WARNING! To minimise the risk of fire, personal injury and equipment/property damage adhere to the following instructions:
- The product must only be installed and used for its intended purpose according to the instructions in this manual and/or other documentation from Care of Sweden. The product must not be combined, assembled or repaired with parts (e.g. control unit and mattress), accessories or spare parts other than those described in this manual or other documentation from Care of Sweden. The product must not be modified in any way.
- The product must be placed and used so that it does not become trapped or damaged. Note: Be particularly aware of trapping damage when using side rails. Always make sure that the mattress is the correct size for the bed.
- Regularly check product functionality by performing a hand check (see article on Hand Check (Function Control) - CuroCell A4 - Instructions of Use).
- When the product is used for individuals needing special supervision, such as children, continuous monitoring is required.
- The mattress is protected by a hygiene cover; avoid using multiple hygiene covers as this can affect the vapour permeability of the mattress.
- The hygiene cover does not allow liquid or air to penetrate, but is vapour permeable. Make sure that the user is positioned correctly to avoid the risk of suffocation.
- Be careful with sharp objects to prevent damage to the hygiene cover.
- Do not open the control unit housing – risk for electric shock. Servicing and maintenance must be performed by Care of Sweden or one of its authorised service technicians.
- Route the power cable to the control unit carefully to avoid tripping. Also make sure that the user is lying correctly on the mattress according to the instructions and use a cable holder if possible.
- To avoid the risk of strangulation, make sure that the cable and tubes are routed to prevent someone getting caught up in them.
Note: The responsible healthcare provider must inform the user/operator of the following: - Do not use the product in bathrooms or other area where there is a risk of the control unit coming into contact with water or other liquids. Except for specified cleaning, never handle a product that has come into contact with water/liquid. Pull the plug out of the electrical socket immediately and send the product to an authorised service technician for servicing.
- Do not use close to or in contact with fire sources/hot surfaces, such as fire, burning cigarettes, hot lamps, heating fans or heating stoves/open fires as this could damage the product.
- Do not store or use the product in direct sunlight. The product may be damaged by the elevated temperature and UV light.
- Strong magnetic fields or wireless communication equipment (e.g. wireless home network products, mobile phones, walkie‐talkies, cordless phones and their base stations, radio transmitters, etc.) may affect the product’s functionality and should be kept at a distance of at least 1 metre from the control unit.
- Never use the product if the power cable, plug of the control unit or power supply housing is defective, if the control unit housing is damaged, or if it is not functioning properly. Contact an authorised service technician for examination and repair.
- Never connect anything other than the Care of Sweden supplied power supply to the control unit power cable connector.
- Never use the external communication input (3,5mm connector), this input should only be used by the manufacturer.
- If the hygiene cover is equipped with side handles, these are intended for managing or relocating the mattress. Do not use the handles to lift the mattress with the user lying on it. All other use takes place under your own liability and is not covered by the product warranty.
- To prevent the power supply from being pulled out, exercise caution when there are children and pets in the environment around the equipment.
- Use of this product adjacent to or stacked with other equipment should be avoided because it could result in improper operation. If such use is necessary, this product and the other equipment should be observed to verify that they are operating normally.
