Safety Instructions

5.1 General Safety Instructions
**** During the briefing, specific attention must be drawn to any potential dangers. Prior to the first use, the Instruction Manual must be read conscientiously and in detail by the  user / care personnel.
Any incidents or issues must be reported to Opera at, [email protected].
When operating the adjusting functions, there must not be any objects or limbs in the movement paths of the bed due to the risk of entrapment and crushing.
Do not sit on the leg section of the bed when operating the raise function.
Ensure that children cannot operate the control system and check if pets are under the bed before operating any of the functions. Never store anything under the bed.
If the physical or mental state of the patient requires, the handset can be locked on the reverse side of the handset when not in use (nurse’s key). See detailed description of  the locking operation in section 3.3 (it may be advisable to keep the handset out of reach of such a patient to avoid the risk of strangulation with the handset cord).
Adjustments to the bed must only be carried out by suitably instructed persons or in the presence of an instructed person.
The side rails have been designed in accordance with IEC 606012-52 to reduce entrapment risks and falls.
When the side rails are used, the following instructions must be adhered to, to ensure compliance with IEC 60601-2-52:

• Use only approved side rails supplied as an option by Opera.
• Only suitably instructed personnel are allowed to operate the side rails.
• Lower the side rails slowly and take care not to let them drop down.
• When operating the adjusting functions, the patient’s limbs must not protrude beyond the mattress base or touch the side rails.
• The side rails are only designed to prevent a person falling out of the bed; under no circumstances should they be climbed or leaned on.
• The side rails only provide protection against rolling out of the care bed if the backrest and lower leg adjustments are in the horizontal position.
• The side rail height from the top of the mattress in uncompressed condition must be at least 220mm. If the height is less than 220mm, increase the side rail height with  an extension side rail kit.
• During use, ensure that the side rails are level.
• Do not allow children to use the side rails, this may result in entrapment, injury and/or asphyxiation.
• Exercise caution when using the side rails with a disabled occupant, always conduct a risk assessment to ensure that the side rails are suitable for use.

Disconnect the mains plug from the socket before moving the bed, and take care to avoid dragging the mains plug across the floor when moving the bed.
The mains plug must always remain accessible to enable immediate cut-off by unplugging the mains plug from the wall socket in case of emergency.
The mains cable must be free and not caught up in anything, as it gets carried along when the bed height is adjusted, the mains plug may be pulled out of its socket and  electric leads exposed as a result.
If the mains cable or the mains plug are damaged, the relevant part must be replaced. This work should only be carried out by the manufacturer or authorised professionals.
When connecting the mains plug, do not use multiple sockets since liquids may penetrate into the sockets causing a fire hazard and a possible electric shock.
Before cleaning and disinfection, the mains plug must be disconnected and hung up safely. Plugs for the handset and the motors which are inserted into the mattress base,  control box and motor unit must remain plugged in. This is necessary to prevent water ingress into the control box.
When the bed is stationary, the castors must always be in the braked position. If the castors are not in the braked position, the bed can move when the occupant gets in and  out of the bed, since the occupant uses the bed for support. Injury can result if the care bed rolls away.
In order to move the care bed, the brakes on all four castors must be released and the mattress base be adjusted to the lowest horizontal position.
The maximum duty cycle and the safe working load must not be exceeded, otherwise safe operation cannot be guaranteed (please refer to Technical Data).
Do not exceed the maximum weight limitation of the care bed. The maximum safe working load (SWL) is 220kg/34st 6lb for the Opera Classic Profiling Bed and Opera  Classic Low Profiling Bed.
The bed must only be taken apart if there is no patient or occupant in it.
The bed must not be used in rooms where there is a risk of explosion.

5.2 Safety Information for the Operator
With the help of this Instruction Manual, instruct each user in the safe operation of the care bed before it is put into service for the first time.
Advise the user of any hazards which may occur if not handled correctly.
Only persons who have been properly instructed may operate the bed. This also applies for persons who only operate the care bed on a temporary basis.
The bed outlined in this manual is a Class I Medical Device as defined by the Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC.
Please observe your obligations as the operator, see section 7.1.

5.3 Safety Information for the User
Ensure that the operator instructs you in the safe operation of this bed.
In addition, pay particular attention to the general safety information laid out in Section 5.1.
Adjustments of the bed must only be carried out by suitably instructed persons or in the presence of an instructed person.
Make sure that the mattress base has travelled to its lowest position before leaving the patient unattended. This will minimise the risk of injury to the patient when getting in  or out of bed.
If there is a suspected fault or damage, disconnect the mains plug from the socket. Clearly mark the care bed as “Out of Order” and take it immediately out of service. Then  inform the person responsible for the bed immediately.

5.4 Cleaning and Disinfection
Before cleaning and disinfection, the mains plug must be disconnected and hung up safely. Plugs for the handset and the motors that are plugged into the control box must  remain in their sockets. This is necessary to prevent water from getting into the control system.
Do not immerse electrical components in water but wipe them with a damp cloth.
The electrical components must not be cleaned with a high pressure cleaner or a water jet. Only disinfection by wiping is permitted.
Attention: In the event of disinfection by large scale spraying with products containing alcohol, there is a danger of explosion and fire.

5.5 Servicing and Maintenance
Servicing work must only be carried out by persons who have at least read the safety regulations and are qualified to the MPBetreibV (Operators of Medical Products  Ordinance) § 4 and 6.
A technical check and/or safety inspection must be conducted at least once a year, after a lengthy break in use and before each further use. Refer to section 7.1. Any defects,  damage or signs of wear must be rectified without delay. Only original spare parts from Opera may be used, otherwise all guarantees or warranties will be excluded.
Please check all fixings on your bed at least once a month. Pay special attention to side rail components and mattress platform connections.
The 9V block battery is the energy store for electrical emergency lowering in the event of a power failure. The energy store is sufficient for one emergency lowering and must  then be replaced. If the expiry date of the battery has passed it must be replaced. Since batteries are subject to self-discharging, it is recommended to use a 6LR61 alkaline  manganese battery and to replace it every two years. Used batteries must be disposed of in an environmentally compatible way, contact your local waste recycling facility for further details.

5.6 Accessories
The optional accessories available include a patients lifting pole (product code: BOA011) of which the safe working load is 80kg and must not be exceeded. The patients  lifting pole may only be used within its admissible adjusting range which is defined by the sleeve on the bed. Otherwise the bed may tip up, resulting in serious injury.
Only the supplied side rails (BOA003) can be used with the Opera Classic Profiling Beds, please see the specifications for further details on the side rails.
Use only mattresses compatible with the supplier side rails. The dimension between upper surface in an uncompressed condition and the top edge of the upper side rail must  be 220mm minimum. If the dimension is less than 220mm, an extension side rail kit should be fitted.

5.7 Electromagnetic Compatibility
Regarding their emitted interference and interference resistance, the electric motor units comply with the requirements of EN 60601-1-2:2007 (see section 8.8). However it is  possible that electrical devices can interfere with each other. In this case, switch off the bed for a short time or remove the interference source.

5.8 Storage
If the care bed is stored for a lengthy period, the 9V block battery should be removed as it will be subject to a higher rate of self-discharge. The bed should be stored between -10°C to 60°C in a room with a relative humidity between 30% to 75%. Keep the bed dry and out of direct sunlight.

5.9 Service Life and Disposal
The normal service life for care beds in domestic use is approximately 5 years.
Please refer to chapter 9 for further instructions.

Where P is the Power of the transmitter in Watts (W) according to specifications of the transmitter manufacturer and D is the recommended working clearance in meters.
Field strengths from fixed RF transmitters should, at all frequencies, accordng to a site survey, a-Note p.5 be lower than the level of agreement be b- Note.p.5.
In the vincinity of equipment, bearing the following symbol, interference.
Note 1: At 80 and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range must be taken.
Note 2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. The propagation of electromagnetic waves is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and persons.

a)   Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations of mobile telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM, FM radio and TV broadcast can not be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey is recommended. If the field strength at the location of the care bed exceeds the specified compliance level above then the care bed should be monitored with respect to its normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, it may be necessary to take additional measures, such as reorienting or relocating the care bed.
b)   Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.

8.9 Working Clearances between Communications

Recommended working clearances between portable and mobile RF communications equipment and the care bed.

The care bed is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or user of the care bed can help to prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the care bed as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the communication device.
Output Power of Transmitter in Watts (W)| Working clearance according to transmission frequency (In meters – M)
150 kHz to 80 MHz at 3 V/m| 80 MHz to 800 MHz at 3 V/m| 800 MHz to 2.5 GHz at 3 V/m
0.01| 0.12| 0.12| 0.23
0.1| 0.38| 0.38| 0.73
1| 1.2| 1.2| 2.3
10| 3.8| 3.8| 7.3
100| 12| 12| 23

For transmitters not rated in the list above, the working clearance can be determined using the equation, which belongs to the transmitter, where P is the nominal output of  the transmitter in Watts (W) according to specifications of the transmitter manufacturer.
Note 1: An additional factor of 10/3 is applied when calculating the recommended working clearance between transmitters in the 80 MHz to 2.5 GHz frequency range in  order to reduce the probability that a mobile/portable communications device unintentionally brought into the patient area could lead to interference.
Note 2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Propagation of electromagnetic waves is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and persons.

Service Life and Disposal

**** The service life of the care bed is approximately 5 years. This is dependent upon the manner of use. The care bed is suitable to be put into service again if all measures of  Sections 2 and 7 are taken. Frequent transport, setting up and adjustment, reduce the service life, as does improper treatment, irregular servicing and exceeding the safe  working load or the admissible load cycle of the electric motors. When the service life has ended, do not dispose as normal domestic waste, please contact your local waste  recycling facility for further instructions.
