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 require on new care or hospital beds based on your previous experiences.

You clearly had good reasons to choose Völker care beds.

We promise you that Völker beds will not disappoint you.

Not for nothing do Völker beds enjoy a worldwide reputation as particularly innovative medical aids. 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 the reduce the load of daily care work.

Now, every care or hospital bed has product features that are of practical benefit to their users. However, as far as we know, none of them offers the range of advantages that a Völker bed does.

Völker beds not only look great, but they also offer functions that can be controlled or adjusted mechanically, although most of them are controlled or adjusted using electric motors or electronic components.

If you purchase 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.

We wish you every success with Völker beds,

yours Völker GmbH

Intended use

Völker bed models 3082 Vis-a-Vis and 3082 K Vis-a-Vis are beds for medical use and are intended for the laying down and care of occupants/patients in care institutions, hospitals and in suitable rooms in residential buildings.

The bed is intended for use by people over the age of 12 or who are taller than 146 cm.

The bed's safe working load is 250 kg. To calculate the max. occupant/patient weight, 20 kg for the weight of the mattress and 45 kg for accessories as well as the load borne by the accessories must be subtracted from the safe working load in accordance with DIN EN 60601-2-52:2010 when using the bed in application environments 1 and 2 (intensive and acute care).

If using the bed in application environments 3, 4 and 5 (long-term, home and outpatient care), the values to be considered for the mattress are 20 kg and 15 kg for accessories as well as the load borne by the accessories.

The maximum occupant/patient weight			Any use of the Völker bed other than

Notes | General regulations, user training / instruction, further requirements

General regulations

The bed must only be operated and used in accordance with its designated purpose, in line with the conditions of the Medical Products Directive (MPG) and approved legislation pursuant to this, the generally-acknowledged rules of technology and the stipulations of occupational safety and accident protection 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 (Medical Products Directive).

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 hand over the hand 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 care beds in recent years. Völker has addressed this topic by increasing the "safe working load" for the beds.

However, not only the beds are exposed to higher levels of strain, but also static and also flooring. Therefore, we recommend that flooring in areas where the beds are used which is designed for this strain. These are floor coverings classified as at least class 32 or 33 in accordance with DIN EN 685 and properly laid. These are floor coverings for areas intended for public and industrial use with moderate or heavy traffic.

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.

•Ensure that the side rails (or parts thereof) are either fully raised and locked in position or completely lowered.

•It must be ensured that the occupant/patient does not come into contact with the side rail elements when the electrical lying surface adjustment mechanism is actuated. It is also important to ensure that no part of the body is sticking out through the side rails.

•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. In addition, it is strongly recommended that side rail covers are used.

•DANGER If these safety measures 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. In children or people who are less than 146 cm tall, non-observance of these guidelines can lead to death!

WARNING "Danger of injury"

If the side rails are damaged, the bed must not be used and must be repaired.

V1.4 (12.04.2012)

Functional description | Accessories 2/2

DANGER The height of the raised side rails above the mattress must always be greater than or equal to 220 mm; otherwise the occupant/patient may accidentally fall out of bed.

Please note that the height of the mattress has a direct influence on this.

≥ 220 mm!

Use of securing systems

Securing systems such as belts or straps should only be used exactly as specified by the manufacturer.

If securing systems in the form of abdominal belts are used, then it must be ensured that the side rails are completely raised. In this case, the gap in the middle of the rails must be closed using a rail spacer.

DANGER When using securing systems and rail spacers, please note the separate instructions for use pertaining to these accessories.

If the patient is restrained with the help of restraint holders, the lying surfaces must never be adjusted while the patient is restrained and must always be in the lowest position!

The lying surface adjustment functions must be locked when a patient is secured, and the hand control must be kept out of the occupant's/patient's reach!

Restraints may be fastened directly onto beds built after 08/2009.

To do this, fasten the restraints on the corresponding longitudinal section of the lying surface frame. Make sure that the restraint is passed between the mattress holder and the mattress.

Activation | General operating instructions

On-time

The maximum on-time for the electromotive bed functions is specified on the bed (type label  72) or in the technical data sheet.

4 min/10 min means that each electromotive adjustment may be operated for a maximum of 4 minutes followed by a pause of 10 minutes (protection against overheating).

NOTE Should the maximum ontime of 4 minutes be exceeded repeatedly or for longer periods, safety cut-out devices on the bed may cause the electromechanical motor system to shut down. The bed must not be manoeuvred using the motors until it has cooled down sufficiently!

Battery pack

The battery pack integrated into the double drive has a charge capacity that is equivalent in theory to a constant operation of at least 15 lifting and lying surface adjustments with a working load of 250 kg.

NOTE If the bed is parked at its location and the mains plug is not connected, this will cause the battery pack to discharge due to the buffering of the electronic components!

Deep-discharged battery packs can be damaged to the extent that premature replacement is needed!

To increase the stand-by time, it is recommended to activate the reset button on the housing when storing the bed and to disconnect the bed from the mains. The bed should not be stored for a period longer than 6 months with a fully charged battery pack without recharging it.

Appropriate and correct use of the battery pack is essential for it to have a long service life!

In order to guarantee electrical functionality at all times, the bed should be connected to the mains as much as possible.

Safety cut-out device

The bed is equipped with an electrical, self-resetting safety cut-out device that prevents overloading of the motor systems. In the event of very severe overloading, the bed is automatically switched off.

Activation | Preparation 1/2

Conditions for set-up

The bed is only approved for use in dry rooms (technical data sheet). A mains power supply and possibly an earth connection are required for operation of the bed in any suitable room. When this is available and the building installation permits it, the bed should always be connected to the potential equalisation.

Mechanical activation

The supplied head and foot sections must be slotted into the corner connectors on the bed frame (only for model 3082 K Vis-a-Vis).

Check that the cross end stop can be moved freely and has not become jammed during transport.

Hand control connection

The hand control should be connected to the socket provided, where appropriate. The spiral cable must be routed so that it is not under tension.
