DO NOT turn ON hand-held personal communication devices, such as citizens band (CB) radios
and cellular phones while the bed is turned ON.
Be aware of nearby transmitters, such as radio or TV stations, and try to avoid coming close to
them.
If unintended movement occurs, turn the bed OFF as soon as it is safe.
Adding accessories, components or modifying this bed may make it more susceptible to
interference from radio wave sources (there is no easy way to evaluate their effect on the overall
immunity of the bed).
Report all incidences of unintended movement to the bed’s manufacturer and note whether there
is a radio wave source nearby.
CAUTION:
It is very important to read the information regarding the possible
effects of electromagnetic interference on the Bari Rehab Platform 2™ and Rest
Secure System™.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) from Radio Wave Sources
The Bari Rehab Platform 2™ and SW Rest Secure System™ have been tested and are intended
for safe use with other components compliant to IEC 601 standards for medical devices. The
Bari Rehab Platform 2™ and SW Rest Secure System™ may be susceptible to electromagnetic
interference (EMI), which is energy that is reflected or emitted from sources such as radio
stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radios and cellular phones in
the form of electrical and magnetic waves that travel through space. The interference (from
radio wave sources) is not likely but in extreme circumstances can cause this bed to move by
itself or move in unintended directions. It can also permanently damage the bed’s control
system. The intensity of the interfering EMI energy can be measured in volts per meter
(V/m). The bed can resist EMI up to certain intensity. This is called its “immunity level”.
