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 SW Advantage™.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) from Radio Wave Sources
The SW
Advantage™ has been tested and is intended for safe use with other
components compliant to IEC 601 standards for medical devices. The bed may be
susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI), which is interfering electromagnetic energy
(EMI) emitted from sources such as radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM)
transmitters, two-way radios and cellular phones. 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 a certain intensity. This is called its “immunity level”.
The essential performance of this bed is to adjust the bed, using the hand control or foot control
box, into various positions, such as bed up/down, head up/down, foot up/down, Trendelenburg
and Reverse Trendelenburg with no interference.
