Cleaning, disinfection

In order to maintain the functionality of the bed,
the bed should be cleaned, disinfected and tested

• at regular intervals,

• as required,

• after each occupant/patient change,

• according to the guidelines of the relevant hy­giene plan,

so that it can be reused immediately without risk.
Incorrect cleaning/disinfection of the bed can
cause danger.

The detergents used must contain one of the fol­lowing ingredients:

• Quaternary ammonium compounds

• Hydrogen peroxide

• Peroxides

Please observe the information provided by
the detergent manufacturer. Failure to observe
these instructions can lead to personal injury
or material damage.

WARNING

"Risk of electric shock / fire and
functional failure"

The bed must always be disconnected
from the power supply before cleaning
and disinfection.

Cleaning

Depending on the degree of soiling, we recom­mend cleaning the bed with a damp cloth or sim­ilar. A soft brush can also be used for stubborn
dirt or stains. Do not get the bed too wet whilst
cleaning.

Wipe disinfection

The dilution ratio specied by the detergent man­ufacturer in the corresponding instructions for
use must be used.

NOTE Solvents are not permitted.

• Grinding agents, scouring pads or other
dulling substances must not be used.

• Organic solvents such as halogenated / aro­matic hydrocarbons and ketones must not be
used.

The following instructions must be observed
when using cleaning and disinfecting agents:

• As a general rule, the working solutions should
be freshly prepared.

• The concentrations used should be neither
higher nor lower than those indicated. The
so-called "shot" method should not be used
under any circumstances. Under no circum­stances should someone using a disinfectant
follow their own judgement in adding a clean­ing agent such as soap or washing-active sub­stances (leads to soap failure).

• There is a risk of re or explosion from alco­holic spray disinfectants when these are used
over large areas.

• Detergents must not contain any corrosive or
irritant components.

• They must not contain any substances that
change the surface structure or gripping prop­erties of the materials.

•

Lubricants must not be affected

• The pH value of the water must be no higher
or lower than 6 - 8.

• Water should not exceed a total water hard­ness of 0.9 mmol/l (corresponding to 5°dH).

The specications we have issued, do not absolve

the user of the obligation to carry out his or her
own checks and tests, since the ratios (e.g. water
hardness) can vary depending on the geograph­ical location. It is therefore impossible to offer
legally binding assurance of certain properties.

.

The plugs of the cables and the sockets of the
control box are only protected against splash
water when plugged together and with the cover
(securing clamp) provided.

• Prevent water and detergents from getting into
unused connections.

• Labels and markings may not be brushed or
cleaned with high pressure.

• Dry the bed with special care and test it before
reuse.

• Stubborn dirt or stains should be soaked be­fore cleaning (please check beforehand).

Spray lances and automatic washing systems

WARNING Cleaning and disinfection

using spray lances from high-pressure
cleaning equipment and in automatic bed
washing systems is not permissible.

If unsuitable washing and disinfecting agents are
used, if the mixing ratio is incorrect or if the beds
are not adequately cared for, damage can occur
to the surface coating for which Völker GmbH is
not liable.

Cleaning the hand controls

To avoid so-called "cross-contamination" bet­ween the occupant/patient and nursing staff, the
hand controls must be cleaned daily!

Continuous side rails, style model

Raising the side rails

To raise the side rails, take hold of the top rail and lift it rst at the head end

and then at the foot end until the rail audibly engages (1, 2).

Lowering the side rails

Starting at the foot end, take hold of the top rail and lift it slightly. Press the
button on the side and lower the side rail at the foot end by hand. Repeat
at the head end (3).

To prevent the patient from falling out, the continuous side rails must always

be raised at the head end rst and always lowered again rst at the foot

end! (4)

1 2 3

Divided side rails, select model

Raising the side rails

Pull the side rail out horizontally until the end stop, and raise it upwards (1).
To adjust the height of the side rail, pull the telescopic section upwards until

it reaches its end stop (2).

Lowering the side rails

Press both buttons on the outside of the frame at the same time to bring the

1 2 3 4

height-adjustable side rail to its lowest position (3).

Press the "Drücken / Press" trigger at the lower edge of the side rail and tilt

it sideways into a horizontal position, so that it lies parallel to the oor. Push

the side rail completely underneath the lying surface (4).

When using the raised side rails 43.5 - 45 cm, the mattress holder must be
folded in or out.

Rail inll panels

The rail inll panels close the middle gap between the divided side rails on

Völker beds so as to enable a continuous side rail solution.

NOTE Please observe the detailed instructions for use for the rail infill

panels.

The rail infill panels are inserted in the insertion sleeves of the upper leg
section.

WARNING Make sure that the side rails are fully set up and latched

into place. When activating the electric lying surface adjustment
or side rails, it must be ensured that the patient/occupant is not in
contact with the side rails and that no part of the body is protruding
through the side rails. We strongly recommend that you lock the func­tions of the hand control.

To remove the rail inll panel from

the holder, move the pendulum into
a vertical position and pull the rail

inll panel out upwards at the same

time.

Rapid lowering of the back section / CPR function

Both models of the bed have a mechanical rapid lowering of the back sec­tion for reanimation as standard.

WARNING The CPR function (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation function)

may only be executed in an emergency and only by trained speci­alist personnel!

WARNING The CPR function may not be used instead of the hand

control for lowering the back section!
