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). 

Parts and Accessories 

WARNING: 

Do not exceed the load capacity of the IV pole. If the IV pole is overloaded, 
personal injury or equipment damage may occur. 

WARNING: 

Failure to correctly attach the IV pole could let it fall, resulting in personal injury or 
equipment damage. 

WARNING: 

Uneven loading of the IV pole could let the contents fall, resulting in personal 
injury or equipment damage. 

WARNING: 

If the IV pole is installed at the foot end of the bed, make sure the Knee Up and 
Down controls are locked out. Failure to do so can result in personal injury or 
equipment damage.
