The FPP is for use with a variety of different bed types and is therefore compatible with control boxes that use
an OpenBus™ interface i.e. CB6S, CB16 and CB20.
Recommendations
• The application manufacturer must insure a proper installation of the FPP in the application. The installation must be convenient for the end-user.
• To ensure proper activation, the lock above the housing must be properly locked by turning it clockwise.
• The application manufacturer must ensure the correct torque to the slotted set screw at the bracket, to ensure a stable positioning of the FPP.
• The application manufacturer must consider the bracket location for the FPP: If the FPP is mounted at a moveable part, it will move and might
touch the patient or parts of the application. If mounted at a fixed part, the patient might move out of range to reach the FPP or he might even be
hit by the FPP.
• The end-user must not apply a torque to the FPP housing exceeding 8 Nm between the flexible arm and the panel.
• The end-user must not bend the FPP arm to a radius smaller than 105 mm.
• The FPP must not be useed as a handle at any time when moving the application.
• The end-user must be informed that the FPP must not be used for other purposes (e.g. table, handle) than intended, i.e. as a Flexible Patient Panel (FPP).
• The end-user must ensure the FPP does not hit items or persons when the application is moved.
Usage:
• Ambient temperature: +5° to +40°
• Approvals: LINAK and UL International DEMKO A/S are currently in the process of certifying
FPP re. UL60601 and EN60601-1.
• Current consumption: 15 mA (Standard versions with 5 no. LED’s (5 LED’s x 2 mA = 10 mA) +
microprocessor 5 mA, total = 15 mA
Mounting instructions:
The FPP is intended for mounting at the head end of a bed so the patient is able to see and operate it with an easy push of a button. After use it can
be moved a short distance away with an easy movement.
The FPP comes with a cable attached. The bottom part of the arm is prepared for mounting inside a bracket - fitting the diameter of the arm.
The bracket is not supplied by LINAK but must be designed and made by the customer. It must fit the dimensions shown. A suggestion to a design is
illustrated on below pictures as well as the dimensions of the parts for fixation.
Possible bracket design.Dimensions lIllustration:
The FPP must be mounted in such a manner that it is secured against rotation. For this purpose the bracket end of the arm has 4 x drilled holes - one
of the 4 holes must be secured via the bracket with a slotted set screw with cone point (pointed screw).
Otherwise it may slide away from the user when operated.
