CAUTION:
This device meets all requirements for electromagnetic compatibility per EN
60601-1-2. It is unlikely that the user will encounter problems with this device
because of inadequate electromagnetic immunity. However, electromagnetic
immunity is always relative, and standards are based on anticipated environments
of use. If the user notes unusual device behavior, particularly if such behavior is
intermittent and associated with nearby use of radio or TV transmitters, cell
phones, or electro-surgical equipment, this could be caused by electromagnetic-
interference. If such behavior occurs, the user should try moving the interfering
equipment further from this device.
WARNING:
Do not connect the power cord to an extension cord or multiple outlet strip. The
risk of overheating and fire may result in personal injury or property damage.
WARNING:
Do not cover the bed’s power cord with a rug or carpet. The risk of overheating
and fire may result in personal injury or property damage.
Examine the covering of the bed’s control panel, including the patient lockout features, to
make sure the covering is not cracked or damaged.
Policies and procedures must be established to train and educate your staff on the risks
associated with electric equipment. It is never prudent or necessary for persons to put any
part of their body under or between moving parts of the bed. Whenever a bed is being
cleaned or serviced, it should be unplugged from its power source, and the lockouts should
be engaged to keep the bed from accidentally operating due to the battery backup. Refer to
the Excel Care™ Bariatric Bed Service Manual (man337).
