Device safety

Greiner couches were built in accordance with the applicable national and international standards and regulations
according to the current state of the art and tested by an independent body.

This couch meets the requirements for safety and functionality. It bears the CE mark, which documents compli-
ance with the basic requirements for medical devices.
The couch described in this instruction was designed and manufactured in compliance with the EC Directive 93/42
EEC (MDD - Medical Device Directive) and meets its requirements. According to the Medical Devices Act (MPG), it

is an active medical device of risk class I.
The validity of the declaration of conformity expires if changes are made to the couch by the customer or third
parties, e.g. modifications of any kind, use of external accessories, changes to the software, removal of warning
and information signs (no claim to completeness).
Due to the chosen robust, interference-proof design of the electrical adjustment devices, the couch is largely tol-

erant to EMC interference from other electrical equipment operated in the vicinity.
Despite comprehensive EMC testing, it is possible that other devices may be disturbed by the couch.
In such cases, either switch off the couch completely by disconnecting the mains plug or disconnect it from the

mains, or, if necessary, keep a larger distance from the disturbed device and change the orientation to each
other. If possible, do not use the same outlet.
This applies in particular to the simultaneous use of highly sensitive measuring instruments. Their measurement

results may be influenced under certain circumstances.
The couch can be equipped with accessories on delivery (see 5 Accessories).
If necessary, observe the instruction manuals for the accessories. For further information, please contact your

authorised specialist distributor.
All prohibition, warning and message symbols or instructions on the couch must be observed. The symbols and

notes must always be legible and complete. Damaged or lost symbols or notes must be replaced true to the origi-
nal.
The couch is mainly made of steel tubes or steel profiles. The surfaces are either powder-coated or coated with

zinc or chrome.
All surfaces are harmless against skin contact.
