned colors, quality deteriorative change, split, so
please use the above recommended disinfectors.
z Please confirm well the ingredients of the disinfector before disinfection.
z The washing machine and automatic cleaning is not suitable for the equipment.

 8. Repair and Maintain

The following preventative maintenance procedures should be carried out every 12 months.
Caution：Other than general maintenance activities all other service or repair work must be
performed by qualified and trained persons who are approved by CARETEK.
Follow local governing ordinances and recycling instructions regarding disposal or recycling of
device components, including batteries.
A. When maintenance, it is suggested that a use of lubricate of actuators is necessary by
service personnel or trained technician.
When do the daily examination on the connection joints of movable parts of the bed, please
add proper lubricate oil on them. If find serious breakages, please immediately replace it to
make sure the security
When components of the bed system (e.g., new bed rails or mattresses) are changed or replaced,
the reassessment of hospital bed is needed.

maintenance activity.

General maintain(Daily)

Set the Attendant Control Panel (ACL) lockout switches to locked. Refer to ACL
1
instructions in this manual (section 1.3.1.3).
Examine the bed for obvious signs of damage. All aspects of the equipment
2 should operate as intended. Check that all nuts, bolts and other fasteners are tight
and are not missing.
Examine flexible cables and conduits for cuts, cracks, abrasions or other
3
deterioration.
Check that the power supply plug is not damaged. If either the power cable or
4 plug is damaged then both the cable and plug must be replaced as a complete
assembly by an approved service agent.

CENTRAL LOCKING SYSTEM

Battery

A beeping sound heard during normal bed operation means that the battery is at
1 low charge. Reconnect the bed to the mains power supply for a minimum of 24
hours. If the problem reoccurs use step 2 below for verification.
Check the batteries condition every six months using the following procedure:-

1. Make sure that the bed has been connected to the mains power supply for
an uninterrupted 24 hour period.
2. Disconnect the bed from the mains power supply.
3. Apply a load of approximately 80Kg to the mattress platform.
4. Raise and lower the mattress platform from minimum low height to
2
maximum high height three times.
5. If the bed does not operate correctly in step 4, perform steps 1 to 4 again.
If the bed continues to operate incorrectly the batteries may need
replacing. In this situation consult an approved service agent.
6. It is suggested that the battery should be optimized when used in used or
in storage for two months, otherwise the running time of battery is
significantly shortened.
Side rails

• The locking pin mechanism and striker plate arrangement should be

checked every three months.
• Inspect the side rails for general wear and tear on fittings and pivot joints
1 every six months.
• Check for rust, structural integrity of welds and paint finish every twelve
months.
• Check the bed rail for entrapment gaps
Raise the side rail to the upright position until the locking mechanism clicks into
2 place. Refer to the operating procedures on section 5.1. of this manual for further
instruction.
Check that the there is no yellow shaft visible. In the locked position the red on
3
the locking pin shaft should not be visible from above

If the red shaft is visible when the side rail is in the raised and locked position,
4
contact CARETEK for service advice.

Check that the rails pivot axles are securely fitted to the bed. The pivot axles are
locked into place by the manufacturer by a 10mm lock nut. It is rare that re-
5
tightening of the axles would be required, but in the case that it is ensure that the
nut is not over tightened during the tightening procedure.
