Foreword
We are delighted that you have chosen
Völker beds.
We are also grateful for the trust you
have placed in our company and our
products.
This step is undoubtedly the result of
extensive considerations and examinations of the requirements that you have
placed on new care or hospital beds
based on your previous experiences.
You clearly have good reasons to
choose a Völker bed.
We promise you: Völker beds will not
disappoint you.
Völker beds do not carry a worldwide
reputation as highly innovative medical
aids without good reason.
This refers not only to the design principle, which was completely redeveloped
by Völker. It also refers to the multitude
of product advantages which were
continually tested and improved for
their practicality. These will support the
comfort of the occupant/patient and also
help reduce the load of daily care work.
We kept a modern design and effective
functionality in mind when developing
Völker beds.
The beds are designed with a pleasant
hotel look. The electronics allow com-
fortable adjustment of the bed using
quiet motors.
Having purchased these beds, the responsibility for their correct and appropriate use is transferred to you. Consequently, we strongly advise that you
consult the enclosed instructions for use
to learn about the technical features,
handling and use of all the functions.

Intended use
The Völker beds 5384 Kepler are beds
for medical use and are intended for the
laying down and care of adult occupants/patients in care institutions and
retirement homes (Application environment 3 as per DIN EN 60601-2-52).
The application environment 3 involves
long-term care in a medical sector in
which medical surveillance is required
and supervision is provided if necessary. This includes retirement and
nursing homes, rehabilitation facilities
and geriatric facilities.
The bed is intended for use by people
over 12 years of age and with a height
of 146 cm to 185 cm, as well as a body
weight of 40 kg to 195 kg. Their Body
Mass Index (BMI) must be over 17.
The Body Mass Index is an index value
derived from body weight and height.
The BMI is calculated from the formula:
Body weight kg
BMI =
Height2
≥ 40 kg
≥ 146 cm
BMI ≥
m2
The safe working load of the bed is
230 kg. To calculate the maximum patient weight, DIN EN 60601-2-52:2010
stipulates subtracting from the safe
working load, when using the bed in
application environment 3, 20 kg for the
weight of the mattress and 15 kg for
accessories as well as the load that is
borne by the accessories.
Any use of the Völker bed extending
beyond this intended use is excluded
from a potential liability.
The safe working load and the maximum patient weight can be taken from
the following table:

Notes | Designated purpose 2/2
Inappropriate use
Inappropriate use can be dangerous.
This includes, but is not limited to:
• Incorrect actuation of electrical functions and uncontrolled positioning
• Operation of the bed by the occupant/
patient without having received prior
instruction in how to do so
• Use of other electrical equipment on
the bed
• Pulling on cables to move the bed
• Removing electrical plug connections
by pulling on the cable
• Use of the bed on a slope of more
than six degrees of inclination (the
bed's brakes are designed for an angle of inclination of no more than ten
degrees)
• Any attempt to move the bed while it
is in braked position
• Use of the bed to transport people
• Use of the bed for transport within a
vehicle
• Overloading of the bed beyond the
specified safe working load
CAUTION The bed may not be
used for patients/occupants under
12 years of age or who are less
than 146 cm tall.
WARNING The bed may not be
placed right next to or stacked up
with other equipment. Should the
operation be near to or stacked
up with other equipment be necessary, then it must be ensured
that the operation of the bed is
observed, and correct use in
this arrangement is checked.

Notes | General regulations, user training / instruction, further requirements
General Requirements
The bed must only be operated and
used in accordance with its designated
purpose, in line with the applicable
conditions, the generally acknowledged
rules of technology and the occupational safety and accident prevention
guidelines. The bed must not be operated in a faulty state that could endanger its occupant/patient, care personnel
or third parties.
User training
The bed may only be operated by individuals whose training or understanding
and experience offer surety for correct
handling.
User instruction
The thorough induction of care personnel in the operation of the bed can be
provided by Völker or its representatives
at the customer's request.
Attendance of such training can be certified and confirmed by Völker using the
form provided for this purpose, specifying the name, date and signature.
Occupants/patients must be instructed
in the use of the bed before care personnel can hand over control to them.
Other requirements
Whoever is in charge of the activation,
operation or preparation of the bed
must have been given a copy of these
instructions for use (in printed or electronic form) and have read them.
To avoid operating errors and to safeguard the smooth operation of the
bed, care personnel must always have
access to the safety notes below.
Flooring requirements
Increasingly overweight patients and
occupants have caused a consistent
increase in demands on hospital and
healthcare beds in recent years. Völker
has addressed this topic by increasing
the "safe working load" for the beds.
The higher strain requirements are not
limited to beds only, they apply also to
static and floor requirements.
We therefore recommend using flooring
that is designed for these strains in
areas where the beds are used. This is
flooring which is classified and properly
laid according to DIN EN 685 minimum
class 32 or 33. This is flooring for areas
intended for public and industrial use
with moderate or heavy traffic.
Floors corresponding to the above
classifications can be marked with the
following logo:

Warning symbols
Information marked with this
symbol must always be read
and strictly observed.
CAUTION represents potential-
ly dangerous situations that can
cause slight physical injuries.
DANGER represents an immediate
threat of danger that will cause
serious physical injury or death.
WARNING represents potentially
dangerous situations that can lead
to serious physical injury or death.
NOTE warns of potential damage
to objects or property.
Before first activation
Care personnel must read these instructions for use carefully and in full before
the bed is activated for the first time.
Before the bed is activated, care personnel must be instructed in the handling of the bed using the instructions
for use. In addition, the potential risks
which may arise despite the proper operation of the bed must also be pointed
out in full.
Before and during use
Before each use of the bed, the user
must be sure that the bed is in a proper
condition and that safe use is ensured
(Functional check 71).
WARNING If other devices are
operated on the bed, which are
provided with cables, air hoses or
similar, make sure that these lines
are routed so that they cannot
become jammed in the moving
parts of the bed or be damaged.
Position of the beds
CAUTION To avoid injuries
caused by falling, we recommend
(except while care is being given)
that the bed is generally set at its
lowest position with the guide
castors fixed when the patient is
asleep in the bed.

Notes | General safety notes 2/4
Transporting the bed
CAUTION The bed is not designed
for transporting people. When
moving the bed, it must always be
ensured that the main connection
cable does not touch the ground
and that the lying surface height is
at least 35 cm.
The bed should only be moved
over a solid surface.
Never attempt to push it over obstacles of over 1 cm in height.
The maximum angle of inclination
of the floor must not exceed 6°.
Securing the bed
CAUTION "Risk of accident"
If the bed is not moved, the guide
castors must always be fixed and
latched into place, if necessary,
since the bed may be required as
a support for when the occupant/
patient stands up or lies down. If
the bed rolls away without the castors being braked, this can lead to a
serious fall.
Once the castors have been
applied, check that the bed is
actually properly parked.
The bed sometimes finds itself
in an unbraked position after
each activation or reactivation
and must therefore be checked
subsequently to ensure the
castors are fixed properly.
NOTE Please note that the brakes
are most effective only on dry,
clean and slip-resistant flooring.
One-sided load on the bed
NOTE In order to prevent one-sid-
ed loads on the bed, it must
not be used as a seat for persons other than the occupant/
patient (i.e. visitors must not
sit on the edge of the bed).
Side rails
WARNING "Risk of entrapment"
In the case of occupants/patients
whose physical or mental condition
makes it necessary to use side
rails to protect them from falling
out of bed, the following safety
measures must be observed:
• The legal permissibility of using
side rails must be ascertained.
• The side rails may only be
operated by trained care
personnel.
• It must be ensured that the
occupant/patient does not come
into contact with the side rail

elements upon activation of the
electrical lying surface adjustment.
It is also important to ensure that
no part of the body is sticking out
through the side rails.
• Ensure that the side rails
(or parts thereof) are either
fully raised and locked in
position or completely lowered.
• If the side rails are used with
a person whose psychological
condition makes their use
necessary, then it must be
ensured that the hand control
is kept out of his/her reach or
its functions are locked. It is also
strongly recommended that
side rail protection covers
are used.
DANGER If these safety meas-
ures are not observed by care
personnel, injuries can be caused
to hands, knees, fingers, feet, legs
and hips, along with haematomas
and other injuries as a result of
entrapment.
With children or people who
are less than 146 cm tall, nonobservance of these guidelines can lead to death!
Height adjustment
DANGER "Risk of entrapment
between the lower frame and/or
floor and the bed frame when the
bed is lowered"
It must be ensured that no people, limbs, pets, bed linen or other
objects are caught between the
bed frame and the lower frame
and/or floor during adjustment.
DANGER "Danger of movement"
If any movement of the bed could
represent a danger to the occupant
/patient, all functions must be
locked.
Accessories
WARNING
"Risk of injury"
Only original Völker accessories
should be used! Third-party
accessories must undergo testing
by the operator before use.
Use of lifting devices
The lifting devices specified are
appliances that can be attached to the
bed for transport purposes. Patient
lifters can be used.
WARNING "Risk of injury"
No lifting device must be fastened
directly to the bed (patient trans-
port, repair).

Notes | General safety notes 4/4
Use of oxygen equipment
DANGER "Risk of fire"
Do not use any oxygen equipment
other than that which is administered via nasal prongs or masks.
Never use the bed in an oxygen
tent or in potentially explosive
atmospheres (where flammable
gases or vapours are present).
Provided it has been excluded (e.g.
based on information in the instructions
for use of the equipment being used)
that the use of the equipment or a fault
may cause the O2 concentration to rise
to such a degree that there is an explosion risk, then the equipment can be
used.
Rail infill panels
When using the rail infill panel, please
read the separate instructions for use
for this accessory. During technical
checks, the rail infill panels should also
be checked to ensure they are suitable
for the size of side rail used.
Cleaning and disinfection
In order to maintain consistent functioning, the bed should be cleaned, disinfected and tested as soon as possible
following each use, so that it can be
reused immediately without risk.
Incorrect cleaning/disinfection of the
bed can cause danger.
Maintenance and repair
Anyone responsible for carrying out
maintenance and repair work must at
least have received instruction from
Völker in the service tools, have read
the safety notes and the service manual
and be qualified in accordance with the
law on medical products § 4.
After maintenance work or repairs have
been carried out, a technical check
must be carried out on the affected
parts and/or functions 71.
During this check, it must be determined
whether the bed can be used in accordance with the specifications without risk to
the occupant/patient, user or a third party.
A technical check must be carried out
at least once a year and after every
lengthy period of non-use.
Any discernible damage, such as
signs of wear and tear, loose screws
or breaks/fractures must be eliminated
immediately.
Electromagnetic and
electrostatic interferences
The beds in model series 5384 Kepler
satisfy the EMC* requirements in accordance with the law on medical products
(MPG). The basis for testing is standard
EN 60601-1-2.
* Law concerning the Electromagnetic
Compatibility of Operating Equipment

MiS® lying surface
Völker MiS® is a support system where
the different elements register and
promote the occupant‘s/patient‘s own
movement.
Thanks to the large number of contact
points, the occupant/patient is supported in an anatomically correct manner, which also has a positive influence
on sleeping behavior.
HPL lying surface
The four-part HPL lying surface (HPL =
high-pressure laminate) consists of
moisture-resistant high-pressure laminate.
The four elements are well ventilated
via the round cut-outs, are individually
removable and fulfil the highest hygienic
requirements.
The HPL lying surfaces can be easily
removed and can therefore be cleaned
quickly and thoroughly. They also facilitate the use of therapy mattresses.
Dynamic bed extension
The Select model can be equipped with
a telescopic bed extension.
Extension: approx. 28 cm.
An additional mattress extension
(PA2215) must be used when using the
dynamic bed extension.
Battery
A battery is available for both bed
models as an option.
The battery allows the bed to be operated independent of the power supply for
at least two adjustment cycles under full
load.
Variants divided sidesails
Select model is available with the following siderail variants:
Extendable 34 - 35,5* cm (standard)
Extendable 43,5 - 45* cm (option)
* Dimensions are from the upper edge of the side
rail to the lying surface (without mattress). The
different extension heights are dependent on the
lying surface (HPL or MiS®), see also p. 86 - 87.
