Application Design Recommendations | 4 Introduction The purpose of this document is to support salespersons when designing and developing applications powered by LINAK MEDLINE ® & CARELINE ® systems. The systems consist of LINAK products and can interface with third party equipment. This document supports the OEM risk management process by informing about technology, principles and design characteristics in a LINAK system. Definitions CARELINE ® Together with MEDLINE, CARELINE represents one of the four LINAK market segments. CARELINE is covering bed applications for the healthcare market: homecare, nursing home and hospital. MEDLINE ® Together with CARELINE, MEDLINE represents one of the four LINAK market segments. MEDLINE is covering all healthcare applications for the healthcare market, excluding beds for homecare, nursing homes and hospitals.

Application Design Recommendations | 5 General System and application design LINAK designs and manufactures components that can be used in a combination to create a system that application manufacturers can use for their final medical product. The application manufacturer and designer are always responsible for testing and verifying that the components delivered by LINAK meet the application requirements. As an example, this also includes forces, IP degree and movement etc. The application manufacturer and designer are responsible for the application risk management and any mitigating actions needed. This document is intended to serve as an input for the application design phase and to support LINAK salespersons when identifying and handling risks in applications. This document does not replace the standard LINAK user manual and residual risk documentation, but must be seen as a recommendation and a natural supplementary. Intended use and limitation LINAK MEDLINE & CARELINE products and systems are intended to be used for healthcare products. The systems are not intended to be used for distributing, transporting or monitoring vital signs and personal data. IP degree The IP degree on LINAK products is following standard IP ratings combined with unique LINAK versions of the IPX6 rating, for instance Washable and Washable DURA ™ . See user manual for specific descriptions. The IP degree is guaranteed when a system is not moving and when products are mounted in accordance with the user manual. Duty cycle The duty cycle printed on the product label of for example actuators or control boxes must always be observed. If this is exceeded, there is a risk that the product becomes overheated and damaged. Unless otherwise specified on the label, the duty cycle is 10% or max. 2 minutes in use followed by 18 minutes not in use. Edition 2 | 2024-10-15
