If any damage or a malfunction is suspected, immediately unplug the bed from the mains supply, mark the bed clearly as being “OUT OF ORDER” and take it out of service. Report to the operator immediately.

Make sure that there are no obstacles (eg: bedside lockers, chairs, hoists, wall mounted fixtures, or equipment etc.) which could impede This applies in particular to using the electrical any adjusting or movement of the bed. drives and side rails (if fitted). Human Care strongly advises against the use of side rails as they are known to cause death & injury. INCOMPATIBLE SIDE RAILS CAN CREATE HAZARDS.

IEC 60601 Test Level

Make sure that stand-in or temporary staff are sufficiently well instructed in the safe operation of the bed.

Safety Advice for the Operator: With the aid of this manual, which must be handed over together with the bed, you must ensure that every user is instructed in the safe operation of the bed before it is put into service for the first time. Draw every user’s attention to the possible hazards that can arise if the bed is not used properly.

Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the Protean 3 - P3AU2 Medical Bed is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the Protean 3 - P3AU2 Medical Bed should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re­ orienting or relocating the Protean 3 - P3AU2 Medical Bed.

If the patient is unable to operate the bed safely or free themselves from potentially dangerous positions, they could be placed at risk through inadvertent adjustment of the electrical functions.  It is recommended that children are never left unsupervised in a room with the bed.  Place the handset beyond reach of children or ‘at risk’ patients, to prevent inadvertently initiating power adjustments of the bed. Use the Handset LOCKOUT key to lock movements (page 18). The handset can be placed out of reach, at the foot end. Any adjustments may then only be carried out by or in the presence of a person instructed in the proper operation of the bed.

APPLICATION ENVIRONMENT 2

The Linak Control Box Unit and Battery Backup are located underneath the Head End Cover. They contain a low-voltage, safe 24V transformer. The electric motors/actuators, the battery backup and the handset (24V) are connected to the Control Box and Junction Boxes via dust and moisture-proof plugs and cords/cables. Battery Backup allows for off-mains emergency operation for up to 15 minutes under a normal load (see page 9 ). To ensure long battery life, the bed should be connected to mains power, at all possible times. Do not exceed the duty cycle (see page 5). Electrical protection of wiring and cords will differ between Class 1 (Earthed) and Class 2 (Double Insulation) Beds.

Kneebreak The kneebreak is a double mattress panel that splits as it electronically lifts or bends the patient’s thigh and calf at the knee, thus combining functionality and comfort for both the patient and carer.

Auto-Contour A Handset feature that uses one button to adjust both Backrest & Kneebreak simultaneously, into a cardiac chair position, even when the bed is in it’s lowest height position. Battery Backup The Battery Backup allows for operation of the bed, should mains power fail, or if the bed is being operated temporarily away from mains power. It can operate for up to 15 minutes, under a normal load, Do not exceed the duty cycle (see page 5). To ensure long battery life, the bed should be connected to mains power, at all possible times. If the backup battery becomes flat, raising/ lowering functions will slow down or cease. A replacement should be ordered and fitted. Batteries in good condition will normally recharge in 12 hours or overnight when the bed is plugged back into the mains power supply. Extended periods without mains power will make the batteries unable to be recharged or operate at all. A replacement unit will need to be ordered and fitted.

PUTTING THE BED INTO SERVICE BEFORE PUTTING THIS BED INTO SERVICE FOR THE FIRST TIME 1. Read through this User Manual completely, understanding all operations and functions, (see page 18 Operating The Bed). Pay special attention to all safety issues (see pages 3, 6, & 7), so as to prevent injury to persons, or damage to the bed or environment, due to incorrect operation. 2. Confirm that the electricity supply and the wall power-point/outlet/socket are both compatible with the bed’s voltage requirements and the bed’s mains supply cable plug. This will differ between countries.

Australian Power-Point and Plug

3. Inspect the mains supply cable for perfect condition. Check for any damage in transit. 4. Fully unpack and assemble the bed and attach all accessories (see pages 8-14). 5. Confirm that all cables and cords (eg mainspower supply cable, motor cables and handset cable) are connected and securely routed out of the way of all the bed’s moving parts, so they can not be damaged. Also confirm that there are no obstacles, (e.g. bedside cabinets, chairs, or wall fixtures, etc.) which could impede adjustment of the bed (see pages 3 & 7). 6. Confirm that all nuts, locking bolts, pins and fasteners are fully engaged and correctly tightened. Ensure that the battery is plugged into the control unit. Regular checks are recommended (see the Checklist on page 24). 7. For safety, ensure that all bed wheel castors are locked unless the bed is being moved. 8. Test that the bed and all its accessories (including all adjustment functions) are all fully functioning and in perfect working order (see Handset functions on page 18). 9. Clean and disinfect the bed prior to placing the mattress and any bedding on the bed, for first time use (page 22). 20

PUTTING THIS BED INTO SERVICE FOR THE FIRST TIME 1. Read and follow the previous section, including reading this User Manual, and attending to all safety issues & operation usage. 2. Confirm wheel castors are locked. 3. Ensure clearance for bed movements. Provided the above has been complied with, the bed may now be put into service. 1. Confirm that the wall power switch is OFF (in countries where this applicable). 2. Plug the mains supply cable into the wall powerpoint/socket/outlet. 3. Turn ON the wall switch at the power-point, (country-determined). This bed should be connected to the mains power supply and remain switched on at all times, to guarantee that the bed’s battery backup is adequately charged and ready for operation at any time. 4. Check that the bed is fully functioning by testing the perfect working order of each handset button (see page 18). 5. Confirm that the bed has been cleaned and disinfected (see page 22). PUTTING THE BED BACK INTO SERVICE 1. Read and follow the previous two sections (reading the User Manual, attending to all safety issues & operation usage). 2. Conduct a complete Maintenance Check (see page 24), for safe bed functioning and perfect working order. Especially check for the safe routing of all cables/cords and clearance for all bed adjustments. 3. Verify wheel castors are locked. 4. Confirm mains wall power is OFF. 5. Recheck the mains cord/plug for damage while out of use, push into wall socket. 6. Turn ON the wall switch (in countries where this is applicable) and leave permanently on, for charging back-up battery. 7. Confirm bed is cleaned and disinfected.
