Instruction manual for the hospital bed Deka
Minimise, as far as possible, the risk of fire due to external influences.
Instruct users on these points:
Use only flame-retardant mattresses and bedding if possible.
Avoid smoking in bed, since the mattress and bedding used may
not be resistant to smokers' accessories.
Only use additional equipment (e.g. electric blankets) and other
electrical devices (e.g. lamps, radios) that are in perfect working
order!
- Ensure that this equipment is used only for the purpose intended.
- Ensure that this equipment is not unintentionally placed on or
under the bedding (danger of overheating)!
Avoid using extension cables or multiple socket bars under the bed
(risk of fire due to penetrating fluids).
Extension cables and/or multiple socket outlets should not be used
at all.

Instruction manual for the hospital bed Deka _____________________________________________
As a general rule, always apply the brakes when the bed is not
being moved or when a patient is left unattended in the bed.
If individually locking castors are fitted, apply the brakes on each
castor to achieve the maximum brake action and to prevent the
bed from rolling away.
Check to ensure that the bed is properly braked.
Each time before moving the bed, ensure that:
- the cables, tubes or wires of any mounted equipment are
adequately secured and cannot be damaged.
Otherwise the mains cable could sustain damage as a result of
being torn off, crushed or driven over. Such damage could lead to
electrical hazards and malfunctions.
When the bed is moved, ensure that objects hanging in the
universal holder [11] do not cause any damage (e.g. to door
frames).
Risk of crushing! When transporting a patient, ensure that the
patient’s hands and feet do not protrude over the edge of the
bed and that they can not get in the way of the wall deflection
rollers.

4 Operation
4.1 MOVING AND BRAKING THE BED
The bed is equipped with four individually locking castors.
Optional: central castor locking at the foot end. A steering lock can be activated
for one castor at the foot end of the bed, which makes it easier to move the bed
in a straight line and to manoeuvre the bed.
With four individually locking castors
Page 17
Page 18
Instruction manual for the hospital bed Deka
When making any adjustments, always ensure that there are no
limbs in the way that could be trapped in the process.
Heavy patients may cause raised backrests/thigh rests to drop very
quickly after actuating the operating lever!
Do not forcibly raise the backrest and thigh rest even higher if these
are already tilted to a high degree, to prevent the risk of trapping
the patient and causing potential congestion of the blood in the
patient's limbs.
When raising the backrest or thigh rest, the flat backrest/thigh rest
may move upwards very quickly after actuating the operating
lever if there is no load resting on it.
For this reason, always grasp the grab handle [11; 14] on the
backrest or thigh rest with one hand before operating the lever
and "control" the adjustment in this way.
Ensure that no obstacles such as night tables, floor cable ducts or
chairs could impede adjustments to the bed.
Ensure that there are no objects on the undercarriage.

Steering lock
In order to ensure that the bed moves in a
straight line, the bed is equipped with a
steering lock on one of the castors at the
head end of the bed.
Please note: The castors must first be swivelled
in the direction of travel. With this position of
the pedal, the bed can only be manoeuvred
from the foot end once the steering lock has
engaged. The bed is pushed at this end.

- Release the lever when the required mattress base position has been reached.
The mattress base will be held in this position.
- The mattress base can be tilted into the Trendelenburg and anti-
Trendelenburg positions.
- If the mattress base is at a very high setting, it is automatically
lowered if necessary when tilting.
- If the mattress base is at a very low setting, then it may be necessary
to first raise the mattress base before tilting into the antiTrendelenburg position.
A spirit-level is mounted on the inside of the foot section for
easy horizontal adjustment.
The mattress base is in a horizontal position when the air
bubble is located between the two marks.

The maximum loading capacity at the front end of the patient's lifting
pole is 75 kg.
The patient's lifting pole is not suitable for rehabilitation exercises.
Pay attention to door clearances when moving beds with patient’s
lifting poles or I.V. stands attached.
A grab handle (accessory) is normally attached to the patient’s lifting
pole.
See the description provided on the following page.

range
4.3 ATTACHMENTS
4.3.1 Location Sleeves for Patient’s Lifting Pole / I.V. Stands
On the inside of the headboard, there are two sleeves [12] for fixing a patient’s
lifting pole or I.V./drip stands (accessories).
Inserting the patient's lifting pole
Insert the long, straight end of the patient's lifting pole into a sleeve [12].
The metal pin on the patient's lifting pole
must be located in the notch of the sleeve.
This restricts the slewing range of the
patient's lifting pole (see illustration below).
The pole is now facing the centre of the
bed and can swing to the side as far as the
restriction allows.
Removing
Pull the patient’s lifting pole up and out of
the sleeve.
Slewing range of the patient’s lifting pole
If the pole swings outside the bed area and
is loaded there, there is a danger that the
bed will tip when weight is applied to the
pole.
Therefore the metal pin must always sit in
the sleeve recess!

4.3.7 Extending the Mattress Base
The brakes of the bed should be applied.
Loosen the two black locking knobs [5a] under the
mattress base on the left and the right sides of the
bed at the foot end:
o Pull the locking knobs down and give the knobs
a quarter turn in a clockwise or anti-clockwise
direction.
o The knob will now lock in place in this “open
position”.
o Leave the locking knobs in this position for the time
being.
Hold the left and right outer edges of the footboard
with both hands half way up the footboard [1].
Now pull the bed extension out towards you as far as
possible.
Ensure that the bed extension remains in this end position by turning both
locking knobs to the “secure position”.
o To do so, proceed in the same way as when you loosened the knobs.
o Finally, jiggle the footboard until the safety pins on the locking knobs
engage properly. A click is heard when the safety pins are engaged.
o Check that the mattress base is firmly locked in place by pushing the
footboard backwards and forwards.
Inserting the mattress foam insert (accessory)
Place the support base (accessory) from above
into the centre of the space for the extension.
The foam insert restraint (B) on the long side must
face the foot end (F).
The two fixing clips (H) on the metal bars that
extend into the space for the extension must
click into place.
Page 27
Page 28
Instruction manual for the hospital bed Deka
Ensure that the resulting gap is always filled with the corresponding
foam insert.
This effectively prevents the risk that the patient could become
trapped in the bed extension area.
Similar to illustration
Place the mattress foam insert
(accessory) from above into
the centre of the support
base.
You will find a list of
accessories in Chapter 8
showing the different versions
of mattress foam insert that
are available.
Restoring the mattress base to its normal size
Remove the mattress foam insert:
1. The fixing clips for the support base are now visible.
Press them outwards in turn by hand on both sides
of the bed
and
2. Lift the support base out of the space for the
extension.
To shorten the mattress base, follow the steps for extending the base in the
reverse order.

Instruction manual for the hospital bed Deka _____________________________________________
Only use technically perfect, undamaged side guards which
securely engage!
Before using the side guards, assess and take into consideration the
clinical condition and particular physical build of the patient:
o For example, if the patient is extremely confused or very restless,
avoid using side guards as much as possible and make use of
alternative safety measures such as posey belts, restraint sheets,
etc.
o In the case of particularly small, slightly built patients it may be
necessary to use an additional form of protection to reduce the
size of the side rail gaps. In these cases, use protective covers
(accessories), posey belts, etc. This is the only way to ensure
effective protection and reduce the risk of the patient getting
trapped or slipping through the gaps.
Only use suitable mattresses (not too soft) to DIN 13014 with a
volume weight of at least 40 kg/m³ and dimensions complying with
the specifications in the instruction manual for the bed (in the
Chapter "Accessories"), to prevent endangering patients through
trapping or suffocation.
The maximum mattress height depends on the model and the
position of the side guards used. An effective side guard height of at
least 22 cm above the unloaded mattress must be guaranteed.
If elevated patient positioning systems are used (for prevention or
therapy), e.g. mattresses to prevent bedsores, an effective side
guard height of at least 22 mm above the non-occupied mattress
must be guaranteed.
If this dimension is not adhered to, according to the latest safety
standard for beds IEC60601-2-52, the operator must take
additional/alternative measures on his own responsibility and
according to his assessment of the risks in view of the clinical
condition of the patient, such as:
providing additional safety systems for the patient,
arranging for the patient to be monitored regularly,
issuing internal instructions for the users.

These substances can damage the surfaces.
Do not use organic solvents such as halogenated/aromatic
hydrocarbons and ketones.
Do not use acidic cleaning solvents.
Please follow the manufacturer’s dosage advice to avoid
damaging the plastic and metal surfaces!
Ensure that after cleaning/ disinfection no liquid residues remain on
the metallic parts of the bed (avoid drops on the edges).
Otherwise corrosion can not be excluded in these areas in the long
term.
Despite the excellent mechanical resistance, scratches, markings,
etc., which permeate the entire coating should be resealed using
a suitable repair medium to prevent the penetration of moisture.
Please refer to Chapter 6.1.2 for special varnishes which are
suitable for this purpose.
5 Cleaning and Disinfection
For disinfection by wiping, most cleaning and disinfection agents usually used
in hospitals or care facilities, such as cold and hot water, detergents, alkaline
solutions and alcohols, can be used.
These agents may not contain any substances that could change the surface
structure or the adhesive properties of the plastic materials.
The following cleaning agents were successfully tested and approved by us:
Please consult the appropriate manufacturer before using any other agents.
Only alternative agents with an equivalent composition may be used, to
prevent any damage to the bed as a result.
Page 31
Page 32
Instruction manual for the hospital bed Deka
Damage, defects and wear resulting from improper operation and
after long-term use can not be ruled out.
These deficiencies can cause hazards if they are not recognised and
corrected immediately.
Before carrying out any maintenance work, please bear in mind
that in order to make any adjustments the bed must be connected
to the mains supply. Make sure to disconnect the mains plug from
the mains socket when the service works are finished. Also switch
off all the drives using the control panel or blocking box.
If any damage or malfunction is suspected, take the bed out of
service at once until it has been repaired or the damaged
component has been replaced!
