or by patients with body size equivalent to an average 12-year-old or smaller.
Always lower the bed to the lowest position before leaving the patient in the bed unattended.
Electromagnetic interference between the bed and other electrical products can occur.
To reduce or eliminate such electromagnetic interference, increase the distance between the bed
and the products or switch them off.
This medical bed can be used together with medical electrical equipment connected to the heart
(intracardially) or the blood vessels (intravascularly), provided that following points are respected:
• The medical bed should be equipped with means for potential equalization connection marked
out by a symbol shown in the back of this manual.
• Medical electrical equipment should not be fixed on the bed's metallic accessories
such as side rails, lifting pole, drip rod, bed ends ect.
In addition, the medical electrical equipment power supply cord should be kept clear
of the accessories or any other moving part of the bed.
There is a risk of entrapment between the backrest and the cross rail on the head end of
the mattress support. There is also a risk of getting squeezed between the leg section and the
cross rail on the foot end of the mattress support when the backrest/leg section is lowered.
With the Etude Medley low version any floor obstacle has to be lower than 5 mm.
Do not move the bed in the lower position, there is a risk of interference between a possible floor
obstacle and the central unit.
Make sure that there are nothing under, over, or near the bed that can limit the movement of the
bed or the mattress support, such as furniture, window frames and storage boxes.
Do not lift the bed by lifting the mattress support, there is a risk that the bed ends falls of the bed.
Instead, lift the bed by the bed ends.
