3.1 Environment

The Innov8 Low bed is intended for use in a hospital where acute/intensive care is
provided and medical supervision and monitoring is required.

3.2 Intended Patient Group

The bed frame is intended for an adult who is up to 190kg in weight. A lower (or
upper) age limit is not defined as it depends on the physical size of the patient in
relation to the various proportions and gaps around the bed frame. Patients must be
in excess of 146cm in height ranging up to 205cm (bed extended) and have a BMI
greater than 17.

3.3 Intended Use

The intended use of the bed is for sleeping / resting and it is intended to assist in
diagnosis, monitoring, prevention, treatment, alleviation of disease or compensation
for an injury or handicap, as determined by the end user and care staff.

The bed frame is intended to support a single adult. A risk assessment must always
be performed on the suitability of the patient to the bed frame and any ancillary
accessories.

The patient is only defined as such when situated in the bed. Both the professional user
and patient are intended to operate the bed. It is the professional user’s responsibility
to determine that the patient is both mentally and physically capable of operating the
bed functions with minimal risk of personal injury.

The bed is intended to provide patients with optimum independence and freedom of
movement and carers with greatly reduced manual handling needs via the electrically
operated movable sections.

For assistance in setting up, using or maintaining your bed or to report unexpected
operation refer to the contact details found in section 2.

3.4 Product Overview

The Innov8 Low bed is intended to be plugged into a permanent mains supply however
it also has a battery backup system for such times that a mains supply is not available.
The bed has two separate handsets, one for the carer with full control capability and
one for the patient with limited functionality and limited height adjustment. The carer
has the ability to lock out individual functions to reduce the risk of accidental operation.

The handsets operate an electronic linear actuator system which is controlled via a
central control box. The actuators are attached to the moving parts of the bed frame
allowing the bed to be operated via the use of either handset.

The powder coated platform supports the full electrical system, five removable plastic
platform panels, two plastic bed end boards and a set of side rails to provide patient
protection; the bed has a safe working load of 255kg. The bed is manoeuvrable via
the aid of four linked castors attached to the base frame of the bed which in turn is
attached to the platform frame via two lift arms.

8. INSTALLATION & PREPARING FOR USE

Prior to operating the bed for the first time the following simple steps must be
performed:

• Ensure the wooden packing boards are removed from the bed prior to connecting
to the mains supply – See section 13 for disposal of the packing boards.

• Ensure the bed and all accessories are at room temperature.

• Ensure the bed has been cleaned and disinfected (see section 11).

• Ensure the brakes have been applied (see section 9.3).

• Connect the mains cable to an appropriate mains socket outlet.

• With the bed plugged into the mains supply allow it to remain inactive for 6hrs.
This is to allow the bed frame and electronic system to adjust to the environmental
conditions of the room.

• The bed is to be left in its lowest position when the patient is
unattended in order to reduce the risk of injury due to a fall.

• Before operating the bed ensure the patient is positioned
appropriately ensuring all limbs are clear of moving parts.

• The mains plug is the disconnect device for the means of isolating
the bed from the mains supply, the plug must be accessible at all
times.

• Ensure the mains cable is plugged into an appropriate power
source at all times.

• To avoid the risk of an electric shock, this equipment must only be
connected to a supply mains with protective earth.

• Ensure the electrical cables are not in tension, paying particular
attention to the mains cable.

Warning

• Ensure that all cables are clear of all moving parts to prevent
damage to the electrical components.

• Inappropriate handling/positioning of the mains cable could cause
kinking or shearing of the cable which may lead to exposed live
wires, creating an increased risk of electrocution.

• Precautions are to be taken when routing cables from external
equipment around the bed to ensure that they do not become
squeezed, trapped or damaged.

• A CE marked extension cable must only be used when it is not
possible to reach a wall socket with the mains cable – Contact
Drive DeVilbiss Healthcare Ltd. for detail with regards to the safe
use of extension cables.

16

Warning

Caution

• If an extension cable is used never overload it by plugging in
appliances that together will exceed the maximum current rating
stated for the extension cable.

• Block adaptors are not to be used.

• Ensure socket outlets are not positioned under the bed frame.

• Any electrical component that is part of the bed frame or associated
ancillary equipment that is found to be damaged must be replaced
immediately, due to the risk of electrocution.

• Consideration is to be taken in the positioning of the bed cables
and handset cable to minimise the risk of accidental strangulation
resulting from occupant entanglement.

• Keep the bed away from sources of heat and naked flames (e.g.
cigarettes, electric fires, fan heaters etc.).

• Ensure that any mattresses used are of the correct size and type
and have been fitted correctly – Incorrect mattress specification
could lead to an entrapment and / or falls hazard.

• Ensure the mattress is compatible with the side rails (if fitted).

• Special care is to be taken when fitting a dynamic mattress to the
bed as incorrect fitting could damage the bed (see section 16).

• Ensure the bed is positioned an appropriate distance from walls/
other furniture to prevent damage or patient injury when operating
the bed (particularly when operating in tilt).

• Ensure the mains supply is compatible with the control unit (see
section 15.2 for electrical specification).

9.2 General Safety

• Before operating the bed ensure the patient is positioned
appropriately and limbs are clear of moving parts.

• When a patient is left unattended the carer is to determine
whether the bed should be set to the minimum height allowed by
the patient handset (420mm) or lowered to minimum height using
the carer handset (225mm).

Warning

• When a patient is left unattended the carer is to determine
whether the side rails need to be raised or not.

• When a patient is left unattended the carer is to determine whether
the patient handset functions need to be locked out or not.

Caution

When the bed is operated, ensure that obstacles such as over-bed
tables and other furniture/objects are not causing an obstruction,
particularly when lowering to minimum height with the carer handset.

not be lower than 400mm from the floor. Lowering the mattress
platform to the minimum height with the pedal in the tracking position

Caution

9.4 Moving the Bed

Before moving the bed the following checks must be performed:

• Side rails are to be raised, to minimise the risk of a patient falling.

• The platform is to be horizontal.

• The platform is set to a suitable height for pushing.

• The mains cable must be unplugged from the wall and stored on the cable tidy
hooks on the back of the bed.

could lead to equipment damage.

20

When moving the bed it is advisable to set the steering function to ‘track’ and to push
the bed from the foot end of the bed. This way, the person pushing the bed is able to
monitor the condition of the patient during transport and can keep the bed moving in
a straight line with minimal effort.

• If the bed is to be moved with a heavy occupant it is to be assessed
whether or not two qualified people should move the bed, this is
dependent on the situation and load on the bed.

• If the bed is to be pushed up / down a slope it is to be assessed

Warning

Caution

whether or not two qualified people should move the bed, with
one person at each end.

• Care is to be taken when pushing the bed over thresholds.

• Do not use the side rails to move the bed – Risk of product
damage.

21

9.5 Side Rails & Mattresses

The Innov8 Low can be specified with two types of cantilever side rails (high & low);
this is to provide the optimum mattress / side rail combination for both foam and air
mattresses of varying thickness. When specifying a mattress and side rail combination
a clinical assessment of the patient’s needs must be carried out in line with the local
policy.

Side rails must only be used with a mattress of the correct size and type
that is approved for use with the Innov8 Low bed – Incorrect mattress

Warning

9.6 Side Rail Safety

The side rails available for the Innov8 Low are product specific, no other side rail is to
be used with the bed. Drive DeVilbiss Healthcare does not recommend the use of the
Innov8 Low side rails (and bed) when caring for individuals who are less than 146cm
in length, due to the potential risk of entrapment - It is the equipment provider’s
responsibility to ensure suitability for use.

Warning

specification can lead to an entrapment and / or falls hazard.

• Whilst every care has been taken to ensure that the design of the
Innov8 Low side rails meet the relevant safety standards, beds
fitted with side rails can still pose a potential risk of death from
entrapment and asphyxiation.

• A risk assessment is to be carried out to consider the age, mental
and physiological condition and size of the patient to assess side
rail suitability.

• All staff responsible for the purchase, selection for use, and
adjusting of bed side rails should be aware of the potential risk of
entrapment and asphyxiation when a bed is occupied.

• Care must be taken when positioning and adjusting side rails to
ensure that any spaces between the side rails, mattress or bed
frame do not allow entrapment of the occupant’s head or body.

• All staff responsible are to be aware that increased vigilance is
required when nursing patients in beds fitted with side rails.

• Side rails are not designed to act as restraints for patients.

• When side rails are to be used as a moving and positioning aid a
risk assessment is to be performed to assess the suitability of the
patient using the side rail as such.

• If forces beyond those expected during normal use are inflicted on
the side rail permanent deformation could occur, increasing the
risk of patient entrapment.

22

9.7 Operating the Side Rails

When operating the side rails ensure they are free from obstructions,
to prevent injury/entrapment.

Warning

To Lower:

Hold the top rail and pull out the release plunger. Gently lower the side rail towards
the foot end of the bed.

To Raise:

Hold the top rail and lift the side rail until it locks into the vertical position.

Ensure the side rail release plunger is fully engaged when the side rails
are in the raised position.

Warning

When lowering do not drop the side rail – Risk of product damage.

Caution

23

9.8 Bed Extension

The bed has an integral bed extension which allows the bed to be adjusted in length,
according to the patient’s needs. The length extension is typically for patients who
exceed 185cm in length and gives the bed compatibility with patients up to 205cm.

The length extension is only used for those individuals who require
it due to their physical height requirements, it is not to be kept in
the extended position as the default for all occupants. A patient risk

Warning

To extend the bed:

• If the bed is in tilt the platform must be levelled first (see section 9.12.8).

• Pull out the spring loaded plunger located on the side of the bed near the foot end
and, whilst holding it out, rotate it by a quarter turn (the plunger should stay out).
Repeat for the plunger on the opposite side of the bed.

• Pull out the mattress platform extension to its maximum extent.

• Rotate the spring loaded plungers until they lock back into position.

assessment must be performed to assess the need for the extension.

24

• Pull out the leg extension to its maximum extent.

• If previously removed replace the bed end.

To retract the bed extension:

• Push the leg extension in.

• Pull out the spring loaded plunger located on the side of the bed near the foot end
and, whilst holding it out, rotate it by a quarter turn (the plunger should stay out).

Note: The platform will not level itself or change height when the manual handles
are pulled, this function is only available with the electrical CPR function (see section

9.12.10)

The backrest may fall quickly, ensure that limbs and equipment are clear.

Warning

Do not use the CPR handle as the default method for lowering the
backrest – Risk of product damage.

Caution

26

9.10 Bed Ends

The bed has plastic end panels which are easily removable, allowing for fast patient
access. To remove, hold the panel with both hands and lift squarely.

The head and foot end panels are of different heights, the foot panel is shorter and
can be identified by the small foot motif on one side of the panel and must always be
placed at the foot end of the bed.

9.11 Mattress Panels

The mattress panels are held onto the tubular frame of the bed with loose fitting clips.
A light force should be used to fit and remove the panels.

foot end of the bed by clipping it over the bed end panel, keeping
it out of reach of the bed occupant.

• Engage the lockout function if a patient could be injured due to
inadvertent motion of the mattress platform.

• Before lowering the bed ensure nobody is in close proximity to
the underside of the bed frame – Risk of crushing.

• Before profiling the platform ensure limbs are clear of the side
rails – Risk of injury.

• If the bed is continuously used for an extended period of time
and it exceeds the duty cycle the control box and/or lift actuators
may become temporarily disabled or irreparably damaged. If this
occurs remove the power supply from the wall and allow system
to rest for 20-30 minutes before attempting to re-operate.

• Ensure equipment and objects are clear of the base before
lowering – Risk of product damage.

When a function is locked out on the carer handset,
the patient handset will have the corresponding
function locked out.

Warning

Lockout all relevant functions if a patient could be injured due to
inadvertent motion of the mattress platform.

30

9.12.4 Platform Height

The platform height button allows adjustment of the mattress
platform height.

The carer handset can be used to lower the mattress platform
to a lower height than can be achieved using the patient handset.

When the bed reaches a height of 420mm, a single auditory
signal will sound and the platform speed will slow to signify
to the carer that the bed is being operated in the low height
region and care should be taken to ensure that no equipment is
placed under the bed.

Note: The patient handset is only able to lower the bed to a height of 420mm. This
means that the patient is not able to operate the bed in the low zone.

• Before lowering the bed ensure nobody is in close proximity to
the underside of the bed frame, especially when travelling below
420mm – Risk of crushing.

Warning

Caution

• To reduce the risk of injury due to falls it is advised that the bed is
left in its lowest position when the patient is unattended.

If the bed is to be used with a hoist, ensure that the clearance under
the bed is sufficient during the required range of bed motion; there is
a risk of collision between the bed lifting mechanism and the hoist legs.

9.12.5 Backrest

Ensure limbs and equipment are kept free from the space under the
backrest before lowering – Risk of crushing. Any obstructions preventing
the backrest from lowering will bear the weight of the backrest, mattress,

Warning

and patient (if present) until removed from under the section.

The backrest button on the carer handset allows adjustment of
the backrest angle.

The backrest actuator is fitted with an anti-entrapment
mechanism and will stop lowering if it hits an obstruction. Once
the obstruction is removed, the backrest will lower again under
its own weight.

31

9.12.6 Leg Section

The leg section button on the carer handset allows adjustment
of the leg section. When the function on the handset is operated
the height or angle of the section is adjusted, depending on
whether or not the leg stay bar is engaged.

In normal use the leg section operates in angle adjustment
mode where the thigh and calf sections angle upwards as the
function is operated, as depicted by the graphic on the button.
However the operation of the leg section is dependent on
whether the leg stay bar is engaged and can be set so that the
foot section rises parallel to the platform.

Setting the bed so that leg section height adjustment operates:

• Press the leg section button on the carer handset and raise to maximum height.

• Lift the leg section manually.

• Lift the leg stay bar.

• Position the leg stay bar into the channel under the foot section.

• The calf section will now lift as the function is driven up.

To disengage the leg stay bar, raise the foot section to its maximum height using the

To minimise the risk of injury, before attempting to lift the calf section
either:

• Ensure there is no load on the section, or

Warning

Caution

9.12.7 Auto Contour

9.12.8 Tilt

• Support the calf section with a second able bodied person.

The leg section is only to be used for the lifting of a patient’s legs – Any
other use may damage the bed frame.

When the auto contour button is pressed both the backrest
and knee break functions operate together.

Note: If the backrest or knee break are locked out this will
automatically disable the auto contour function.

Head down tilt (Trendelenburg) and foot down tilt can be
applied using the carer handset.

Warning

Caution

When in tilt, in order to level the bed the opposite direction
button is pressed and held until the bed stops, the platform will
now be level.

To continue tilting the bed in the opposite direction, re-press
the same direction button again and hold until the desired angle
is reached.

Never leave a patient unattended when the bed is in head down tilt
(Trendelenburg).

When the bed is put into head down tilt ensure there is sufficient
space behind the bed to ensure the head board and / or any ancillary
equipment cannot clash with the wall.

9.12.9 Cardiac Chair

Green lights:

Function active

9.12.10 Electrical CPR

Pressing the CPR button automatically levels, flattens and
lowers the platform. Once the platform is at minimum patient
operating height (420mm) it then drives up to maximum
height, allowing the carer to stop it at any point that is suitable
to perform CPR. Regardless of position the backrest always
lowers first, so that it is flat in the quickest possible time.

Pressing the CPR function overrides all locked out functions and is only
to be used in emergency situations, so as to avoid operating a previously
locked out function.

Warning

The bed can be automatically profiled into a cardiac chair
position, where the platform is automatically profiled into
the auto contour and foot down tilt positions together. This
allows for a comfortable seated position for the patient whilst
remaining in the bed.

When the auto contour and tilt buttons are pressed within 5
seconds of each other the cardiac chair function is activated,
allowing the platform to be profiled using the raise button.

Note: The mechanical CPR function will flatten the backrest quicker than the electrical
CPR, but it will not level the platform or lower the leg section.

34

9.12.11 Mains Power Indicator

The carer handset has an amber mains power light in the upper
left corner. When illuminated it signifies that the bed is plugged
in and operating on mains power. If it is not illuminated the bed
is either unplugged or has a fault.

• The mains plug is the disconnect device for the means of isolating
the bed from the mains supply, the plug must be accessible at all
times.

• Ensure the mains cable is plugged into an appropriate power source

Warning

9.12.12 Battery Indicator

at all times.

• To avoid the risk of an electric shock, this equipment must only be
connected to a supply mains with protective earth.

The carer handset has a battery light that shows when the
battery is charging. Note, the light does not indicate when the
bed is being run off battery power or indicate the remaining
battery charge.

When the battery charge is low an audible indicator will sound
whenever a function is operated, the bed should be plugged
into a mains supply as soon as is practical.

Caution

• The bed is not designed to run off battery power for long periods
and should always be plugged into the mains supply during normal
use.

• Allowing the battery to discharge fully may impair performance or
shorten its usable life.

35

9.12.13 Patient Handset

• Ensure a risk assessment is undertaken to ensure the suitability of
the occupant or a visitor using the patient handset.

• The patient handset cable must also be considered in regards to
the risk of accidental strangulation of the bed occupant – If the

Warning

cable introduces an unacceptable risk it is recommended that the
handset and cable are moved out of reach.

The patient handset is designed to give limited control to the patient. It allows control
of the backrest, knee break and mattress platform height.

The mattress platform height can only be adjusted between 420mm and 710mm
using the patient handset, to reduce the risk of crushing or colliding with equipment
underneath the bedframe. If the bed is to be lowered below the minimum patient
operating height it must be done so by the carer, using the carer handset.

The patient may raise the bed out of the lowest position (below 420mm) if required,
however the handset will not allow them to re-lower the bed below minimum patient
operating height.

If the mattress platform is in a tilted position the patient is able to level the platform
using the platform height function. If this is not desired, the carer must lock out the tilt
function on the carer handset in order for the bed to remain at a set angle.

Note: If functions have been locked out on the carer handset the same functions will
be locked out on the patient handset.

The patient handset allows control of:

Backrest angle

Platform height (Patient operating zone: 420mm to 710mm)

Auto contour (backrest and knee break profiled together)

Note: If functions have been locked out on the nurse
control panel the same functions will be locked out on
the patient handset.

10. ADDITIONAL FEATURES

10.1 Equipotential Stud

The Innov8 Low is fitted with an
equipotential stud to allow the
connection of electrical items such that
they are of the same electrical potential.
This can reduce the risk of electrical
discharge between two pieces of
electrical equipment.

Equipotential Stud

In certain situations the electrical potential of all unprotected metal parts must be
equalised. If the bed is not connected to the mains, resulting in a grounded connection
being unavailable, an equipotential cable (using 2 POAG-KBT6DIN connectors) must
be connected to the studs between the bed and relevant device. Please contact the
Drive DeVilbiss Healthcare customer service team for details of the necessary cable.

Only items that have been inspected by a trained electrical professional,
and under their advice, should be connected to the Innov8 Low.

Warning

13. DISPOSAL OF PARTS & ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS

When the bed is unpacked for the first time the wooden packing boards are to be
returned to the original provider or Drive DeVilbiss Healthcare Ltd. (see section

2) who will reuse the packaging where possible or if not viable will dispose of the
parts in an environmentally responsible manner. If the parts are not returned it is the
responsibility of the customer to follow local recycling policy in regards to the disposal
of wood.

When the bed frame / electrical system has come to the end of its useful life contact
your provider or Drive DeVilbiss Healthcare Ltd. (see section 2) to arrange for
collection, alternatively follow local recycling and W.E.E.E. (Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment) policies.

The electrical system on the bed frame is not to be disposed of in general municipal
waste. Some of the electrical components could be harmful to the environment and
where viable the components can be recovered and reused / recycled.

The steel and plastic components are also to be separated and disposed of following
the local recycling policy as these can also be recovered and recycled.

The bed is to be decontaminated before disposal to avoid risk of cross
contamination.

Warning

44

14. ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (EMC)

The bed’s electrical system has been designed to meet the EMC requirements of IEC
60601-1-2 however it may still be affected by or emit harmful radio frequency (RF)
energy. The RF emissions from the electrical system are very low and are not likely
to cause any interference to nearby electronic equipment, however interference to
sensitive equipment is still possible. Likewise if the immunity limits of the electrical
system are exceeded the system may be seen to operate abnormally.

Interference can be received from fixed transmitters (e.g. commercial radio and
television towers) and portable / mobile RF communications equipment (e.g. mobile
phones). Due to the increasing number of mobile phones and other wireless devices
the possibilities of interference to the electrical system and other surrounding
equipment results in the need for special precautions to be taken regarding EMC.

If the bed or any alternative equipment is found to be operating abnormally turn off
the piece of equipment that is believed to be causing the interference (if possible) to
identify the source of the RF energy. Once identified mitigation measures are to be
taken, such as the separation distances being increased and/or the device(s) being re­orientated.

The bed is to be installed and put into service according to the information provided
within this section to ensure of reliable operation, however if the bed continues to
operate abnormally turn off at the mains supply and contact Drive DeVilbiss Healthcare
Ltd. or your local distributor (see section 2).

Warning

The bed frame should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other
equipment where possible, if adjacent or stacked use is necessary the
bed should be observed to verify normal electrical operation in the
configuration in which it is to be used.
