5. Safety Instructions
5.1
General Safety Instructions
During the briefing, specific attention must be drawn to any potential dangers which
can occur despite correct operation. Before putting the care bed into service for the first
time, the Instruction Manual must be read conscientiously and in detail by the user / care
personnel.
When operating the adjusting functions, there must not be any objects or people's limbs
in the movement paths of the care bed. Risk of crushing!
Do not sit on the leg section of the bed when operating the raise function.
Ensure that children cannot operate the control system and check if pets are under the
bed before operating any of the functions. Never store anything under the bed.
If the physical or mental state of the patient requires, the handset can be locked on the
reverse side of the handset when not in use (nurse’s key). See detailed description of the
locking operation at section 3.3. (it may be advisable to keep the handset out of reach of
such a patient to avoid the risk of strangulation with the handset cord).
Adjustments to the bed must only be carried out by suitably instructed persons or in the
presence of an instructed person.
When the side rails are used, the following instructions must be adhered to:
• Use only approved side rails supplied as an option by Alpine HC. See suitable
dimensions at section 7.1.
• Only suitably instructed personnel are allowed to operate the side rails.
• Side rails must only be adjusted to be either fully up and locked in place or fully down.
• Lower the side rails smoothly and take care not to let them drop down.
• When operating the adjusting functions, the patient’s limbs must not protrude beyond
the mattress base or touch the side rails.
• The side rails are only designed to prevent a person falling out of the bed; under no
circumstances should they be climbed or leaned on.
• When lowering the rails take care not to drop them, they should be lowered carefully.
• The side rails only provide protection against rolling out of the care bed if the backrest
and lower leg adjustments are in the horizontal position.
• The side rail height from the top of the mattress in uncompressed condition must be
at least 220mm. If the height is less than 220mm increase the side rail height with an
extension side rail kit.
• The gap between the two side rails or between the lower side rail and the top of the
bed platform must be less than 120mm.
• During use, ensure that the side rails are level.
Eco/Classic Installation Guide and Technical Specification
The mains plug must always remain accessible to enable immediate cut-off by
unplugging the mains plug from the wall socket in case of emergency.
The mains cable must be free and not caught up in anything, as it gets carried along
when the bed height is adjusted and the mains plug may be pulled out of its socket and
electric leads exposed as a result.
If the mains cable or the mains plug are damaged, the relevant part must be replaced.
This work should only be carried out by the manufacturer or authorised professionals.
When connecting the mains plug, do not use multiple sockets since liquids may penetrate
into the sockets causing a fire hazard and a possible electric shock.
Before cleaning and disinfection, the mains plug must be disconnected and hung up safely.
Plugs for the handset and the motors which are inserted into the mattress base control box
and motor unit, must remain plugged in. This is necessary to prevent water ingress into the
control box.
When the bed is stationary the castors must always be in the braked position. If the
castors are not braked, the bed can move when the occupant gets in and out of the bed,
since the occupant uses the bed for support. Injury can result if the care bed rolls away.
In order to move the care bed, the brake on all four castors must be released and the
mattress base be adjusted to the lowest horizontal position.
The maximum duty cycle and the safe working load must not be exceeded, otherwise
safe operation cannot be guaranteed (please refer to Technical Data).
The bed must not be used in rooms where there is a risk of explosion.
The bed must only be taken apart if there is no patient or occupant in it.

Please observe your obligations as the operator, see section 10.2.
Eco/Classic Installation Guide and Technical Specification
5.3
Safety Information for the User
Ensure that the operator instructs you in the safe operation of this bed.
In addition, pay particular attention to the general safety information laid out in section
5.1.
Adjustments of the bed must only be carried out by suitably instructed persons or in the
presence of an instructed person.
Make sure that the mattress base has travelled to its lowest position before leaving the
patient unattended. This will minimise the risk of injury to the patient when getting in or
out of bed.
If there is a suspected fault or damage, disconnect the mains plug from the socket.
Clearly mark the care bed as “Out of Order” and take it immediately out of service. Then
inform the person responsible for the bed immediately.
5.4
Cleaning and Disinfection
Before cleaning and disinfection, the mains plug must be disconnected and hung up safely.
Plugs for the handset and the motors that are plugged into the control box must remain in their
sockets. This is necessary to prevent water from getting into the control system.
Do not immerse electrical components in water but wipe them with a damp cloth.
The electrical components must not be cleaned with a high pressure cleaner or a water
jet! Only disinfection by wiping is permitted.
Always wear waterproof gloves when cleaning and disinfecting to avoid skin irritation.
Attention: In the event of disinfection by large scale spraying with products containing
alcohol, there is a danger of explosion and fire.
ELECTRICAL
ELECTRICAL
5.5
Servicing and Maintenance
Servicing work must only be carried out by persons who have at least read the safety
regulations and are qualified according to the MPBetreibV (Operators of Medical
Products Ordinance) § 4 and 6.
A technical check and/or safety inspection must be conducted at least once a year and
after a lengthy break in use and before each further use. Refer to section 7.2.
Any defects, damage or signs of wear must be rectified without delay. Only original
spare parts from Alpine HC may be used, otherwise all guarantees or warranties will be
excluded.
Eco/Classic Installation Guide and Technical Specification
Please check all fixings on your bed at least once a month. Pay special attention to side
rail components and mattress platform connections.
The 9V block battery is the energy store for electrical emergency lowering in the event
of a power failure. The energy store is sufficient for one emergency lowering at the most
and must then be replaced. If the expiry date of the battery has elapsed then it must be
replaced immediately. Since batteries are subject to self-discharging, it is recommended
that the battery is replaced every two years if not used. It must be ensured that the
battery is a 6LR61 alkaline manganese battery and not any other type. Used batteries
must be disposed of in an environmentally compatible way.
5.6
Accessories
The optional accessories available include a patient's lifting pole of which the safe working
load is 80 kg and must not be exceeded. The patient's lifting pole may only be used
within its admissible adjusting range which is defined by the sleeve on the bed. Otherwise
the whole bed can tip up and result in serious injury.
Use only mattresses compatible with the supplied side rail system. The dimension
between mattress upper surface in uncompressed condition and top edge of the upper
side rail must be 220mm minimum. If this dimension is less than 220mm, an extension
side rail kit should be fitted.
5.7
Electromagnetic Compatibility
Regarding their emitted interference and interference resistance, the electric motor units
comply with the requirements of EN 60601-1-2:2007 (see section 8.8). However, it is
possible that electrical devices interfere with each other. In this case, switch off the care
bed for a short time or remove the interference source.
5.8
Storage
If the care bed is stored for a lengthy period, the 9V block battery should be removed, as
it will be subject to a higher rate of self-discharge.
5.9
Service Life and Disposal
The normal service life for care beds in domestic use is approx. 5 years. The care bed
must not be disposed of as normal domestic waste after its service life has expired.

waves is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and persons.
a Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations of mobile telephones and
land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio and TV broadcast can not be predicted
theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF
transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey is recommended. If the field strength at the
location of the care bed exceeds the specified compliance level above, then the care bed
should be monitored with respect to its normal operation. If abnormal performance is
observed, it may be necessary to take additional measures, such as reorienting or relocating
the care bed.
b Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.

Recommended working clearances between portable and mobile RF communications
equipment and the care bed
The care bed is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF
disturbances are controlled. The customer or user of the care bed can help to prevent
electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile
RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the care bed as recommended below,
according to the maximum output power of the communication device.

For transmitters not rated in the list above, the working clearance can be determined using the
equation, which belongs to the transmitter, where P is the nominal output of the transmitter in
watts (W) according to specifications of the transmitter manufacturer.
NOTE 1: An additional factor of 10/3 is applied when calculating the recommended working
clearance between transmitters in the 80 MHz to 2.5 GHz frequency range in order to reduce
the probability that a mobile/portable communication device unintentionally brought into the
patient area could lead to interference.
NOTE 2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Propagation of electromagnetic
waves is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and persons.

9. Service Life and Disposal
The service life of our care beds in domestic use is assumed to be approximately 5 years.
This naturally depends upon the manner of use. The care bed is suitable to be put into
service again if all measures of section 2 and 7 are taken. Frequent transportation, setting
up and adjustment reduce the service life, as do improper treatment, irregular servicing
and exceeding the safe working load or the admissible load cycle of the electric motors.
The care bed must not be disposed of as normal household waste after the end of its
service life.
