1.4 Safety instructions and warnings
Before using the cot, always check the following:
That the total load on the cot does not exceed 100 kg.
That the cot is not damaged or does not function correctly for any reason.
That the accessories for the cot are correctly fitted.
Invacare® does not accept any responsibility if used incorrectly, modified or assembled in any way other than de-
scribed in the user manual. ONLY use approved accessories as stated in this user manual. Accesories that are not
approved by Invacare® may not be used on the cot.
If the cot is damaged on delivery, it must not be used until the damage is rectified.
See delivery conditions.
The cot must not be used for patients over 12 years of age or by patients whose body size is the same as, or larger
than, an average 12-year-old.
There is a risk that a patient might slip through the openings at the end of the cot. This may result in the patient
becoming trapped or asphyxiated between the mattress support, bed sides and bed end plate.
When the cot is raised or lowered there may be a risk of the patient becoming trapped in between the moveable
parts and mattress support.
Before adjusting the height, backrest, leg or thigh sections, the user must ensure that there are no blockages or
persons close by that may hinder the movement of the cot.
